I have always felt that young talent is the heart of the entertainment industry, after all they are our future as cliche as it sounds. Disney has been a profitable young talent machine making young talent, every day house hold names.

Either you believe it to be a bias blog review or not take it as you will. I say this as a disclaimer due to the fact that I have watched personally young talent Trevor Jackson grow up these last few years through our love of capoeira. 

Trevor Jackson is one to watch for, more than a triple threat, this young man is a human sponge when it comes to the arts. Music, to dance, acting, to martial arts I haven’t quite ever met a person that can excel at everything that they touch like Trevor Jackson. 

His new project can be seen tomorrow on the Disney channels new movie “Let it Shine.” Far from being his first notable debut. Trevor track list of projects parallels one that many adult entertainers would strive to achieve.

From the beginning of Young Simba in the musical theatrical production The Lion King a broadway hit, current series regular in Syfy channels hit “Eureka.” in addition to be a rising star as a recording artist with influencers like Michael Jackson, Trevor Jackson has his hands in every pot in the entertainment industry and intends to rock all his endeavors to the fullest. 

Despite his busy schedule in a very often at times skewed and unstable industry, Trevor Jackson stays grounded through the people that surronds him. From his extraordinary and supportive mother (far from the stage mothers that we are all too familiar with,) to his outside normal kid activities such as Capoeira and being active in his martial arts group being mentored by my very own Capoeira profesor Axe Vita.

Check out his official website launch tomorrow:

Redefining, what use to be considered an art that represented defiance and associated with society’s unwanted.

We all have heard and ventured downtown on Thursday nights for Downtown Art Walk. A night that attracted a scene of people with all alternative motives for joining in on the festivities. Either it be another night for organized bar crawls, art connoisseurs that sipped on wine to view various elaborately presented art pieces, or the foodies that had the hunger to discover and consume every food truck in sight.

Summer is here, and it is time to venture west for a whole new adventure. Being a native to LA, art was and still is all around me. Art isn’t defined by the confines of a picture frame. It is the energy of the people on the street and the clothes on their backs, the unexpected graffiti mural that is planted on a bus bench, to the artisan crafts hand made by the man sitting on the corner selling his craft for survival. 

What if I told you there is a place that encompasses all of Los Angeles’ electrifying unique culture? I’ll let you on in a little secret…there is a whole new way to put the cliche Sunday Funday to work.

Cahuenga Corridor Street Market, that launched May 6th is heading full force every Sunday through summer. A all day event that all attendees are bound by similar interest. To be exposed to the unknown and underrepresented.

 Cahuenga Corridor Street Market differentiates it self from the rest, collaborated “by artist for artist.” 

An array art in many forms that represents the city I grew up in unique culture. Music, street graffiti art (once looked down upon) that is getting exposed and appreciated by all despite previously preconceived notions, clothing designers, and artisan crafts. This street market goes far beyond just a its name, it is a place for exposure, knowledge, and collaborative inspiration.

This day long street market is seriously one created for everyone, families, tourist, or just another native Los Angelinos like me rediscovering the beauty of LA all over again.

Don’t miss out on this new eyeopening event, where LA is truly viewed through a new lens. Inspire your senses, and get exposed to why we live and breath LA.

I am so happy this summer, busy but happy. However, sometimes with happiness we need to be reminded what it took to get to this point of bliss. All the upsets. All the heartaches. All the roadblocks.

Remembering all those, allows me at least to appreciate the beauty that is my life currently. 

Man it has been a tough tough year, and it will continue to be tough for a while with surgeries. 

Yet I am hopeful, take that with a grain of salt. I am human there are days where I get up and I don’t feel like myself. I look at my past and saw a girl who love taking pictures, and now I find myself hiding. In time that confidence will come back.

The accident left me more than physically broken and traumatized. Emotionally and mentally, it affects me more I am not going to lie. 

Guidance self preservation and the will to live , keeps me going.

I share a song that everyone can relate to, don’t take it for the obvious lyrics dig deeper and apply it to yourself. Life isn’t worth living if I didn’t have roadblocks, to only appreciate the blissful life that I am living in this moment, this second, this current heartbeat as I write this.
