In this recent piece from MusicThinkTank, Rachelle Wilber provides some suggestions on how performers can create an original and memorable image for themselves when performing on stage, whether it’s working from a specific color pallet, or creating custom uniforms to wear during shows.

You might decide to wear suits and fancy gowns, or you could dress up in an elaborate vintage theme. Treat your clothing like a costume and your musical persona as a character.”
