Emerging International Music Artist Ana Ochoa Shows a Lot of Promise

NY Weekly Staff on August 5, 2022

Rising international singer, songwriter, music producer, multi-instrumentalist, and sound engineer from Colombia Ana Ochoa is turning heads in the music industry with her debut single “Listen,” which she describes as an invitation to fight for one’s dreams. She is not only aspiring to be well-known for her pop or Latin music that has a soulful vibe to it, but she also intends to be a voice of her generation and inspire others to speak up and be heard. 

Though it may sound cliché, she hopes to motivate her fans to stay connected to the inner child within them, someone full of wonder and dreams. A lot of adults tend to forget about their childhood dreams when they come of age, and Ana wants to bring them back to that time when they believed in the power of their dreams enough to try something different despite the odds. To witness people see things with childlike eyes and wonder anew are things she hopes to ignite among her fans.

“Through the years, I realized that there’s something else I can do besides being behind the curtains. I realized that my voice as an artist is stronger than my voice as an engineer or as a producer. Singing on stage, sharing my stories, giving a voice that can amplify other people’s stories, feelings and experiences, makes me find my happy place, and makes me feel that it is where I’m supposed to be,” Ana explained.

Prior to launching her personal brand as a must artist, Ana has been around the music industry long enough to know what the business demands from people like her who aspire to make it big. Over the past years, she used her various experiences as a sound engineer, singer, and songwriter to enhance her skills and knowledge of the different aspects of building a solid music career. She also likes connecting with different people who have the potential to influence her craft positively. At the end of the day, leveraging existing technologies today and marketing tools to translate ideas and stories into admirable music projects make Ana one of the most promising voices in the business today. 

“There is something special when you meet with people from other countries, cultures, backgrounds, and disciplines. When you share your ideas and learn to listen, adapt and transform, the world opens up to many possibilities. Your knowledge, craft and ideas go to another level. I believe that we are all colors waiting to be used to paint a beautiful piece of art or pieces on a puzzle that together create a wonderful picture. So, why should we miss that opportunity,” she shared. 

The Colombia-born and raised music artist started performing music at a very young age. In her pre-teens, she got hooked on the world of DJs and music production. By the time she turned 17, she had started her degree in Sound Engineering at Universidad de San Buenaventura. She had the privilege to meet and work closely with award-winning producers, bands, and sound engineers like Diego Amorocho, Le Big Sur, Mauricio Cano, and Gabriel Rodríguez. In 2017 she enrolled in EMMAT, the Colombian affiliate of the famous Berklee College of Music, where she studied Contemporary Music. In 2020, Ana enrolled at Full Sail University, where she pursued a Master’s Degree in Entertainment Business. 

Ana has a podcast titled “Selva Sonora,” which she created with her good friend and mentor, Diego Amorocho, a well-respected music composer, producer, and singer. The podcast highlights inspiring stories and experiences in the music industries of Latin America and the United States. The hosts also discuss their general knowledge of the music industry in their episodes. 

Now based in Florida, Ana is expected to create waves in the US music industry as she expresses her musicality and artistry to bring inspiration to as many people as possible. 

Drew Lines Cements Name With Latest Remix, Shares Inspiring Journey on Pursuing His Passion

NY Weekly Staff on August 5, 2022

Born Andrew D. Wold on December 27th, 1984, Drew Lines is making waves in the music industry as a rapidly rising hip hop artist and songwriter. Currently based in Oconto Falls, Wisconsin, with his family, Drew officially became the first hip hop artist signed by Stryker Records, a label known for releasing rock music. With years of experience in the music scene, the artist aims to put Stryker Records on the map of the hip-hop genre while simultaneously cementing his legacy in the industry. His latest remix, “15 Minutes of Fame,” was launched on March 11th, produced by Malcolm Springer and Scott Wilson at the House of Blues Studio in Nashville, featuring Scotty Austin and Jason Null. 

