Selena Gomez doesn’t post that often. But it’s no surprise<br />

that Selena has hit such a milestone, especially since she<br />

posts so many stunning selfies and adorable stage photos<br />

with her fans, all of which get millions of likes. However,<br />

that being said, Gomez hasn’t actually posted on Instagram<br />

since 15th August, because she’s taking some time off after<br />

cancelling her upcoming tour shows due to her Lupus. But,<br />

despite not being active for over a month, people still<br />

continued to follow her. Now that shows the true power of<br />

Selenators and her adoring fans!<br />

Did you know that 100 million is FOUR TIMES the population<br />

of Texas, which is where Selena was born? How crazy is<br />

that?!<br />

Congratulations to Selena on reaching such an incredible<br />

follower count!!!<br />

Adele provided vocals for Jack Peñate's song, "My<br />

Yvonne," for his debut 2007 album, and it was<br />

during this session she first met producer Jim<br />

Abbiss, who would go on to produce both the<br />

majority of her debut album, 19, and tracks on 21.<br />

Adele began singing at<br />

age four and asserts<br />

that she became<br />

obsessed with voices.<br />

An appearance she made on Saturday<br />

Night Live in late 2008 boosted her<br />

career in the US. The episode, which<br />

included an expected appearance by<br />

then US vice-presidential candidate<br />

Sarah Palin, earned the program its best<br />

ratings in 14 years with 17 million<br />

viewers.<br />

West Norwood is the subject for Adele’s<br />

first record, “Hometown Glory”, which<br />

she wrote and composed in 2004, when<br />

she was 16.<br />

An appearance she<br />

made on Saturday<br />

Night Live in late 2008<br />

boosted her career in<br />

the US.<br />

At the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in 2009,<br />

Adele received the awards for Best New<br />

Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal<br />

Performance.<br />

Adele released her second studio album, 21,<br />

in early 2011.<br />

The album has been certified 16 times<br />

platinum in the UK, and is the fourth bestselling<br />

album in the UK of all time.<br />

She is the first woman in the history of the<br />

Billboard Hot 100 to have three<br />

simultaneous top 10 singles as a lead artist.<br />

She is the first female artist to<br />

simultaneously have two albums in the top<br />

five of the Billboard 200 and two singles in<br />

the top five of the Billboard Hot 100.<br />

21 is the longest-running number one<br />

album by a female solo artist in the history<br />

of the UK and US Album Charts.<br />

Adele released her third studio album, 25,<br />

in 2015. It became the year’s best-selling<br />

album and broke first week sales records in<br />

the UK and US.<br />

The lead single, “Hello”, became the first<br />

song in the US to sell over one million<br />

digital copies within a week of its release.<br />

PHOTO: DANNY KAAN<br />

Adele has cited the Spice Girls as a major<br />

influence in regard to her love and passion for<br />

music, stating that, "they made me what I am<br />

today".<br />

While “Someone like You” was at number one<br />

on the US chart, Adele's previous single,<br />

"Rolling in the Deep" was still at number four.<br />

With that achievement, Adele became the first<br />

living artist since The Beatles in 1964, who<br />

simultaneously had two top five hits in the<br />

charts.<br />

Adele is one of four female artists to have an<br />

album chart at number one for more than 13<br />

weeks (the other three artists being Judy<br />

Garland, Carole King, and Whitney Houston).<br />

In July 2012, Adele was listed at number six in<br />

Forbes list of the world's highest-paid<br />

celebrities under the age of 30, having earned<br />

£23 million ($35 million) between May 2011 and<br />

May 2012.<br />

She has 5 tattoos: two on her left wrist, one on<br />

each hand, and one behind her right ear.<br />

ELECTRONIC DUO FROM<br />

MONTREAL<br />

Beat Market is college friends<br />

Louis-Joseph Cliche and Max<br />

Bellavance. In their Montreal hometown,<br />

these two fill rooms with fans eager to<br />

experience a set locally revered for both<br />

its rock energy and dancefloor appeal.<br />

Their goal: to bring electronic music<br />

to a live setting where they could<br />

express themselves as<br />

true musicians.<br />

We had a chance to talk about<br />

performing Live, first show,<br />

new LP, goals, fans and baths...<br />

<strong>TMN</strong><br />

How did you guys first meet, and how did<br />

you come up with the name? 2013, is that<br />

about when it all started for you?<br />

We first met while jamming in the same jazz<br />

class at the University of Montreal. We<br />

launched our first EP in 2011. The name Beat<br />

Market comes from an idea of rhythms and<br />

repetitive patterns that make people move.<br />

Do you remember the first song you guys<br />

did together?<br />

Kristel on the Red Magic album. The drum was<br />

