I take a year off from the forums, and come back to find SICC has still been putting in work. Bravo, young man. I've been a fan of your vocal style since the first song you posted on here. You've got quite a bit of work to do if you want your image to fit the music though... As already mentioned, and as I'm sure you hear on the daily, you're just too goddamn young and innocent looking. I always get the impression you're lip-syncing to someone else's track, you know? Not that I think you are, mind you, it just appears that way because of your image.I hope to don't take this as a dig or insult, I don't mean it that way. I really like your stuff and would love to see you succeed. I'm just having trouble envisioning how you're ever going to get your physical style and vocal styles to mesh, and allow you to attain that success.
I'll always be here man haha!
I get what you mean man, i've been thinking about image a lot and i think need something temporary like a way of putting the hair that can be taken down in regular life or face paint that can be taken off type of thing, before i go permanent but i can't think of any thing that would work.
and in the interest of being fully transparent with people on the forum, this video is lip synced, i mean to my own song that i made but i just recorded the song reading it and didn't fully know it so rather than 100's of takes doing a song i wrote the day before live, i just recorded it and took 2 takes of this video, just like a regular music vid but i have the mic in front of me, in a few spots you can see it doesn't fit with the words and with the raw audio from the video i sound stupid as fuck cause i was performing it like it sounds in the song, then i would slip up forget where i was and slowly recover the volume to be performing it how it sounds in the song haha.

Well, I'm glad that my impression wasn't unfounded (re: lipsyncing) lol. Normally that isn't a problem, but on a "freestyle" track, if the viewer notices you're not actually performing it in the video, it makes them question whether it's really freestyle or rehearsed. Y'know? Just my two cents. Er, shillings. Er, Euro. Er, whatever the hell y'all use as change nowadays.
I dunno about face paint. I mean, you go that route, and you'll wind up pigeonholing yourself into a niche genre - namely, us lol. Do you really want to do that, this early in your career? Something with the hair might help, but I'm thinking a weightlifting regimen might do the trick. Hear me out. In this vid, in particular, I got fixated on the fact that you look too goddamn young. I couldn't figure out why, so I watched it over and over... Beyond the baby-face, which you can't do a lot about, it's your arms. Don't take it the wrong way, but you've got this "I've still got my baby fat!" thing going on. I probably wouldn't have noticed it, if it weren't for the fact that my kid's 15, and his arms are the same way despite weight training. He's just got this layer of baby fat that hasn't gone away yet. I could be totally off base, but I really think that has something to do with your image problem.
Either way, I think the majority of the image issue will take care of itself just over time. So, you may be best served to just keep at it, ignore the image, and just perfect your craft. Either way, you'll always have a fan here, bro.

I get you man, plus the shirt i'm wearing is a size too small, i used to be fat like 15 stone or 210lbs, then i lost a lot of weight starving my self n shit till i got to 8 stone or 112lbs, in like a year, looking back i'm probably lucky i'm not dead haha. then after that i hit the gym and was eating right and lifting and got up to like 9stone 5 or 133 lbs and i looked good i still looked like a kid, but then i decided smoking weed and eating taco bell all the time was a good idea so right now i'm like 10 stone or 140 lbs with basically no muscle. The good news is i did hit the gym yesterday and i think I've got the love for that feeling again so i'm back on track and hopefully i don't near kill myself this time haha.
