VOLUME 1 , ISSUE 3


It's mid Summer, and we couldn't be happier at<br />

<strong>teenLook</strong>. Although, here in Alberta it has been 4-5<br />

weeks of rain for our Summer so far! The weather may<br />

be dreary, but the pages of <strong>teenLook</strong> are lit up with all<br />

of the talented teens submitting and that are featured<br />

here! Seriously, the support has been amazing! Every<br />

issue keeps growing and reaching further out into the<br />

world. Especially now that Dara is on the staff list,<br />

helping with marketing and communicating with you<br />

guys on our social media networks. She is terrific and<br />

a truly talented lady in her own right. Our joining<br />

up here to make <strong>teenLook</strong> a better publication was a<br />

move that came naturally as we both have the same<br />

interests at heart. Letting the teen talent out there get<br />

seen and inspired to continue pursuing their dreams.<br />

This issue is aimed in that direction by having a guy<br />

on the cover! It is tough to get teen boys to submit<br />

their photos, and I want to encourage them to be as<br />

much a part of this as the girls. <strong>Ethan</strong> is pretty new to<br />

the industry, but as soon as I saw his submissions, I<br />

knew the direction for our next cover was to include<br />

him on it. In our last issue, Talayna was flawless as<br />

we remembered Audrey Hepburn. I hope you will<br />

agree that <strong>Ethan</strong> radiated the feel and look of Film<br />

Icon, James Dean, for this feature. I contacted John<br />

Oland of Motoparts about using a few of his vintage<br />

bikes from his collection for the cover shoot. He was<br />

immediately supportive and felt honoured to be included<br />

in the work we are doing. The day of the shoot<br />

was mixed with rain and clouds, but we just let it add<br />

to the drama of the shoot. It was a perfect time. I will<br />

be adding a section to the website that will include<br />

more photos for the cover shoots, as only a few can be<br />

included in the features here in the magazine. Lots of<br />

things are being added and changing to bring a better<br />

publication for all of you. Another development is<br />

merch that will be created for purchase to show your<br />

love and support and a way to show your teen spirit!<br />

would like to see and made available. You can see a<br />

preview of what we are working on, on page 81.<br />

I hope you will enjoy this fantastic issue of <strong>teenLook</strong><br />

and know I am hard at work getting issue four underway!<br />

September's issue will feature a back to school<br />

theme. So if you have some shoots lined up, feel free<br />

to incorporate your emotions about that! I'm sure it<br />

will be a mixed range of feelings!<br />

All the best, and enjoy the rest of the Summer!<br />

I would love your feedback and ideas of what you<br />

A few words from the assistant<br />

marketing and managing editor<br />

I am beyond excited to officially be a part of<br />

<strong>teenLook</strong>! When I first met James and heard about<br />

the adventure he was about to embark on, I knew I<br />

had to be involved somehow.<br />

Luis "Lou" Alvarez<br />

NYPD - First Responder<br />

"We were told the air was<br />

safe down there and it<br />

wasn't. But you know what,<br />

that doesn't matter. Because<br />

we would have went in anyway.<br />

Because that's what we<br />

do. It's not a job for us. It's a<br />

calling."<br />

With the 18'th anniversary of the<br />

9/11 terror attacks coming up<br />

next month, I want to take a moment<br />

to reflect on the passing of<br />

a fighter and warrior who left us<br />

June 29, <strong>2019</strong>. Luis Alvarez was<br />

one of the many first responders<br />

at ground zero when the twin<br />

towers fell Sept. 11, 2001.<br />

He is one of the 50,000+ people<br />

suffering from 9/11 related cancer<br />

and fought until his death to help<br />

ensure all first responders affected<br />

would be taken care of. Their<br />

work that day and for the many<br />

