Coming from the gritty streets of Toronto, there is a new face on Florida’s music scene. The Youngest Flexer Alive, a prodigy in his own right, is turning heads and setting bars with his raw and unapologetic style.

His rise from an ambitious 14-year-old trap artist to becoming a prominent figure in the rap industry five years later is nothing short of an inspiration. However, his narrative isn’t just about success but a relentless hustle, an unflinching belief in his vision, and a commitment to staying independent.

“I started with nothing, man. Just a young kid from the block. I started with trap beats in my bedroom, dreaming about spitting fire on the big stage. Now I’m living those dreams,” Flexer recalls. Most importantly, he achieved all of that on his own – as an independent artist.

So what’s the big fuss about going independent, you might ask? Well, here’s the thing. Choosing to navigate the rap scene as an independent artist came with its set of challenges for Flexer. The decision meant forgoing financial stability and guaranteed promotional strategies provided by record labels.

I just couldn’t sign my art away to some corporate heads,” Flexer states adamantly. “Yeah, it’s tough doing it all solo. More struggles, more grind, but it’s worth it because in the end, every beat, every bar, it’s all me.”

Flexer’s dedication to his independent journey isn’t just about control over his music; it’s also about ensuring his story stays authentic. His tracks are filled with tales of the grind, late-night studio sessions, and the struggles behind success – raw, uncensored narratives that resonate with his fans worldwide.

“The industry will paint success all shiny, but I show the real,” Flexer asserts. “The struggle, the grind, the dark before the dawn. That’s what my music is about.”

Flexer’s commitment to his independent journey has served him well. Despite the challenges, he’s found success on his terms, racking up chart-topping hits and a massive fan base. His success as an independent artist is sweeter, knowing that he’s the mastermind behind his rise.

“No label can take credit for my success. It’s all me,” Flexer proclaims, the pride in his voice evident. “I built this from the ground up. No one can take that away from me.”

As he gears up to release more music, Flexer remains committed to his independent journey, focusing on delivering authentic narratives through his music.

“I ain’t about to change my style for nobody,” Flexer grins. “I’m doing this my way, on my terms. Stay tuned, ’cause I’m just getting started.”

In an industry often swayed by trends and labels, The Youngest Flexer Alive is making a name for himself by staying true to his vision and retaining control of his journey. His story is a testament to his talent and a tribute to his dedication, showing the world that success can be achieved on one’s own terms.

Creating the Audiences of Tomorrow: TheaterWorksUSA’s Journey of Inspiring and Engaging Young Minds

Artist Weekly Staff on July 26, 2023

For over 60 years, TheaterWorksUSA (TWUSA) has carved its path as a leading creator of family entertainment, captivating young audiences with remarkable theatrical experiences. Their upcoming world premiere of “Cat Kid Comic Club the Musical,” based on Dav Pilkey’s best-selling book series, is a testament to their commitment to inspiring and engaging children and families. I had the privilege of conversing with Barbara Pasternack, the Artistic Director of TheaterWorks USA, and Michael Harrington, the Executive Director, gaining insights into their approach and the significance of their work.

A recent New York Times article covered the struggle of theaters around the country to get their audiences back after Covid; Barbara Pasternack emphasizes the importance of reaching young audiences, noting that theatergoing is not just a passion but a habit. “Hook young audiences on regular theatergoing when they are young, provide them with exceptional theater experiences, and you retain them for life,” she explains.

She believes that representation and inclusivity are crucial, stating, “It’s important for young audiences to see themselves and their stories represented on stage, and we keep this in mind when we cast our productions and when we look for underlying material to adapt.” Theater can play a crucial part in encouraging reflection and dialogue about social and cultural issues. It can inspire empathy and encourage audiences to reflect and challenge stereotypes.

