Abstract
La creciente actividad audiovisual en redes
sociales ha provocado que YouTube se convierta
en un espacio internacional creativo y social en el
que se dan cita contenidos generados por el
usuario, medios de comunicación, empresas y
comunidades online. Un escenario digital que
identifica la figura del youtuber y,
concretamente, la de aquel sujeto cuyas dotes
artísticas y musicales se ven expandidas a través
del cover ficcional. La presente investigación
pretende analizar la construcción de este perfil
desde su origen amateur hasta el profesional por
medio de las figuras de Taylor Davis y Lindsey
Stirling: violinistas norteamericanas dedicadas a la
música, los videojuegos, las películas, las series,
entre otros productos de la Industria Cultural. Para
ello, exploramos sus canales mediante un análisis
de contenido cualitativo, logrando aproximarnos
a un fenómeno mainstream que aúna bajo un
mismo halo el universo fandom, la música y el
éxito artístico por medio de productos culturales
de tendencia, facilitando la construcción de una
comunidad creativa, ingeniosa y latente en
entornos virtuales: los youtubers de la música.
The audiovisual activity developing in social networks has led to the YouTube platform becoming an international creative and social space where the content created by the user, the media, the companies and the online communities comes together. This digital opportunity identifies the figure of the youtuber, especially those whose artistic and musical talents are disseminated by the use of a fictional cover. This research seeks to analyse this profilebuilding starting from its amateur origin and ending with its professional stage, by means of the figures of Taylor Davis and Lindsey Stirling: North American violinists devoted to music, video games, films, series, among other products within the Cultural Industry. To this end, their channels have been examined through qualitative content analysis. This methodology made it possible for us to explore in depth this mainstream phenomenon encompassing the world of fandom, music and artistic success through trendy cultural products. As a consequence, musician youtubers are building a creative, ingenious and suppressed community in virtual environments.
