*'''Img_capt''': A caption for the above image.
*'''Background''': A name chosen according to the established guidelines below.

*'''Instrument''': The instruments the performer plays. [[Singing]], [[rapping]], [[beatboxing]], and [[scat singing]] are considered instruments.

*'''Occupation''': The types of musical work the artist does (applies only to solo acts)
*'''Years active''': The period during which the group was active, in years.

*'''Associated_acts''': Acts from which this act spun off, acts which spun off a group act, groups a solo performer is a member of, and acts which which the act frequently associates with.

*'''Past members''': The past memebers of the group (only applies to group acts)

===Notes===
*Never link years, unless accompanied by dates.
*Please see the [[WikiPedia:WikiProject Musicians|WikiProject Musicians project page]] for more information about this template. Most fields are optional and the row will simply be omitted if no data is supplied.

====Colors====
The infobox is color-coded to provide a quick indication of the type of group/performer, ''e.g.'' solo artist, orchestra, etc. This is similar to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums#Colors|color scheme]]s used by [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums]] and other projects. Please discuss additional types that need to be accounted for on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}#Color coding scheme|talk page]].

'''The user doesn't choose the colors directly:''' he simply specifies a name which identifies the type of performer, and is indicated, on each bar, in the table below.
