NY Weekly Staff on August 9, 2021

Anyone can dream of becoming a world-class model, but not everyone who tries actually makes it. The modeling industry is one of the most competitive and toughest sectors to penetrate, no matter how good-looking people may think they are. There are some people, however, who are fortunate enough to be handpicked by the right person at the right time at the right place. Lifestyle, print, and commercial model Tyler Parker is one lucky star to have been discovered on social media without having to go through the challenges of auditioning in order to get a break with some of the biggest brands in the world today. Well aware that there are so many others out there who are still struggling in their journey, he is putting together an ebook that intends to help aspiring models strategize their way to success.

After being discovered by an agent at the age of 20, Tyler Parker did memorable campaigns for some of the biggest names in the business world, including ASOS, Siksilk, TargetTag, and Cricket Wireless. His experience working with these campaigns gave him a good perspective of the industry he entered, allowing him to understand further how the business truly works. His ebook will contain important tips on how to get signed, what agents/agencies to look for, tips on modeling, and tips on how to grow one’s social media platform. As a way to connect with other models, he launched his YouTube channel called TylerP TV, where he shares his life as a model, professional barber, his vlog, and tattoo stories as well.

Tyler Parker has this to say to everyone who is experiencing discouragement in their attempt to build a modeling career. “It doesn’t matter where you come from. You can still do it no matter what. Nothing’s impossible. It might be unthinkable for people around you, but it’s not impossible. You can do it. Just put your mind to it and believe then you’ll prevail. Nothing and no one can stop you. Have faith in God and yourself.”

Apart from his upcoming ebook and YouTube channel, the Hammond, Louisiana-raised model is always finding ways to connect with people who wish to build a serious modeling career and are willing to work hard for it. His personal passion for helping others inspired him to launch his own workshops that are designed to empower young entrepreneurs and models to boost their brands. By leveraging the power of social media, Tyler Parker believes that everyone has a neutral ground where they can harness the far-reaching abilities of these platforms to promote their brands.

By providing hands-on learning opportunities, he equips his clients with effective strategies and tested and proven approaches in marketing that are guaranteed to generate phenomenal results. His focus and personal discipline enable him to wear several hats despite his busy schedule. Tyler Parker believes in the value of creating a balanced lifestyle, one that also allows him to do what he is most passionate about: helping others.

As he continues to focus on steadily growing his modeling career, people can expect to see more of him in the coming years. And as he continues to grow professionally, he only hopes that others will be inspired by his accomplishments to chase their dreams as well.

Kid Lit Music Champions LGBTQI+ Issues Through His Rhymes and Verses

NY Weekly Staff on August 9, 2021

Born in Brooklyn, New York to Caribbean immigrants, Kid Lit Music is a successful singer/songwriter and music producer. He grew up attending church and began his musical journey when he was recruited to sing for several renowned gospel choirs and singing groups. Living in an immigrant community that proved to be unwelcoming to LGBTQI+ spaces, Kid Lit Music spent a large portion of his childhood and adolescent life in the closet.

When Kid Lit Music began attending Vanderbilt University, he still kept his sexuality a secret; but he tapped into more of his musical genius. He lent his voice as a background vocalist for Weetu and the Truth, a local band in Nashville, TN. Selected as the winner of Vanderbilt’s Battle of the Bands, Kid Lit Music sang as an opening act for Pharrell, N.E.R.D., rapper TI, Santigold, and Q-Tip. After graduating from Vanderbilt, Kid Lit Music pursued a career in sales and invested in his musical production career.

With a professional background in music production, writing and background vocals, Kid Lit Music released his highly anticipated album Litty Kitty Volume 1 in 2018. Following the critical acclaim and success of this project, Kid Lit Music released the 2nd volume in 2020. Thousands of streams later, he has made his mark on all ages, races, genders and classes. Kid Lit Music dreams of collaborating with Azealia Banks, Pharrell WIlliams, Missy Elliott, Tyler, The Creator and Channel Tres.

Community, perseverance, love and acceptance are just a few of the messages that can be found in Kid Lit Music’s body of work. A modern musician with an apt for fashion and entertainment, Kid Lit Music encourages his listeners to be boldly and unforgivably true to themselves.

Freedom of expression and authenticity can both be heard in Kid Lit Music’s latest release, “LGBTQI.” Kid Lit created this track in response to the controversial hate speech that rapper Da Baby shouted at the Miami edition of Rolling Loud. Kid Lit says, “I was physically at Rolling Loud. When I saw all the press surrounding the comments Da Baby made, I was infuriated and knew I had to speak out against and educate those who supported these dangerous statements.”

Kid Lit Music expresses his Black queer male sexuality on his terms. He proudly calls himself a “butch queen,” definitively a gay male who is neither extremely masculine nor extremely feminine, but has the mannerisms of both. Kid Lit Music explains, “I want society to be able to embrace every letter of the gay alphabet. It is important we live our lives in authenticity and avoid shaming those who want to live in their truth.”

Brittney Seebeck Is a Refreshing Addition to the World of Magic

NY Weekly Staff on August 9, 2021

The world of magic is an exciting and breathtaking realm to explore with its illusions, colors, and remarkable ability to bring out the inner child among its audiences. Many have tried their luck in magic to entertain audiences, but very few develop the patience necessary to master the trade. Brittney Seebeck is one of the few lady magicians who dared to venture into the unknown to bring joy and amazement to the lives of people.

The 27-year-old magician has been honing her skills for as long as she can remember. Her deep interest in magic has fuelled her desire to become one of the best in the craft, being able to perform impressive tricks that she taught herself over time. While the journey may be challenging at times, Brittney Seebeck remains highly motivated as she is the first person to enjoy her own tricks. From juggling to deck reviews and all sorts of familiar magic tricks viewers have enjoyed since their childhood, she is able to give a new spin to it, making it look like people are watching it for the first time.

The dedicated magician first posted a card trick on her YouTube channel nine years ago. Much to her surprise, the video generated more than 35k views. Two years later, she posted a straight jacket escape video, much like the one many have seen David Copperfield do in the 1980s.

This year, Brittney Seebeck is determined to make a lasting connection with fans of magic through her YouTube channel. In the past months, she has mastered several awe-inspiring tricks, from the torn and restored card trick to the torn and restored thread, coin through a full water bottle, prediction magic trick, and multiplying bottles. If anything, it is quite evident that she has been working hard at elevating her skills to attract people who wish to be entertained. At a time like this, when a great number of people are struggling with their mental health due to the pandemic, she has effectively found a way to capture their hearts and interest. If only for a brief moment, Brittney Seebeck aspires to make them forget how tough times are today.

Apart from her passion for magic, she is also skilled in solving puzzles, a hobby that not everyone has the patience to do. More interesting is her fondness for solving Rubik’s Cubes. As most people would know, the Rubrics Cube can be a very tricky and frustrating piece of learning tool. Those who have been patient enough to study the science behind it, however, have developed a fancy for solving even harder combinations. Brittney Seebeck is one of those who remain passionate about Rubik’s Cubes.

As an emerging and thriving lady magician, she is out to make a name for herself in the industry without relying on anyone else to make her famous. At the end of the day, she believes that it is her skill and dedication that will define her career in the entertainment industry.