weeks spent thereafter, searching<br />

for survivors in one of the most<br />

devastating terror attacks,<br />

now taking its toll on them all<br />

these years later.<br />

Cancer knows no borders.<br />

Many of us in every part of this<br />

world, know someone suffering<br />

from this terrible disease. My<br />

step-father, who was diagnosed<br />

with mesothelioma a year and<br />

a half ago, is fighting his battle<br />

against it. Seeing the world he<br />

lives in shrinking around him<br />

and my mom, is heartbreaking.<br />

They loved to camp and were out<br />

several times a year, but earlier<br />

this year, they sold the truck and<br />

RV, knowing it would not be possible<br />

to go out again. Their daily<br />

routines and activities are becoming<br />

less frequent as the pain takes<br />

over. Our recent trip last week<br />

was tough on all of us, as I know<br />

this will be the last time he will<br />

spend with his granddaughters.<br />

Many people put their lives at risk<br />

every day to help others around<br />

them. They are first responders.<br />

My brother is a paramedic and<br />

fights every shift to save lives. My<br />

wife is a nurse and does her part<br />

to improve the quality of life for<br />

others.<br />

You may know some that are<br />

close to you or maybe they are<br />

complete strangers that you see<br />

rushing to an emergency. For<br />

Luis, his fight was to help safeguard<br />

the quality of care to those<br />

that helped alongside him during<br />

the recovery of the 9/11 terror<br />

attacks. He raised his voice to<br />

congress to be heard up to the last<br />

couple of weeks before his death.<br />

Ensuring that the financial aid<br />

would be given to those affected<br />

by 9/11 related cancer.<br />

Our hearts and prayers go<br />

out to all fighting the fight<br />

that is their calling.<br />

It all started with an interview. James wanted to<br />

feature a story about me and my career as a teen<br />

model; my experience of it and how it has now led<br />

me here. We are two creatives on one platform!<br />

Our visions for this magazine align so well! We are<br />

all about showcasing the incredible teen talent<br />

that we have surrounding us! We want all forms of<br />

teen talent to be featured and provide a beautiful<br />

platform to do so. Putting a spotlight on our fantastic<br />

local talent here in Canada is so important to us,<br />

but also it is equally essential for us to showcase<br />

international teens.<br />

We want to show teens<br />

around the world, the<br />

different cultures and<br />

ethnicities that are<br />

doing what we all love<br />

in their own heritage.<br />

Our goal for the<br />

magazine is to continue<br />

to showcase the stars<br />

of our future, provide<br />

inspiration and motivation<br />

on creative teen talent!<br />

We hope you love what<br />

we have done thus far<br />

and we are so excited<br />

to support and connect<br />

with people from all over<br />

the world! Keep the<br />

submissions coming in,<br />

tell your friends and let’s<br />

show off you astounding<br />

teens!<br />

teenLOOK<br />

What<br />

LOOKING BACK<br />

to watch this summer!<br />

War Horse (2011)<br />

PG / 2h 26min / Drama, History, War<br />

Released 25 December 2011<br />

Directed by Steven Spielberg<br />

On the outbreak of the First World War, teenaged<br />

Albert's beloved horse 'Joey' is sold to the Cavalry<br />

by his Father. After being sent to France, in a<br />

bid to survive, Joey has an unexpected journey<br />

across war-torn Europe. Albert enlists in the<br />

British Army and is wounded during the Battle<br />

of the Somme. While recovering in hospital, he<br />

learns of a Horse, found in no man's land.<br />

A sweeping tale of faith and endurance, tieing a boy and a horse through everything<br />

war can put in front of them, never giving up nor giving in when all<br />

hope seems lost. Each one travels a path that takes them apart, touching and<br />

making an impact upon the lives they meet. That same path eventually brings<br />

