The main idea of this paper is to determine the opinions of music consumers toward the brand of a musician, in general, and then to build different models and alternatives to the ones proposed so far, both while taking into account the elements and the characteristics proposed until now, as well as the answers given by the respondents. The research will focus on: the analysis of general attitudes and consumer behavior, with regard to music and the view of the consumers towards native Romanian singers and international ones. Moreover, the brand of a singer, from the perspective of associating the brand itself with the image created and with the primordial characteristics that must be respected by a singer, in order for them to be appreciated by the consumers, will also be discussed.
