Some managed their money badly. And some spent all their money on lavish mansions, expensive cars and various addictions.
Creative Identity.
Creative Identity is the constantly changing perception and evaluation of ones inner self through the expression of creative work. (McRobbie,1998, 66). It is constantly re-defined and altered to reflect on the individual’s current needs or desires (Heather, 2015).
When comprehending this subject, we see that this is apparent in the music industry. Artists are often drawn in a completely opposite musical direction in an attempt to re-invent themselves, usually for financial or social benefits (Bukszpan, 2010). This draws upon similar ideas as Authenticity and the concept of the ‘poser’ (Gordon, 2014, 183), where this attempt at re-defining ones self can often lead to the individual losing their Creative Identity altogether.