them back together in an unexpected heartwarming climax.<br />

LOOKING FORWARD<br />

Alita: Battle Angel (<strong>2019</strong>)<br />

14A / 2h 2min / Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi<br />

Released 14 February <strong>2019</strong><br />

Directed by Robert Rodriguez<br />

A deactivated cyborg is revived as a teenage<br />

girl, but she cannot remember anything of her<br />

past life and goes on a quest to find out who<br />

she is... and that is where Alita's true significance<br />

comes to bear. She is an angel from<br />

heaven. She is an angel of death.<br />

Ray Kurzweil predicts that<br />

the singularity, the time<br />

when man and machine will<br />

merge, is 2045. Some speculate<br />

it will be even sooner.<br />

Alita: Battle Angel is an<br />

intuitive look at that future<br />

we soon face.<br />

James Cameron's incredible<br />

storytelling and vision we<br />

saw in Avatar, continues<br />

to excite in this latest film.<br />

Wowing with 3D visuals<br />

and flawless cinematography.<br />

Alita is a film that<br />

shows female empowerment,<br />

personal growth,<br />

sacrifice and loss.<br />

Chromik<br />

Meet Coleton, a model from<br />

Camrose, Alberta.<br />

I'm going into Grade 11, and<br />

Basketball is my sport of choice. I<br />

started Modelling/Acting when I was<br />

13 and have been in roughly 7 USA<br />

model magazines.<br />

I have done some runway work,<br />

and photo shoots for promotional<br />

purposes as well. So far, my most<br />

significant opportunity was when I<br />

received an invitation to an Acting<br />

program for CGTV last summer in<br />

Hollywood. That was cool! I learned<br />

a lot and made a great vacation<br />

out of the time while I was there. I<br />

had Hollywood actors and several<br />

agents come in and audition me for<br />

a sitcom. I was called back by three<br />

Agencies right in Los Angeles.<br />

Right now, I am prepping as I<br />

have been chosen to be a part<br />

of Vancouver fashion week. I am<br />

hoping to model internationally<br />

within the year.<br />

I am trying to get as many jobs as I<br />

can so I have enough tear offs to go<br />

down to the States for work in both<br />

Modelling and Acting. To get a work<br />

Visa in acting/modelling for the US,<br />

Canadians need a specific # of jobs<br />

(tear-offs)<br />

I have BIG dreams, and I hope to<br />

someday be a big part of the Acting/<br />

Modelling world!<br />

CANADA<br />

& dance!<br />

Andrea and Gavin met in 2018 at<br />

Canadian Dance Unit, where they<br />

trained together for a year, Andrea's<br />

first and Gavin's last year with the<br />

studio. Through many dance classes,<br />

late rehearsals and hectic local and<br />

travelling competition weekends,<br />

the two managed to build a strong<br />

bond. Even being at different studios<br />

now, Andrea and Gavin maintain<br />

their friendship online and in real<br />

life, supporting each other's growth<br />

and cheering for one another when<br />

competing or attending conventions<br />

together.<br />

teenlook.ca | issue <strong>#3</strong> 29


Andrea is a hardworking, ambitious and<br />

talented 9 year-old girl, a competitive<br />

dancer with Canadian Dance Unit in Bolton,<br />

Ontario, an aspiring actress and model. She fell in<br />

love with dance from her very first ballet class at<br />

just under three years of age. She has been actively<br />

pursuing her passion ever since, having changed<br />

several studios in the process. Aside from numerous<br />

regional and national competitions under her belt,<br />

Andrea has also competed at the World Dance<br />

Championship as part of National Team Canada<br />

Dance 2018. She took the world stage in Warsaw,<br />

Poland, amongst so many talented dancers<br />

from around the world, and helped<br />

bring home 2 Gold, 1 Silver and 1<br />

Bronze medals in the Children’s<br />

Division. During the summer<br />

months, Andrea is<br />

Working on her technique and strength, attending<br />

several reputable workshops and intensives, while<br />

also giving back to the community by performing<br />

at the Toronto International Dance Festival and the<br />

Toronto International Youth Dance Festival. Through<br />

the fall, outside of the regular studio hours, Andrea<br />

will be training with the Toronto International Ballet<br />

Theatre to perform in “The Nutcracker” at the Meridian<br />

Hall in Toronto (ex Sony center) in December <strong>2019</strong>.<br />

Aside from Dance, Andrea is also exploring her<br />

potential in acting and modelling, having just recently<br />

signed with Max Talent Agency in Toronto and Dent<br />

Model Magazine online. Her publication debut<br />

was almost immediate with the first feature in<br />

CanKids Magazine. This was followed up<br />

by Dreamy Magazine, Ivy Magazine<br />

and Wild Child Magazine, where<br />

she landed VIP Model status.<br />