the first instrument we recorded, it was a weird<br />

jam at first, but it soon became one of our<br />

favorite song! Even to this day…<br />

How would you describe your sound and style<br />

for someone who may not have heard of you?<br />

Electronic dance music, performed live. Analog<br />

keyboards, live drums and beat machines operated<br />

by two long-haired dudes.<br />

Favorite city for each of you to perform in?<br />

Louis-Jo: New-York, a city with such a wild<br />

energy!<br />

Max: London, for obvious reasons. Electronic<br />

music is a second nature to these guys! You can<br />

hear some pretty edgy music on the radio over<br />

there, which would be unthinkable in Montreal.<br />

When we go there, we’re definitely speaking the<br />

same language as them!<br />

2 5 I N T E R V I E W


What is the electronic music scene like in<br />

Montreal? How does it compare to the U.S.? Have<br />

the U.S. fans been receptive to your music?<br />

Montreal is a great city for all kinds of arts. It is really<br />

open to new things. It’s true that we have less of a<br />

population there than in most major cities, so I guess<br />

the market is really smaller in a way. Canadian<br />

Electronic music is starting to make its way into the<br />

world, with acts such as Caribou, Grimes, Kaytranada,<br />

Pomo etc… We’ve only played one show in the US, in<br />

New York. We will be playing our first shows in Los<br />

Angeles in January. Let’s see what people think of our<br />

music at that time! The L.A. scene is really cool, so<br />

we’re not too worried, though.<br />

Who are some other producers or musicians that<br />

you look up to? Producer or artist you'd like to<br />

work with?<br />

We have to mention Mr.Oizo. His beats and his visuals<br />

inspire us a lot. We actually like all the French touch<br />

scene! We also like Flying Lotus, Kaytranada etc…<br />

What are your fans going to be surprised<br />

to hear you listening to in your car?<br />

Traditional Pakistani music, African music<br />

What are your goals moving forward?<br />

Beat Market is all about performing live<br />

shows and we want to be more present on the<br />

US market. So I guess we will play a lot of<br />

shows in the future year over there. Also, we<br />

started to work with singers and the results<br />

are excellent, we’re currently collaborating<br />

more and more with vocalists and always<br />

looking for new and fresh voices. Our last<br />

single, “Turn Your Colors On,” is a<br />

collaboration with the New York band French<br />

Horn Rebellion. England and Germany are<br />

also part of the plan in the next few years.<br />

Tell us about your first show. What was that like?<br />

We had our lighted space ranger suits. We actually<br />

only remember the next morning….regaining<br />

consciousness in a bush near the bar we played….<br />

You have a new single with “the silken R&B croon<br />

of guest star Malika Tirolien” "Doors." How did<br />

that come about?<br />

Montreal is a small music scene, Malika played a<br />

couple of times with Max and we though it would<br />

be great to collaborate. We were pleasantly<br />

surprised that she chose the song Doors, a long<br />

electro track, moodier than some of our funkier<br />

beats like See What I Mean (ft. Aiza)<br />

If someone wants to find out more about<br />

EDMbiz where should they go?<br />

Facebook is probably the best and fastest way<br />

to learn more about EDMbiz, also Reddit etc…<br />

How active are the both of you in<br />

interacting with interacting with your fan<br />

on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook?<br />

We actually love the fact that we have a team<br />

to deal with those things. But when we have<br />

some funny adventures, we post it.<br />

Any message you want to give to your fans and future<br />

fans out there? Or offer any services or offers of<br />

For an up-and-coming artist, producer or DJ, what one piece of<br />

advice you guys would give to someone wanting to break into the<br />

music business or to be that next big producer/DJ?<br />

"Try to find your<br />

own sound. If your<br />

music makes you<br />

happy, then you<br />

are on the right<br />

path. Someday it<br />

will work."<br />

CAMERON<br />

NINOby Jeremiah Foster<br />

We were recently<br />

Meet The<br />

Next<br />

Generation<br />

Artist<br />

Cameron<br />

Nino<br />

introduced to a young<br />

musician - CAMERON<br />

NINO, who is making an<br />

impressionable mark in<br />

the music industry.<br />

29<br />

At the young age of 13, CAMERON<br />

NINO is currently the lead vocalist<br />

and guitarist for Seventh Nova – a<br />

Los Angeles based music project.<br />

Cameron finds inspiration in<br />

everything around him from nature<br />

to his friends & family, expressing<br />

himself in different genres of music,<br />

from Rock to Hip-Hop, making him a<br />

dynamic artist with a bright future.<br />

His first single, “On The Floor”, is<br />

available on iTunes, Amazon and<br />

Google, and is an exhilarating work.


