Thirteen year old Dylan Cragle from Washington state is making his mark as a recording artist with his new original song “What’s Up With School” this week.  While many youngsters his age are singing copycat songs in attempts to be recognized, Dylan has taken it to the next level as a song writer/performer.  Working regularly with his producer Victor Holguin, Dylan is learning to exercise his unique creative talent.

Dylan began writing “What’s Up With School” about 2 months ago and I am delighted to introduce it here for the very first time.

What’s Up with School?

Dylan’s desire was to write about something that not only he could relate to, but something that all teens could identify with and enjoy.  This song is quite different than his past recordings as it is upbeat, cheery, and has a very catchy beat.  Like most teens, Dylan despises homework and often asks “why do I have to learn about this?” His Mom Lynn told me, that the chorus for this song  just spilled out while having a conversation with her about the subject matter of the song.  Once the lyrics for the chorus were in place, he thought of a melody and how he wanted the song to sound. He then took this to his producer and from that they started composing the music. Dylan then started writing the verses, the bridge, and came up with some ad libs. The song slowly developed, and what we hear today is the final results of this fantastic collaboration of creativity and effort.

Dylan is already looking foreword to writing his next song and we are very excited to see what comes next from this fantastic new young recording artist!

Don’t forget to leave your comments for Dylan, as he very much appreciates hearing from you, his fans and supporters!

Great job Dylan!  Keep them coming! We all wait in anticipation to your next offering here at Rivenmaster’s Place! …..”Rivenmaster”

Our very own Thomas stood and performed on the stage at the 5 Year Musical Fever presented by Active Event. This show included more than 2 ½ hours of exciting and emotional highlights from 20 of the world’s most successful musical productions. Music was performed from some of Broadway’s biggest shows and from movies such as “Dirty Dancing”, “We Will Rock You” “Mamma Mia”  and  hits of Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber.  Attendees enjoyed moving scenes from “The Lion King,” “Wicked”  and “Mozart”.  If that was not enough to please everyone ticket holders were also treated to music and scenes from: “The Rocky Horror Show,” “Sister Act” and “The Dance of the Vampires”.  Even some current and brand new musical hits such as Excerpts from “Hairspray” were included.
Today we include Thomas singing his rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody” which was made famous by The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Thomas continues to amaze me with his performance abilities and beautiful treble voice. He continues to sing with clear pitch quality and brings excitement which was described by one reviewer as “goosebumps”.  Or in the German goose flesh!