Julia Skyba<br />

Photographer<br />

Spotlight<br />

Julia's journey into photography<br />

started by accident. Little did she<br />

know that one day she would become a<br />

professional photographer.<br />

From a young age, Julia was always<br />

fond of beautiful images and could<br />

spent hours gazing at pictures. She<br />

could visualize stills within the<br />

motion of life and could hold the<br />

images of moments already gone, but<br />

becoming a photographer was not<br />

something she aspired to, given her<br />

first experience with the camera was<br />

not very successful. Imagine a black<br />

and white Olympus in the hands of a<br />

9 year old, the all black, bright white<br />

or blurry images and the frustration<br />

and confusion that accompanied them.<br />

Julia was positive she would never<br />

touch a camera again, but life proved<br />

her wrong.<br />

When the new era of digital cameras<br />

emerged Julia saw an opportunity to<br />

try the camera again and bought her<br />

first Nikon. Julia shared her excitement<br />

over her new toy with her friend, who<br />

also became her first client. Julia's first<br />

paid job was a kids birthday party and<br />

within those two hours she managed<br />

to take over a thousand images. Later<br />

Julia had to spend many long hours<br />

selecting and editing those photos<br />

before she could deliver them to her<br />

friend. It took her years to simplify the<br />

process and become as efficient as she<br />

is today.<br />

Over the last five years Julia has<br />

taken numerous courses and training<br />

to sharpen those natural skills,<br />

participated in workshops, and had<br />

hundreds of photo shoots.<br />

Every photo session would bring both<br />

excitement and challenges. Every new<br />

client requires new and interesting<br />

ideas and a unique approach.<br />

Creativity and patience are a big part<br />

of who Julia is and why her clients love<br />

working with her.<br />

For the love of photography, Julia<br />

transformed her living room into a<br />

studio, while the rest of the house<br />

stores a variety of props for any<br />

occasion. From maternity and<br />

newborn, to business and modeling<br />

portfolios, Julia does it all. Whether<br />

it's a smash cake session or a wedding,<br />

Julia has you covered. She will often<br />

conduct a meet & greet session in<br />

advanced, to get an understanding of<br />

each client's desires and expectations,<br />

as well as consult them on the best<br />

approach or offer suggestions and<br />

wardrobe advice. When weather<br />

cooperates Julia also loves shooting<br />

outside to capture her clients and the<br />

beauty of some natural settings.<br />

Though Julia does all kinds of photo<br />

services and works with people of all<br />

ages, her favorite age group is older<br />

kids and teenagers. There is something<br />

about them that makes them free<br />

spirited and natural, but also easy to<br />

manage and coordinate. They have joy<br />

of youth with a flavor of maturity, they<br />

are fresh and open to ideas and even to<br />

try something crazy at times.<br />

Being a very shy person Julia never<br />

thought she'd be able to work with<br />

people she doesn't know, however<br />

when she is behind the camera she<br />

becomes invisible and focuses only on<br />

what she wants to achieve as a result.<br />

Julia can lay on the ground, climb the<br />

fence, show her models how to pose<br />

and sometimes even entertain them<br />

using a clown nose. One time Julia<br />

Julia<br />

Skyba<br />

had to actually hide between pews and<br />

really blend with the guests to capture<br />

a baptism in a Catholic church where<br />

photography was not permitted. But<br />

she later realized she was spotted when<br />

the minister said in his final speech,<br />

“Anything is possible when you set<br />

your mind to it. Even photography in<br />

the ceremony that is not allowed.”<br />

Julia believes that photography makes<br />

her a better person, helps her grow in<br />

every aspect, helps understand life and<br />

makes time stop with every click of the<br />

camera, giving her clients the gift of<br />

time, those immortalized moments,<br />

whether a smile, or a look or a simple<br />

gesture. Photography is what shapes<br />

Julia's dreams, her plans for future and<br />

her life.<br />

Spotlight<br />

Andrew MacLeod<br />

I<br />

have been a photographer for<br />

many years and have enjoyed<br />

every minute. I have enjoyed<br />

volunteering my time to give back<br />

to others when I can. I have been<br />

happily involved with NILMDTS,<br />

Help Portrait, BEautiful Me and the<br />

International Children’s Festival. I<br />

enjoy all types of photography, but<br />

I would call myself a portrait and<br />

fashion photographer. These are the<br />

areas I enjoy capturing the most.<br />