Part of TWUSA’s success stems from creating productions that are based on popular books or series. From Junie B. Jones to Percy Jackson and Dog Man, making them instantly recognizable to young people and making them eager to see a beloved book come to life on stage. This helps young people fuel their imagination and creativity. When selecting books or authors for stage adaptations, Pasternack looks for stories that young people love and educators embrace. The criteria include smart storytelling, emotional resonance, inspiring characters, and issues that speak to the target audience.

Additionally, diversity and pure entertainment value play a role in the decision-making process. Once a book is chosen, securing the underlying rights is necessary before matching the writing team to the material.

Pasternack explains that future adaptations include Jason Reynolds’ ‘Long Way Down’ and ‘Stunt Boy.’ We are also adapting ‘Where the Mountain Meets the Moon’ by the fabulous Grace Lin. I’d love to adapt the series by Jory John, such as ‘The Good Egg,’ ‘The Smart Cookie,’ ‘The Bad Seed,’ etc.”

Beyond the performances themselves, TWUSA strives to engage young audiences with pre-show workshops and post-show discussions. According to Michael Harrington, “We dabbled in technology a bit during the height of the pandemic as a way to keep theatrical experiences present in our audiences’ lives. Our education team worked with many artists to create some fun and productive programs for families and educators—and now we’re still utilizing much of that content to extend and expand the context around the live experience.”

As theater continues to face challenges in attracting audiences, even in New York, TheaterWorksUSA has observed a different trend in its theater productions. Despite the overall industry still being in recovery mode, Michael Harrington explains, “We have been a bit surprised and appreciative of the enthusiasm of young and family audiences in NYC. They want to get back out there and have shared experiences, and we’re excited to deliver for them.” Center Theatre Group, which has faced its own struggles recently, has embraced what TWUSA offers by including ‘Dog Man The Musical’ in their upcoming season.

As the landscape of live theater evolves, TWUSA remains committed to providing engaging and relevant experiences. Harrington shares, “We are always asking ourselves, ‘What’s next?’ How do we provide audiences with experiences that are engaging and relevant, but also undoubtedly theatrical?”

TWUSA’s mission to provide access to theater for all drives its touring efforts. Harrington explains, “TWUSA was built as a touring company. A core tenet of the company’s original mission was access—bringing theater to kids, families, schools, and communities that may not otherwise have that opportunity.”

For over six decades, TheaterWorksUSA has been an invaluable force in the country’s theatrical landscape, nurturing the dreams of aspiring artists and leaving an indelible mark on countless young audience members. Their impressive roster of alumni, including esteemed names such as Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, Bobby Lopez, Kristen Anderson Lopez, Jason Robert Brown, Douglas Lyons, Mindi Dickstein, Tina Landau, Nell Benjamin and Laurence O’Keefe, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, Christopher Ashley, John Rando, Michael Mayer, Jerry Zaks, both Chuck and Eddie Cooper, Alex Timbers, F. Murray Abraham, Miguel Cervantes, Judy Kuhn, recent Tony nominee Kevin Del Aguila—so many more, stands as a testament to their role in shaping the careers of countless talents. Through their unwavering dedication, TheaterWorksUSA has not only given a head start to emerging artists but has also remained steadfast in its mission to cultivate a new generation of theatergoers.

As TheaterWorksUSA enters each new year, its unwavering commitment to the younger audiences remains resolute. By offering exceptional theatrical experiences, they have continuously inspired and engaged the minds of the youth, igniting a passion for the performing arts in countless hearts. With a forward-thinking approach that embraces diversity, inclusivity, and a keen focus on nurturing talent, TheaterWorksUSA paves the way for the future of theater. Their pioneering spirit in family entertainment and their relentless pursuit of creating audiences for tomorrow solidify their position as a beacon of creativity and innovation in the ever-evolving world of theater.