INTRODUCING<br />

C<br />

AMERON<br />

NINO was born in Los Angeles, California on<br />

November 25, 2003.<br />

He is an outgoing, friendly and exuberant<br />

musician, breakout entertainer, recording artist,<br />

singer, songwriter, guitarist & producer who at<br />

13 years of age has performed on some large<br />

stages and entertained hundreds of people at<br />

festivals, private venues and clubs.<br />

To see Cameron perform is unlike<br />

any other experience as you will<br />

forget his age as you remain<br />

fixated and thrilled by his energy<br />

and enthusiasm.<br />

As we spoke with him, it became<br />

evident that Cameron is a<br />

philanthropist at heart and puts<br />

his convictions into action by<br />

seeking out and helping<br />

organizations that serve people in<br />

need. His empathy for people in<br />

general is quite remarkable for a<br />

person his age. He recently<br />

donated a significant sum to<br />

an organization that serves<br />

children in Kenya, and had<br />

previously donated his time and<br />

talent to other organizations that<br />

serve children in the United<br />

States. His current single is<br />

dedicated to one of these<br />

organizations, and any proceeds<br />

from the song will be donated<br />

to that organization.<br />

Cameron also talked at length about<br />

sustainable practices and lifestyles, citing<br />

electric vehicles as a step in the right<br />

direction. In his song, he talks about "rolling<br />

down the strip with a Tesla grip", in<br />

reference to the auto manufacturer. His<br />

first song – “Back in the Day”, which was<br />

written in 2011, discusses the environment<br />

at length. In that song, he advised that<br />

people should "live like back in the day<br />

when Dinosaurs roamed the earth". In that<br />

song, he continues on rapping: “Don’t live<br />

black, live green.”<br />

At the 2013 event, Cameron Nino and<br />

his band did covers of The Beatles,<br />

Bob Marley, Black Sabbath and Bon<br />

Jovi, an eclectic mix that had the<br />

audience riveted as he went from<br />

playing his acoustic guitar to<br />

shredding Tony Iommi's solo on Iron<br />

Man while singing Ozzie's lines.<br />

So, we wanted to know how he got started<br />

with music. Cameron revealed to us that in<br />

2012, while volunteering at the pastries and<br />

sweets booth at the Blessed Sacrament<br />

Carnival and Food Festival, he was asked if<br />

he wanted to go on stage and play the Star<br />

Spangled Banner on his acoustic guitar. He<br />

had just learned the song about a week<br />

before the event. He agreed to do so. He<br />

enjoyed the experience a lot. In 2013, the<br />

Carnival organizers invited him back. This<br />

time, a group of musicians was assembled<br />

to perform with him at the event. The group<br />

met for the first time on October 15, 2013 to<br />

begin rehearsing for the event. The event<br />

was a huge success, with the then unnamed<br />

group getting a prolonged ovation from the<br />

attendees. Ever since then, the organizers of<br />

the event have continued to invite Cameron<br />

Nino and his band Seventh Nova to perform<br />

every year.<br />

31<br />

In early 2014, Cameron Nino caught the<br />

attention of John Branca, one of the<br />

founders of Club 42<br />

(www.club42online.com), a sports nonprofit<br />

that provides opportunities for<br />

inner city youth to compete in Baseball at<br />

the same level as their peers in more<br />

affluent neighborhoods. Shortly after he<br />

caught Mr. Branca's attention, in April of<br />

2014, Johnny 'Buc' Lockwood, one of the<br />

co-founders of Club 42 invited Cameron<br />

to lead their effort in creating a mashup<br />

of select Michael Jackson and The Beatles<br />

songs. The resultant work was titled "All<br />

My People - A Tribute to Michael Jackson<br />

and The Beatles." This body of work is<br />

available on Soundcloud. Cameron's<br />

participation with Club 42 as a guest at<br />

their basketball tournaments afforded<br />

him the opportunity to meet and mingle<br />

with kids from inner city communities,<br />

an opportunity that he would never have<br />

had having spent his entire life in Laurel<br />

Canyon.<br />

David Banks Opens Up About his<br />

childhood, favorite projects, what<br />

makes him laugh and more…<br />

exclusive<br />

"that weird<br />

guy in that<br />

one movie"


