The Yellow
Cloud
The Yellow Cloud was
designed by the enigmatic Prince Rogers Nelson.
Prince Roger Nelson
(the artist formerly known as Prince.) was a native
of Minnesota and comes from a line of musicians
and performers. His father and mother was in a
jazz band, with his mother as the vocalist.
Prince (or whatever
his name is now) is a very talented guy, teaching
himself not only the guitar, but also the piano
and drums at a very tender age, and during his
teenage years recorded his first album.
Prince is a keen student of rock
music, and is influenced by the Beatles, Joni
Mitchell, Jimi Hendrix and Little Richard, to
name a few. As you might expect, his music is
based on music like rhythm and blues, soul and
funk.
It is actually quite expected
of Prince to design his own guitar, since he had
total control over his musical career, being a
musician, a manager, a director and a producer
all at once.His guitars are designed to serve
as props, complementing his stage sets and costumes,
as well as his image.
