Our last update for Adrian Chirtea and Julian Woodrow or better known as “Blackberry Jam” found them enjoying songwriting and recording sessions with teen vocal artist Thilo Berndt from Germany, after attending last year’s Prodigy Camp in Washington State.   The two boys, who are identical twins, have now expanded their careers venturing into acting as well as continuing their song writing and vocal recordings.

“Blackberry Jam” is more than just two creative young men with an incredible ability to entertain and make you laugh. These guys have continued to hone their skills leaving me without doubt that their first album, which is currently getting ready to be released, will be more than a huge success!

How it Began

The boys who have been singing since they were in the third grade kicked off their professional career at 14 years of age after begging their Mom to take them to audition on the X-Factor. That successful audition led them all the way to the boot-camp portion of the show before being eliminated.

“It was a fantastic experience where they met scores of budding artists which really cemented their resolve to become musicians;” their mother Heather exclaimed.

Over the following two years the boys published YouTube videos every two weeks, earning them over 2.3 million hits and 14,000 subscribers. This motivated them to develop their instrumental skills in ukulele and guitar. Last year both boys were awarded scholarships to attend Prodigy Camp under the direction of Rick Stevenson which set them on course to become amazing young songwriters. In fact, this month they will return to Prodigy Camp with yet another scholarship and an album full of original songs.

“Music has such an amazing ability to heal and bring people together.  I want to be a part of that always.”                                                                                                                                                                               Brendan Guy

Brendan Guy 1 Brendan Guy is not your typical 15 year old teenage boy.  While most teenage boys are out hanging with friends, chasing girls or playing video games, Brendan is writing, recording, singing and performing music.  And that’s the way he wants to keep it.

Brendan is a budding Pop-Star from Leduc, Alberta, Canada.  He has been singing and performing since his mom can remember. 

“I always said, if this kid isn’t performing on a stage somewhere someday, we did something wrong,” says his mom Cindy. 

Since the age of five, when he received his first Karaoke machine for Christmas, Brendan has been entertaining family and friends.  The coffee table became his stage as he would belt out “Let the Rain Fall Down”, a line in the the lyrics from  Hilary Duff’s song “Come Clean”.  In fact he sang it so much he wore out the cassette tape!

Seeing his potential, passion and natural ability to entertain, Cindy agreed to put him into classical voice lessons at the age of 7.  Brendan progressed rapidly and was soon competing in provincial competitions.  He soon became bored with the Classical Genre because he wanted to be a Pop Star!