I think the bottom line is I love<br />

working with people and doing my<br />

best to capture the emotion in any<br />

type of photo shoot I might be doing.<br />

For me photography is a passion and<br />

by keeping it part-time I have been<br />

able to keep that passion alive.<br />

The last few years I have become very<br />

involved in the model scene here in<br />

the Edmonton area and I have been<br />

blessed to have been able to work<br />

with so many amazing models,<br />

Make-up artists, Hair Stylists,<br />

designers, other photographers and<br />

of course moms who have given their<br />

children unconditional love and<br />

support which has helped their sons<br />

& daughters reach for their dreams.<br />

I enjoy trying to make all my shoots<br />

fun and helping models see the<br />

amazing potential they all have. As<br />

long as I continue to learn and grow<br />

as a photographer, I hope to do this<br />

for many years to come. teenLOOK<br />

a film icon<br />

remembering<br />

James<br />

Dean<br />

60 PHOTO teenlook.ca CREDIT | issue / HULTON <strong>#3</strong> ARCHIVE/GETTY IMAGES


James Byron Dean<br />

When it comes to iconic film stars<br />

and celebrities, usually three<br />

names will come to mind. Marylin<br />

Monroe, Elvis Presley, and<br />

James Dean.<br />

The film industry of the 50s was<br />

mostly filled with Biblical epics and<br />

Historical Masterpieces. Life on screen<br />

was portrayed as idyllic and perfect.<br />

But there was an restless group of the<br />

viewing audience that wanted to see<br />

life the way it really was for them.<br />

America's restless youth.<br />

These teenagers instantly identified<br />

with James' onscreen performance of<br />

Cal Trask in East of Eden, a role that<br />

mirrored James' own life. His role of a<br />

despondent son, without a mother and<br />

unable to please his father, came to life<br />

easily and honestly on screen. So real<br />

in fact that this relatively unknown<br />

actor sat down to watch the screening<br />

of the film, completely unrecognized,<br />

but by the end, he walked out a star. It<br />

happened that fast.<br />

Up to this point, James had always<br />

been pursuing his acting career.<br />

Appearing in some commercials, and<br />

on film and stage, but it wasn't until<br />

1951 when he moved to New York to<br />

pursue acting seriously. He wanted<br />

nothing else than to become a star.<br />

Life was hard, and he was often broke<br />

and unable to pay his rent; sometimes<br />

going days between meals. Never<br />

giving up on his dreams, he was always<br />

searching for the next gig to propel<br />

him to stardom.<br />

He was a difficult actor to work with<br />

for both fellow actors and directors<br />

alike. He would continuously do his<br />

own thing during rehearsals. Making<br />

life difficult for everyone on set, but<br />

when it came time to perform, then his<br />

true grit and honesty would shine, and<br />

that's what caught peoples attention.<br />

words by Mr. G<br />

Off the set, he was reticent and moody.<br />

If you came up to him as a fan or<br />

showing him your appreciation for his<br />

work and gushing over him, he wasn't<br />

interested. He wanted the honest<br />

opinion of people who saw him and<br />

his work for what it was.<br />

Genuine.<br />

At first glance, many people didn't<br />

think much of the young actor. He<br />

never carried himself as a star or acted<br />

that way. Most often, the complete<br />

opposite. Remaining quiet and aloof at<br />

events, preferring to be on his own.<br />

The most significant danger in James'<br />

life was his lack of fear. He loved speed<br />

and was becoming an exceptional race<br />

car driver in between filming. He loved<br />

motorcycles and fast cars.<br />

His acting career was brief, with only<br />

just a little over a year's worth of film<br />

work, making three films in total. East<br />

of Eden, Rebel without a cause, and<br />

Giant.<br />

Even in that short period, James<br />

Dean has become one of the most<br />

recognizable household names. His<br />

portrayal and personification of the<br />

American teenager through his life<br />

and films has made him unforgettable.<br />

Sadly, his career and life were cut short<br />

while on route to a race. September 30,<br />

1955, James' Porsche 550 Spyder was<br />

involved in an accident, and he was<br />

killed at the age of 24.<br />

The two latter films were released after<br />

his death, and he was nominated for<br />

two academy awards.<br />

A hollywood legend and icon.<br />

His life cut short, but he lives on in his<br />

persona and influence. teenLOOK<br />

“There is no simple explanation for why he has come to mean so much to so<br />

many people today. Perhaps it is because, in his acting, he had the intuitive<br />

talent for expressing the hopes and fears that are a part of all young people…<br />

