Rivenmaster’s Place is extremely proud to present a young talent who is taking Brazil by storm.  Fifteen year old Victor Santos is not only an exceptional vocalist but also has a wonderful personality that shows through in every performance.

Brazilian born in Recife, northeast from Brazil, Victor grew up in a musical family and learned about music from a very early age watching his father  (Singer Louro Santos) create his music both in writing and in the recording studio.  Victor quickly picked up on his father’s style and learned all of his songs.  This strong home musical influence coupled with music he found on the internet by youthful pop artists has been the musical driving force behind Victors singing career.

When Victor was only 10 years old he was labeled “The Revelation of Carnival 2008” in Recife.  Due to this label, major newspapers also picked up on it and stories written about him also carried that title.

Quite often I’m referred to young talent that makes me take a second look, but not often do I find a youngster who is quite as multi-talented as eleven year old TJ Lasinski or better known as TJ Prodigy.  Not only is TJ a talented singer, rapper, and dancer, but also a powerful spokesman for a cause that is one of the most important issues of today’s society. Unlike many youngsters his age who are mainly interested in just building a musical career, you could say that TJ is a young artist who is on a life changing mission.  In fact his mission is called just that! (Challenge For Change)

At six years old he was already performing consecutive back flips. This could be where the bounce comes in his music which not only captivates his audience but also helps to communicate his message to others who may otherwise turn a deaf ear.

TJ has always been very close to his older sister Shelby age 17, who always enjoys having the camera rolling on her little brother. When TJ was 9, he found the benefit of YouTube and Google and began searching for tutorials on break-dance moves, such as the windmill, the coffee grinder, the pin drop, and the 6 step! He practiced and practiced every day, tearing the kitchen apart to turn it into his little dance studio. In February of 2011, TJ was asked to perform in the high school cabaret. He performed a break dance routine with his sister to the song “Dynamite” and also sang the song “Baby” by Justin Bieber. TJ was the only elementary school student in the entire show, and he enjoyed it immensely. This was his very first performance in front of people.