What a pleasure it<br />

was to interview David<br />

Banks, who currently stars<br />

alongside Heather Graham in<br />

the film Half Magic, which will be<br />

in theaters early 2017.<br />

Banks has starred in over 100 national commercials<br />

in roles that include leading man, boyfriend, father and<br />

the regular guy/common man...<br />

David studied and performed at The Groundlings in Los Angeles,<br />

whose alumni includes John Lovitz, Will Farrell, Chris Katan, and Lisa<br />

Kudrow.<br />

David was recently selected to join Lisa Kudrow, Janeane Garofalo,<br />

and Fred Willard in the new cartoon Lovesick Fool, directed by<br />

Dominic Polcino (The Simpsons, Family Guy, and<br />

King of the Hill).<br />

David is also a writer and co-wrote the film<br />

CUT!<br />

Even with his crazy schedule, David<br />

was kind enough to interview<br />

with me.<br />

You’re really going<br />

to enjoy this<br />

talented<br />

guy!<br />

"MUSIC HAS<br />

ALWAYS<br />

BEEN SUCH<br />

A BIG PART<br />

OF MY LIFE"<br />

Tell us about your childhood. Describe your<br />

behavior as a child. Were you the class clown,<br />

or were you the "good boy"?<br />

Well I was that kid dressed in all black. I hate to<br />

use the word Emo but I had a fully stocked<br />

closet of Iron Maiden and Ozzy Osbourne shirts<br />

[LAUGHS] I wasn't the kid leading my fellow boy<br />

scouts to camp.<br />

I didn't really break out of my shy shell until my<br />

final year of high school. I remember a few of<br />

my class mates asking me who I was and when<br />

did I transfer here? I'm like wait......Does a<br />

haircut and a sweater make that much of a<br />

difference? [LAUGHS]<br />

How did you get into acting? Who/what<br />

motivated you to do so?<br />

I will never forget growing up in good old<br />

Petaluma California and watching my classmate<br />

Winona Ryder, then Horowitz who was equally<br />

as dark and Goth as I was and how amazing she<br />

was in drama class. I not only knew she was<br />

going to be huge, but I knew this was also<br />

something I wanted to do. I also remember one<br />

of my teachers Mr Reischling telling me I would<br />

be lucky to be able to hold a job at McDonalds<br />

[LAUGHS] I have always worked better when<br />

someone tells me I CAN'T do something.<br />

Do you have more fun with acting or<br />

music?<br />

Music has always been such a big part<br />

of my life. It truly feeds the soul. I look<br />

forward to getting up on stage with my<br />

band as often as possible and breaking<br />

a few sticks in the process. I try to also<br />

catch at least one live show a month. I<br />

say this as I grab my jean jacket and<br />

head out the door to go see<br />

Queensryche and Armored Saint<br />

tonight! There is no better feeling than<br />

walking out of a concert and watching<br />

a band I grew up listening to on<br />

cassette tapes. Oops I think I just aged<br />

myself [LAUGHS]<br />

40


What have been your<br />

favorite projects so far?<br />

I have the most fun when I<br />

can be as irritating and as<br />

obnoxious as I possibly can.<br />

I think I feel more at home<br />

with that. I remember<br />

hearing a quote from Dane<br />

Cook saying "bring as much<br />

as your own personality as<br />

you can to your work" Not<br />

that I'm like that all the<br />

time, but I'm not saying I<br />

don't have a collection of<br />

videos of me scaring my<br />

girlfriend on my cell phone<br />

[LAUGHS] OK I admit it, I'm<br />

pretty annoying.<br />

One of my favorite projects<br />

so far is a film called 5th of<br />

July with Jaleel White. I play<br />

a high strung, goofy cop<br />

that follows him around<br />

and makes his life a living<br />

