Kalan at Longueuil Ribfest

Oh to be 16 again.  Truth be told, I don't really think that I'd want to be 16 again as it was a pretty directionless time.  But, to be a 16 year old with not only an idea on what kind of career path to follow and to be already following it would be a pretty interesting proposition.  The second performer that I got to see at the Longueuil - Greenfield Park Ribfest was 16 year old Kalan.  He took his first rap/R&B steps the new generational way, by uploading a performance to his music to the internet where it got noticed by lots of people and ended up getting commissioned for a very popular online video game.  Since then, his very young legs have been dancing up a storm.  He only performed a few songs and a dance number, but he worked up the crowd into a frenzy.  The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/2000sec, ISO 3200 at 70mm.  Here are a few more photographs of his performance.

You can find out a bit more about Kalan by following the link to his YouTube channel.  You can also click on the following links to see the photographs of The True North Band and Dawn Tyler Watson & Roots who I also photographed.  Keep at it young man.  Follow those dreams.
