Talented June, 2012 | Page 4

A letter From the Founder

I’ve been to various night clubs, bars, beaches, and even back streets and one thing remains. There is always someone that can do something you have never seen, heard, or even imagined. I remember going on vacation seeing local comedians that made me laugh so hard I wondered why they were not on the big stage doing their thing. So I did something about it I created a magazine for people all over the globe. I wanted to cast the spot light on those

talented individuals that can't get out of the shadows. Listen I've been working dead end jobs for years that never showcased my talents. I mean how hard is it to pick up the phone "hello thank you for calling__?" it made me sick. Thus "Talented" was born so It doesn't matter if you sing, dance, draw, paint, act, cook, cut hair etc the list is infinite and this magazine is for and about you. Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying that if you particapte in this magazine that you will instantly be a blockbuster smash hit at the box office. What I am saying is that stardom takes the right batch of ingredients. Timing, fan base, and publicity all help you achieve that journey to the lime light and I feel that this magazine can help "you" achieve just that. So enjoy good reading and thank you for all your support.