hell.<br />

How's it feel to finally be in<br />

the spotlight?<br />

I still like to be in the back<br />

with a dimly lit flickering<br />

light. I have never set out to<br />

be super famous. I have<br />

always said I will be the<br />

happiest being "that weird<br />

guy in that one movie"<br />

What makes you laugh the<br />

most?<br />

I'm a huge fan of the whole<br />

physical "over the top"<br />

comedy. Airplane, Top<br />

Secret, Threes Company,<br />

Gilligans Island, I think Don<br />

Knotts is my hero! I<br />

remember practicing his<br />

faces in the mirror as a<br />

child.<br />

"I HAVE NEVER<br />

SET OUT TO BE<br />

SUPER FAMOUS"<br />

What's been your most<br />

rewarding/interesting on-set<br />

experiences so far?<br />

I remember booking a pilot<br />

called "What Would Trejo Do"<br />

Again my character was an odd<br />

fast talking type of guy. I had<br />

met the director Kevin Donovan<br />

on a previous commercial shoot<br />

and was able to work with him<br />

again on this pilot which was a<br />

real blessing. He is extremely<br />

talented and has a clear vision of<br />

what he wants, but also allowed<br />

us all to bring our own flavor<br />

and flair to the role. The pilot<br />

was just picked up, so to be able<br />

to see this come to fruition was a<br />

real gift. The cast is amazing!<br />

Danny Trejo, Clifton Collins Jr,<br />

Jason Mewes, Donal Logue, and<br />

Jacob Vargas.


If you could co-star in a<br />

feature with any actor who<br />

would it be?<br />

Ellen Burstyn! Everything she<br />

does is absolutely authentic in<br />

every way. I will never forget<br />

watching Requiem for a Dream<br />

and leaving the theater in tears.<br />

She steals each and every scene<br />

with just her eyes! I could watch<br />

her read the phone book and be<br />

entertained.<br />

What's a typical day for you on<br />

set? What's your favorite thing<br />

to do to pass the time?<br />

I will most likely be at the craft<br />

service table hogging the coffee<br />

or waiting for the next snack to<br />

be brought out. I will never be<br />

that guy taking pictures of my<br />

food and posting it since I'm too<br />

busy devouring it.<br />

Lately to pass the time I have been<br />

watching classic MTV 80's videos<br />

online. Anytime I can go back and<br />

recapture a memory from my<br />

childhood from a certain song I am<br />

on it!<br />

What is it like to work with<br />

Heather Graham?<br />

I know actors say this all the time,<br />

but she was seriously one of the<br />

greatest actors I have ever worked<br />

with. Her talent and gift for<br />

comedy is such a wonderful thing<br />

to be around. She wrote and<br />

directed this film "Half Magic" Was<br />

I nervous? YES? Did the sound guy<br />

tell me he could hear my heart<br />

beating through the mic taped to<br />

my chest? YES? [LAUGHS] It's<br />

always a little difficult working<br />

with someone you had a little<br />

crush on. But her laugh definitely<br />

helped bring me back down to the<br />

not so nervous land.<br />

What's next for you?<br />

I'm sort of addicted to<br />

working and staying busy<br />

but I'm really looking<br />

forward to shutting off my<br />

ADHD brain and spending<br />

the Holidays with my<br />

family. A table full of turkey<br />

and cherry pies is always a<br />

great excuse!<br />

classic look that is very<br />

easy to wear. It<br />

practically goes good<br />

with anything! You can<br />

do no wrong with a<br />

black dress or black<br />

outfit. If your plans<br />

include something<br />

more formal,<br />

something a little<br />

longer than a mini<br />

would work well. But<br />

for sure, black dresses<br />

are best!<br />