Vivian Nicole Tesler Brings Back the Disco Revolution with Debut Single “Discomatic”

Artist Weekly Staff on July 20, 2023

Singer Vivian Nicole Tesler is set to ignite a disco revival with her highly anticipated debut single, “Discomatic.” Hailing from Canada and now residing in the heart of Los Angeles, Tesler is ready to transport audiences back in time to the electrifying era of disco with her soulful vocals and captivating performances.

Tesler’s journey as a performer began at a young age, and her talent quickly became evident. With a diverse range of skills and a passion for entertaining, she pursued her craft at two prestigious performing arts colleges in Toronto, Canada, honing her skills as a triple threat. “I have been on stage all my life,” recalls Tesler. “As a triple threat entertainer in singing, dancing, and acting, I knew my calling very early on in life,” she adds. Tesler’s dedication and talent earned her numerous awards and accolades as she competed globally, cementing her place in the world of entertainment.

Her debut single, “Discomatic” – to be released later this summer – pays homage to the disco genre, which emerged in the 1970s and left an indelible mark on music and culture. Tesler’s passion for the past and her desire to connect with contemporary audiences motivated her to embark on this musical journey. In a recent interview, she shared her thoughts on the significance of disco and her mission to reignite its spirit.

“I am often told, ‘YOU Vivian are not from this time.’ The past speaks to me culturally, socially, and artistically,” Tesler explains. “I am blessed to be able to connect to the world through the music I am about to release. I am incredibly excited for contemporary audiences to transport back in time, to a world where the electric sounds of the disco revolution were spinning vinyls on everyone’s record player.”

Disco music, characterized by its four-on-the-floor beats, syncopated basslines, and energetic instrumentation, has made a resurgence in recent years. Tesler believes that the genre’s timeless appeal and its ability to evoke cherished memories and stories are what make it relevant even today.

“So many people from past generations have wonderful memories tied to the music of disco. Whether it was sneaking out to see their first Earth, Wind & Fire concert or catching The Bee Gees making their triumphant debut on the Ed Sullivan show,” Tesler explains. “Everyone and anyone can recall where they were when we all watched John Travolta strut down the street in the opening of ‘Saturday Night Fever.’ Disco has always been a part of our lives. So I ask you, if we can recognize the stamp it has left on us, why are we not continuing the party?”

When asked about her musical approach and what sets her music apart from others, Tesler emphasizes her commitment to preserving the authenticity of the genre. Collaborating with world-renowned artist and producer Robert Berry, she aimed to capture the essence and energy of disco, both musically and lyrically.

“I am a purist, and I want to make music that impacts the listener in a way that transports them back in time,” Tesler states. “I stayed true to disco’s core, its pulse, and its heart and energy. The authentic sounds of ’70s disco music will be what intrigues the listener, not elements or samples that allude to sounds of the past.”

Tesler’s passion for disco extends beyond her own music. When asked about dream collaborations, she envisions working with legendary artists such as Gloria Gaynor, Bruno Mars, Nile Rodgers, Liza Minnelli, Cher, and many more. Her admiration for these icons demonstrates her desire to carry the torch of disco and collaborate with those who have shaped the genre.

Aspiring artists looking to follow in Tesler’s footsteps and make their mark in Hollywood can find inspiration in her advice. She encourages them to stay determined, resilient, and authentic while navigating the entertainment industry.

“Never take no for an answer. Where there is a will, there will always be a way,” Tesler advises. “Committing to making the move is commendable within itself. However, make sure to be set up with steady and reliable income and representation before making the move to Hollywood. Your story will unfold the way it is meant to, as well as how you allow it to. If you believe in yourself, the world will believe in you. You got this!”

Vivian Nicole Tesler’s debut single, “Discomatic”, which will then be followed by a full-length album in the near future, is set to take listeners on a nostalgic journey through the disco era. With her authentic approach and undeniable talent, Tesler aims to reignite the disco revolution and bring its magic to a new generation. Stay tuned for the release of “Discomatic” and get ready to dance to the electrifying beats of the past — Follow her on Instagram for the latest!
