Cyrano
A story/novel concept about a Black Hip-Hop and R&B boy band and their journey within the music industry. Here you can view their design progress from 2020 to now.
The characters you see here have been...
CJ
Ciaran-Jamir Houston
One of Cyrano's lead singers, from Camden, New Jersey. CJ is considered a survivor from having to deal with shady figures in his old neighborhood, and his mental illnesses (Social Anxiety, Depression). Not your typical lead singer, he’s more introverted and enjoys quiet time to himself, his teddy bears, and listening to audiobooks any chance he gets. CJ’s also into skincare, making sure he looks and smells good.

The Prince
Odell Trevonté Berks
The ad-libber/background singer for Cyrano, from Center City, Philadelphia. The Prince knows what he likes and how he wants it. While not having experience in professional singing, he has been trained in acting for commercials his family would shoot and direct, and various styles of dance. He has an eccentric eye for fashion, wardrobe, and hair, especially from his signature “O-Dog” plaits.
18 years
Krome
Kelo-Romello Thornton
One of Cyrano's rappers/background singers, from Atlanta, Georgia. Krome's been considered an outcast his whole life. Under his rough exterior, he's cool and sensitive, although his internal vexation tends to disturb others and get him into trouble. Krome normally spend his time alone working on his extravagant paintings when not working on his rap skills and performing.
17 years
Baby Boy
Keyon Champlost
The other rapper/backing vocalist of Cyrano, from Queens, NYC/New York. Being the youngest member, Baby Boy is a super playful and goofy kind of dude, always finding a way to make others laugh, smile and have a good time. While he’s not clowning around with his (corny) jokes and whatnot, you might catch him writing, recording, or editing videos he enjoys making. Baby Boy also enjoys trying new things and new
experiences, like trying different ice cream flavors.
16 years
Tony Touch
Antonio Threston-Arnold
One of Cyrano's lead singers, from Kensington, Philadelphia. Tony Touch is the oldest, and the most mature member of the group. You can tell from his quite dapper sense of fashion, and impeccable vocabulary (that he often has to explain to others). While not doing anything music related, you can catch Tony drifting off in his imagination, writing down dreams he’s had in his log, or even reading 2 books at once. He's just different like that.
