Hey there! Long time no post... probably because I've been deathly sick lately, and just came back from getting an extra-long Q-Tip shoved down my throat to see if I have strep throat. Doctors are always fun.
Anyways, I've been listening/watching/reading about some fantastic people who are becoming super successful as of late, so I thought why not give you a list of some amazing people you should know about before they're crazy famous? Without further ado, here is a list filled with some some SERIOUS talent:
- PAINT
Thing they do: YouTuber
Age: 22
Why you should love them: This guy is basically already famous, but I thought I'd add him here anyways. You've probably already watched at least one of this guy's videos, or have had one of his songs stuck in your head. PAINT (also known as Jon Cozart) is the creator of the absolutely hilarious (and kind of bizarre) After Ever After videos where he basically predicts what happened to all our favourite Disney princesses after "Happily Ever After". Cool, right? You also might recognize another one of his popular videos, Harry Potter in 99 Seconds. You had that entire song memorized at one point in your life. Don't lie to yourself.
- NerdyAndQuirky
Thing they do: YouTuber
Age: 16
Why you should love them: She’s only 16 years old, but Sabrina has the class and comedic timing of someone twice her age. Her videos are totally relatable to your typical everyday fangirl, with clips like How To Attract Human, An Honest Introduction to Jogging, and even How to Take Care of a Fangirl. If you’re a fan of the Vlogbrothers (NERDFIGHTERS!), you might remember when she made a video for their channel when John was on leave. If you like your YouTubers young, and your sarcasm, well, sarcastic, Sabrina is your girl.
- Hannah Alper
Thing they do: Blogger/Activist/Motivational speaker
Age: 11
Why you should love them: I’m only going to say this once, people, so listen up. HANNAH ALPER IS GOING TO RULE THE WORLD SOME DAY. Got that? Good. Here’s the thing: this girl is 11 years old, and is already paving her way to global domination. I saw her when she spoke at Free the Children’s We Day in Calgary last month, and she’s so driven. She also spoke at a TEDx event (I can give you the link if you want) about “finding your spark”, where she talked a lot about what inspired her to start making a difference. Her blog has reached thousands of youth, and has empowered them to make a difference. She’s now a Free the Children ambassador and is also the JUNO Awards (if you live under a rock, the Junos are basically the Canadian equivalent to the Grammys) eco-blogger. Talk about girl power!
- Virginia to Vegas (VIIV)
Thing they do: Musician
Age: 24
Why you should love them: I’ve seen Derik Baker (a.k.a. VIIV) live twice, and i’m unashamed to say I bawled my eyes out both times, because his music is just THAT beautiful. His debut EP, Volume 1, is on iTunes, and it’s definitely worth checking out. His music is harder to describe than you might think - it’s too classy to be pop, but it can’t really be anything else. Nonetheless, his talent is unstoppable and this guy is going to go far. I mean, he’s 24 and has already mastered the love song. Case in point: Colourful. He’s currently opening up for Alyssa Reid on her Time Bomb tour, but I’m hoping he’ll be doing a headliner very soon! (EDIT: he's also so attractive it isn't even fair. #ladyboner #justsaying)
So that's it for this week...if there are any more people on their way to global domination, let me know in the comments, or tweet me at @teenqueenblog!
All my love,
the Teenage Queen
