frontperson
Group's public face
A frontperson is the lead singer or spokesperson of a band, serving as its public face.
The term is a gender-neutral alternative to frontman: The band's frontperson commanded the stage.
Like other -person compounds, it avoids assuming the role belongs to a man, though frontman remains more common in casual use.