In some movie magic way, he managed to dramatize brilliantly the questions<br />

every young person in every generation must resolve.”<br />

comfortable and fashionable clothing that<br />

was also fun and edgy. Not finding what<br />

Jenny, the older of the two, pursued<br />

start on her journey and spread her<br />

creative wings, she decided to start a<br />

Chelsea, younger by three years, is an<br />

she rose through the ranks of<br />

retail management positions in various<br />

Sofia<br />

Filzi<br />

Meet Sofia, a 12 year-old<br />

model from Calgary, Aberta.<br />

Sofia is a typical 12-year old girl who<br />

loves to play sports and made every<br />

team in her first year eligible in Junior<br />

High (Grade 7). Some of her favourite<br />

sports are volleyball, badminton, flag<br />

football and soccer. Coming from a<br />

home with a brother with disabilities,<br />

Sofia has a good head on her<br />

shoulders. She is empathetic, kind and<br />

outgoing. She would love to pursue a<br />

career in modelling or acting, but she<br />

also understands that she is still young,<br />

and there is lots of life to be had before<br />

her time comes.<br />

As they say,<br />

"this is a marathon; not a sprint."<br />

Some of Sofia's accomplishments:<br />

• Runner up at Jr Miss Calgary in<br />

February 2018<br />

• Faces West International/<br />

Vancouver – Sofia received 11 call<br />

backs from modelling agents from<br />

around the globe, but as expected<br />

most asked to follow her progress<br />

as she was still young. One from<br />

Paris asked for 6-month updates.<br />

• Sofia was chosen to model in the<br />

<strong>2019</strong> look book of Faun Studios<br />

(Marissa Clark Designer) who was<br />

featured at NYFW this past winter.<br />

Count what you love about yourself.<br />

This can sometimes be tricky… you may think the<br />

idea of sitting down and writing up what you love<br />

about yourself strange, but it will help you so much<br />

in low moments. In difficult times, when you really<br />

aren't feeling your best, looking back at what you are<br />

proud about or even some of your accomplishments<br />

can make a huge difference in how you think. Just<br />

remember this- we have low moments so we can<br />

appreciate the high, and everything will work itself out.<br />

are the only one who struggles with selfesteem<br />

and self-confidence, but trust me, at some<br />

point, we all do. My self-esteem and confidence<br />

have not always been as healthy as it is today. Just<br />

like everyone else, I've struggled with feeling bad<br />

about myself, doubting every action. It's normal,<br />

and it's not something we can avoid. However,<br />

this is something we can learn to deal with and<br />

learn to make it better. Over the last few years, I've<br />

realized a few things we can do to help how we<br />

feel about ourselves. These suggestions aren't<br />

things that are going to make you wake up and<br />

never have doubts about yourself again, but they<br />

are aspects that count! Last month I spoke about<br />

taking care of our outside, now let's talk about the<br />

inside. Mental Health is an essential idea to me,<br />

which is why I am honoured to share my thoughts<br />

on the subject here in Teen Look Magazine.<br />

Don't forget the fact that you are your most<br />

judgmental critic.<br />

Sometimes we think that others will notice the "huge"<br />

zit on your face or even the tiniest imperfection. In fact,<br />

you are the one that will notice it the most. We can't let<br />

the small imperfections decide how we feel, or how<br />

much confidence we carry. In reality, good people and<br />

good friends won't like you based on your looks, but<br />

instead your inside- your personality. A friend who is not<br />

there for you when you aren't looking your best is most<br />

likely a friend you don't want to have. You want to find<br />

people who only care about the true you.<br />

Know who you are and what you want.<br />

An unbearable amount of stress and disappointment is<br />

caused by comparing yourself to others. Everyone has<br />

their own unique purpose, goals, and vision. If we waste<br />

time looking at who is better, who is prettier, etc., we will<br />

feel the lowest about ourselves. It's crucial to find your<br />

goal, and then work towards it.<br />

Be appreciative and count your blessings.<br />

I like to take a few moments at the end of each day to<br />

reflect on the good in my life. I find staying positive, and<br />

looking at the glass half full helps me realize the bright<br />

side. Some examples of areas I express gratitude<br />

towards include friends and family. Never forget who is<br />

always there to support you when you fall.<br />

