Some of the best young male musically talented artists of today from around the world!

Connor Blackley “You don’t wanna miss a thing!”

Connor Blackley from Florida is the new young Country Singer to keep your eyes and ears pealed for! His outstanding award winning performances more than prove his ability to shine as America’s youngest new star!

Conner Blackley was first introduced here at Rivenmaster’s Place on January 13, 2010.
Since that time Connor has only continued to improve and his voice has become even richer while still maintaining a fantastic upper register which literally can
Fly Me To The Moon !

The school year has been a busy time for Connor, but he is busting out his summer wings getting ready to fly into performances and competitions which begin as early as this weekend  at the Jacksonville Jazz Festival’s “Generation Next Youth Jazz Competition”.
The competition is for singers and musicians (ages 7 to 21). Last year Connor was the 2nd youngest in the competition and came in 3rd place (he was the highest placing vocalist). Connor is hoping to snag 1st place year and use the $1000 prize towards guitar lessons.

Connor has many opportunities to show is wonderful singing abilities around sunny Florida and is often asked to sing for sport events. In this picture Connor is singing the National Anthem for the Jacksonville Suns at the Baseball Grounds of Jacksonville. In addition to this performance, Connor will also be singing the National Anthem for 2 of USSSA Pride’s (Professional Fast pitch Softball team) games in Orlando, the first one being on June 5th and the second in July. Connor does our Country proud for each and every performance!
This is one young man who lives life to the fullest and enjoys every moment he has to make others happy as he sings.

Recently I asked Connor a few questions for which he gave me the following answers.
.

Rivenmaster: What is your greatest ambition right now?
Connor: To become a professional singer!
Rivenmaster: Who would you like to sing with if you could sing with anybody?
Connor: That’s a hard question….Brad Paisley. Jon Bon Jovi.
Rivenmaster: What is your most memorable experience so far in your career as a singer?
Connor: Working with Cirque du Soleil in Vegas on the Viva Elvis show.
Rivenmaster: What person in your life is the most inspirational to you?
Connor: My Mom!
Rivenmaster: Who is your Hero?
Connor: I have lots of hero’s: my parents, teachers….but I have to include our military fighting overseas.
Rivenmaster: Do you consider Country Music your favorite choice in music? What other genres do you enjoy if any?
Connor: I really enjoy Country but I love all kinds of music: Jazz, Rock, Oldies, and Christian….all of it.
Rivenmaster: If you could meet any recording artist who would you like to meet?
Connor: There are so many I’d like to meet! Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw, Usher, Michael Buble.
Rivenmaster: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Connor: Hopefully I will have my own songs playing on the radio and be on tour.

Connor Blackley Jazz Fest 2009

Connor’ school (Lavilla School of the Arts) recently held their end of the year banquet and awards dinner and Connor received 2 medals: one for receiving Superior on his Italian Art song at Solofest in March, and the other for his chorus receiving Superior at the MPA’s earlier in the year.

What else can I add about Connor other than to say that this is one young man who I will have my eye on for several years to come and “I Don’t wanna miss a thing” that this boy records because I for one just can’t get enough!

There is much excitement in the Jansen Camp this week as they prepare for the biggest adventure of Jordan’s lifetime to date.

.

You may or may not know it yet, but Jordan Jansen was recently contacted by the L.A. based Management/Production company Electric Feel Management. (Genuine Music Group, LLC.)

In just less than a week, Jordan will be flown directly to L.A. to meet with the record producers in the studio to record his first internationally released  single which I’m told will be released immediately to the public.   In addition to this major single release he will possibly be recording more original songs that will be later released.

The US is in for a real treat, not only to hear Jordan at his finest, but to be able to meet him in person!  Jordan is now more than just a You-Tube sensation.  He is the real deal!

jordan-executiveFollowing his recording session, Jordan will be whisked away for some major meet and greets!  Autograph signings, live performances, and giving some of Jordan’s US fans an opportunity to meet Jordan up close and personal.

The management team has not disclosed all of the things that Jordan will be doing or where he will be appearing as some of those details are still being worked out!

This week just before Jordan leaves for the US, Channel Nine’s Today’s Show team members will be pulling up in front of the Jansen home, flooding their living quarters with bright lights, reporters, and camera men!  I’m sure if you live in Australia you will want to tune into this show as it will be his first major interview and official televised news release of this huge upcoming event in the USA.

A few months ago I had reported that Jordan was working on a CD and that “Hallelujah” would be one of the songs recorded.  I’m sorry to say that that plan was unfortunately scrubbed when the new and better opportunity for Jordan came along!  I am most disappointed about this but who knows,  if his new management team likes it enough or thinks it to be marketable we may still get that wish!  If not we still have his video which I still promote on this site as one of my Jordan favorites!

There is so much more that I would like to share with you, but that must wait until after his US appearance and proper clearance from the powers that be have been granted!

I leave you today with this last interesting note!

If you have long been a Jordan Fan, and have been backing and cheering him on, then all your efforts are soon to be paid off. This little Aussi is about to be a BIG Australian Star who will be taking the USA by storm!  So batten down the hatches, fasten your seatbelts, and get ready for the earth shaking Jordan Jansen quake that is about to hit CA.
