On whom are the aliens-turned-music stars in Interstella 5555 based? - One Love Records Aachen

In the movie Interstella 5555 by Daft Punk it is insinuated that all genius musicians on Earth are actually aliens kidnapped by an evil manager and turned into humans. Some of them are shown being transformed. The first one is shown as a kid playing piano in a baroque setting, so I am seeing a clear indication that this is supposed to be Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. On whom are the rest based?

Young mozart-like person
#1 This one I got the reference as Mozart.

second person
#2 This one is later shown with a trumpet.

third musician
#3 This one is later shown with a grand piano.

fourth musician
#4 This one is later shown with a classical or an acoustic guitar

fifth musician
#5 This one is later shown with a broken electric guitar.



Best Answer

TV Tropes suggests

Before the Crescendolls, Earl de Darkwood's previous victims were famous musicians who look an awful lot like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Jimi Hendrix, Ella Fitzgerald, Janis Joplin and Jimmy Page.

Hendrix

It should be noted that Hendrix was not a trumpet player so I'm suspecting TV Tropes might have this wrong.

In place I offer

Miles Davis