Surround yourself with people that make you feel<br />

amazing.<br />

The first step to healthy self-esteem and confidence<br />

is spending time with the people who care about you<br />

most. If you surround yourself with people who insult<br />

you and make you feel low about yourself, it can hurt<br />

the way you view yourself. I challenge you right now<br />

to express your gratitude towards one person who is<br />

always in your corner. The person who makes you feel<br />

fantastic about yourself.<br />

Talk to you next month,<br />

USA<br />

Starting out<br />

Alyssa Lynn is a 17<br />

year-old Country<br />

music artist based out<br />

of Nashville, TN. She<br />

started out singing<br />

karaoke when she<br />

was four years old,<br />

going every single<br />

weekend, and eventually<br />

singing in front<br />

of large crowds and<br />

loving every moment<br />

of it!<br />

In her words<br />

I started playing<br />

guitar when I was<br />

10 years old. I come<br />

from a musical<br />

family so it’s in my<br />

blood. When I was<br />

14 I knew that this is<br />

what I wanted to do.<br />

My goal is to travel<br />

around and share my<br />

story and music with<br />

others. That’s where<br />

I see myself in the<br />

future, connecting<br />

with people all over<br />

through music.<br />

Alyssa<br />

Lynn<br />

Gentry, John Michael Montgomery, and<br />

Drake White to performing at Nashville’s legendary<br />

Bluebird Café, Nine North Records Artist,<br />

Alyssa Lynn is already leaving her stamp on the world<br />

of modern country music. The singer-songwriter-guitarist<br />

cites The Dixie Chicks, Dolly Parton and Miranda Lambert<br />

as just a few of her musical inspirations and has benefitted<br />

from the guidance of her personal mentor, long-time<br />

Grand Ole Opry member Pam Tillis. Over the years,<br />

Alyssa has also greeted fans at Fan Fair X during Nashville’s<br />

CMA Fest and has taken the stage at Belcourt Taps, Commodore<br />

Jadia<br />

Owen<br />

Meet Jadia, a 15 year-old<br />

model from Edmonton, AB.<br />

Jadia comes from a family of 4 and has one younger<br />

sister (Chloe) who is also considering modelling!<br />

Although I am pretty shy and quiet among my peers,<br />

I have always loved posing and having my picture<br />

taken since I was very young. I do my hair and makeup<br />

for the majority of my Instagram photos as I have a<br />

real passion for makeup, especially.<br />

Just over the last six months, I have focused on<br />

building up my followers on Instagram (11k) and<br />

promoting myself as a model. I have recently just<br />

finished my professional portfolio and plan to pursue<br />

more jobs and possibly sign with an agency soon.<br />

I have been a dancer of all genres since I was four<br />

years of age and enjoy cheer and art.<br />

I love to listen to modern music while sketching<br />

and painting as those are my ways to escape.<br />

Architecture fascinates me, so travel is a huge<br />

passion of mine. I have always loved looking at new<br />

architecture style, and I hope to one day become an<br />

architect alongside modelling on a professional level.<br />

I have always been a natural in front of the camera and<br />

spend any free time I have scouting out photoshoot<br />

locations and posing for my Instagram account.<br />

My new-found confidence and the support of my<br />

family, especially my mother, who has been by my side<br />

for everything, has brought me to where I am today.<br />

Although I plan to move away to work, travel and<br />

model, I will always keep my family close. I love<br />

how the camera brings out my true self and can<br />

also allow me to take on a new persona. Everyone<br />

assumes I am much older, and I guess I can say I am<br />

in a hurry to grow up while still enjoying the fun that<br />

comes along with being young.<br />

Kaye<br />

Dalalo<br />

Meet Kaye, a 17 year-old<br />

model from Edmonton, AB.<br />

Kaye moved from Philippines 4 years<br />

ago to reunite with relatives and is the<br />

middle child in her family.<br />

My hobbies are singing, and playing<br />

my favourite sport, badminton. I also<br />

workout at least three days a week, no<br />

matter how busy I am for me to get fit<br />

and to stay healthy. Since I was a kid,<br />

I’ve always wanted to do modelling,<br />

and right now I want to pursue it, even<br />

more, looking for more opportunities.<br />

I took the 'Walk the talk' course because<br />

I wasn’t sure how to get started and<br />

wasn't really that confident in myself.<br />

After the course, my confidence level<br />

was totally boosted and it was a great<br />

experience. I learned so much! All<br />

thanks to Ms. Dara & Christine, Ernest,<br />

EDSNA & to everyone involved.<br />