Drew creates music that inspires people to be themselves. Since the age of 13, his passion was writing poems, even when he was in prison, some of which have been published, such as his award-winning poem called “Rose,” which was recognized by The International Poets Society. But his years of pursuing his talent were coupled with challenges. He shared that for many years, he wandered aimlessly in search of himself. Still, despite the obstacles, Drew fought through his battles and handled the cards he was dealt with.

Before finding his way into the music scene as one of today’s thriving hip-hop powerhouses, he recalls his time behind bars with his friend, Antwon Evens Jr., who witnessed how he nurtured his talent despite the odds. Eventually, he found the melodies for his poems and turned them into music. “I would actually sing at night while we laid in our bunks at lights out. Two people from different worlds, but in the same breath, a similar struggle. Eventually, I picked up a pen, just a little 3-inch rubber tube with an ink tube and tip, and started writing on my yellow legal pad. I wrote so damn much that I would get lost in the pages,” he shared.

Drew also shared that the music industry is such a cutthroat landscape that one cannot avoid losing a bit of oneself in the process. He experienced feeling overwhelmed by it all at some point and said that the road to becoming an artist is not for the faint of heart as there are people who would take an artist for granted, and it is not easy to find genuine people who will be on your side. But Drew has found his own intimate circle he trusts, and it has made his music journey less daunting. 

“This music life isn’t for the weak ones or the quitters. You are going to fall and fail away more than you will win. My life, my struggles, my trials and tribulations molded me. I’ve been through enough to know that everything finds a way to work itself out,” Drew explained. “If you’re trying to grow something new, fresh, real, you can’t just plant the seed on top of what’s there or has been there. You have to clean out the roots, give whatever is going to be new a fighting chance. Things don’t happen because they are supposed to. They happen because they were meant to happen. That’s how I’ve been learning to live, to rebuild myself. To really make a change, in life, your relationships, your job, music, whatever, you examine every bit of yourself and the situation all the way to the root of each. There’s always time to learn. It’s not always easy, you will not always win, but you will always have the ability to learn,” the hip-hop artist said.

Lily Jang Describes How She Helps Her Clients Find Their Dream Home in Houston

NY Weekly Staff on August 5, 2022

Lily Jang, a top-producing licensed real estate agent, has a name that rings bells throughout the Houston area. Known for her charismatic personality and extensive knowledge of the real estate industry, she continuously works with various clients with all different preferences. Knowing that every client has their own needs, she works closely with each person, learning much more about them to help them with their real estate wants and needs. While continuing to help people find their dream homes and sell the properties they no longer want to live in, Lily is sharing how she manages to get it all done.

“After working in journalism for more than two decades, I decided to spend more time getting involved in real estate. My experience in journalism and working around people helped me learn the value of making a connection with someone when they hire you to do a job. When clients reach out to me because they want to find a place to live or sell their property, I want to know more about them, and I want them to know I’m in their corner to help them when they need it,” shared Lily Jang. “Instead of taking on too many clients at once, I like to work with a set number of clients to give them the attention they need and deserve. It gives me more time to build a solid working relationship with them, whether they can gain trust in me and know that I’m guiding them in the right direction of the home buying or selling process.”

Knowing that investing in a home is, by far, the biggest emotional investment anyone can make, Lily is well aware of how important it is to get things right for her clients. Although buying and selling are often frustrating and time-consuming processes, she relieves a lot of the stress while keeping her clients well-informed of every step they’ll need to take to seal the deal.

“I’m very consistent with my work. I pay attention to newly listed homes and on the market to ensure that I have options my clients can look at based on their preferences, whether they want two bedrooms, four bedrooms, lots of land, or anything else. I know a lot about the Houston area and the different neighborhoods, so I like to provide this information to my clients if they need it, intending to help them decide on a home that is perfect for them,” said Lily Jang. “I think one of the reasons it’s become easier for me to help my clients find their dream homes or sell without so much stress is that I keep my clients well-informed, and I’m easy to reach. I want them to know they can contact me when they need help, and I’ll be there to assist them! When you put the clients first, prioritizing their wants and needs, you can achieve a great outcome.”

