Pop/pop rock based.

It'll have some tracks with heavy guitars that make you wanna headbang, some heavy electronics (like The Killers), maybe some hip-hop influences (like Lorde, I just love those hi hat sounds). Delivery-wise, it'll be like indie songs.

I already have a promotional campaign for a debut artist.

Record a BANGING song to be the first single. Test the waters by getting opinions from relevant people in the industry. Keep everything a damn secret, not one freaking leak of information.

Of course i would first have to have label's support.

Send the single to all the major stations in the USA where they premiere the single at the exact same time. But the thing is? The artist name will be 'Artist X'. I would be unknown. No one would know who the song is from.
I would let the music do the talking.

People will start guessing who this Artist X is. Fan bases will be going crazy trying to figure out if its their fave or not. This will generate great attention and exposure for the song. The song will slowly start to gain a lot of buzz and slowly climb the charts.

Then, a big announcement.

Artist X will be revealed at the VMA's 2015 with the first ever live performance of the song, as well as revealing the identity of this Artist X that everyone is talking about.

Give one hell of a performance to prove that this was not only a marketing plan, but this artist is also here to stay.

Release the music video for the song the same night as the VMA performance. Next week, release the 2nd single and the week after release the album.


Grammy Award for Best New Artist here i come.

I'd make a pop album with heavy guitar à la 1989. I have written over 700 songs in my life, and some could make dead careers come back alive, but I'd honestly rather give them to other artists and work with Dr. Luke and Max Martin.

A Gospel-Edm esque record with production vibes from Dj Mustard and Azealia Banks

If there's any budget left I would include a disk 2 dedicated to the art poo genre that follows similar sounds to progressive hakken and industrial frenchcore

to sum up it should sound something like this

These sound nice, but where's the development of your harmonic progression & of the melodic motifs? At the moment they just sounds like the same 5 seconds on loop. There's not much dynamic and variation to keep the listener interested - Lady Starlight teas. But maybe that's what you were aiming for?

WHAT KIND OF GENIOUS!!