Having recently filmed a documentary on achieving her American Dream, Lily Jang is living her best life as a leading light in the real estate industry. Despite traveling to different states across the country while working as a journalist, she’s now a full-time resident of Houston, helping people find their place to call home in the area.

Exploring Visa Options For Immigration To Canada

NY Weekly Staff on August 5, 2022

Canada is known for being a welcoming recipient of immigrants and still plans on to welcome over 1.3 million new immigrants between 2022 and 2024. There are many ways for you to immigrate to Canada, however, we explain a few of these options here. 

Immigration to Canada is not easy and involves many steps to successfully get your application accepted. LCC immigration consultant in Toronto guides you here on how to move to Canada through working, studying, or spouses who are permanent residents. 

Express Entry Program

There is a Canadian Immigration Program that allows immigrants to live and work in Canada as skilled workers through Express Entry. This system allows Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) to pro-actively assess, recruit, and select immigrants who possess skills or relevant qualifications under federal economic immigration programs such as:

  • Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP)
  • The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP)
  • The Canadian Experience Class (CEC)

Through the Express Entry program, individual provinces and territories recruit suitable candidates as part of the Provincial Nominee Programs that help in meeting the labour market demands. It is one of Canada’s popular programs that can help you with your immigration application. 

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)

It is a province’s economic immigration program that works in partnership with the Government of Canada through Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Whether you are a student, someone in search for a job in Canada, or anyone with the right skills, experiences, and education, you become eligible to apply to the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program. However, the Government of Canada makes the final decision of approving applicants for permanent residence. In case of a student you can meet the study visa consultant at LCC immigration to know more about the process.  

Spousal Sponsorship Visa

Family reunification is cornerstone of Canada’s immigration policy. Therefore, your spouse can sponsor you as long as they are a permanent resident of Canada. Spousal sponsoships are given priority. However, the sponsor has to sign an undertaking that guarantees to take responsibility for the sponsored person. The undertaking document is a contract between the sponsor and the CIC that mentions that the sponsor is to repay the government for any social assistance payments to the sponsored person. 

LMIA Work Visa

Some of the applicants for immigration first acquire Canadian job offers, apply for a work visa, and then immigrate to Canada on that basis. The LMIA helps in securing a job offer, having the employer apply for an LMIA. The applicant then applies for the work permit after LMIA is approved. Although it is a very challenging process, it can lead to Canadian permanent residence.

Canadian Investor Immigration

This category is designed for high-net-worth individuals who have experience in owning or managing businesses overseas. The experienced business people investing in the Canadian economy contribute to Canada’s overall growth and prosperity. There are two investor programs in Canada: The Federal Investor Program and the Quebec program. The programs resemble slightly and require that the applicants have a high net worth and make a significant investment in an approved investment fund for a 5-year period. The Investor immigrants are allowed to bring their spouses and children as dependents on their applications.

You can contact LCC Immigration to get all the help and assistance to make your immigration process easier and smoother. 

World TradeX Looks to the Gulf for Opportunity

NY Weekly Staff on August 5, 2022

World TradeX announced they are considering moving their headquarters to the Gulf. It is unclear as of yet what state specifically World TradeX has its eye’s on. Some speculate Texas as a lot of Tech companies found them favorable including Tesla among others. However a source close to the founder mentioned Mississippi might be the one catching their eye. 

World TradeX executives were heard at a recent Wall Street Journal interview stating, “The Gulf presents clear untapped potential in numerous areas. Bringing quality high paying career oriented jobs in Technology, Logistics, Finance, and Global Trade to a strong dedicated employee base just makes sense. The centralized location of the port in middle America is an overlooked gem and the unsaturated port leaves wide berth for endless opportunities.”

World TradeX is a Global Commodities Trading Platform for the world’s food supply chain. They have created an integrated system that interweavers buying, selling, finance, and logistics into a simple easy to use singular platform. This satisfies a huge need globally that decentralizes farming enabling farmers big and small direct access to buyers around the world to sell their products. With the global agriculture production value at five trillion dollars this will be a company to watch.
