Famous words uttered by Bob Marley, also the words printed on the t-shirt Carrie Lane insisted on wearing to her first day of Kindergarten. That was just the start. Carrie Lane was born and raised in Montclair, NJ, just outside NYC. At the age of just 4-years old, she auditioned for, and won, the lead of Wendy in Peter Pan. On opening night, Carrie forgot her lines. When she finally found her words, her voice was so small; the audience could barely even hear her. For most, this experience would have resulted in a flood of tears. But, this was not the case for Carrie. The overwhelming joy of simply being on stage and performing dwarfed any negative feelings and in that moment, a star was born. Beautiful on the inside as well as the outside, Carrie was sought after by MSA Modeling Agency and immediately offered a contract. Since then she has become the face of Bangz, recently winning a competition for the spa chain’s search for an individual making a difference in their community and who exemplifies the belief that beauty comes from within. The prize was a cash donation to the charity of the winner’s choice. Carrie donated the money to juvenile diabetes, a cause she is passionate about, as she herself suffers from the disease. 00:30:0021st Century ReadynoReal Talk For Real Teens,Kim Crayton,Carrie Lane,Musical Artist,RTFRTC"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain."

Pop/alt-rock group The GoAround is a living, breathing, rocking example of this. The band has weathered many changes since their inception in 2006, but after a myriad of member switches the band now revolves around two core members, Alexander and Anthony Saddic. The East coast band is still based in their hometown of West Chester, Pennsylvania and has garnered a local fan base by playing shows with other well-known local acts – a fan base that they’re hoping to expand to a national level in the coming months.

The daughter of Norman Howell, a well-established stunt man/coordinator/director and stunt double for Kevin Costner, Deja traveled from location to location growing up, so it’s no wonder that she thinks of a movie set as “home.” As a little girl, Deja fell in love with the idea of performing. It would be the film “Dances with Wolves” where Deja would get her first taste of performing. She continued to participate in the ‘family business’ throughout her adolescence, but soon realized that stunts were not enough, as the life of an actress brought conflicted emotions. Having grown up on movie sets, she understands the life of an actor can be isolating, unfulfilling and unpredictable at times. With a longing to touch people’s lives through performing, it makes sense that Deja has branched out into other areas of creativity, such as music. 00:32:0021st Century ReadynoDeja Mae,Kim Crayton,real talk for real teens,real talk for real teens community,rtfrtcDeja was practically born to be a performer.

The sound is acoustic and authentic, with banjo, lap steel, mandolin and accordion accompanying her sepia-toned songs.  Spanning French surrealistic poets to The Sons of the Pioneers, Nettie draws inspiration from a rich spectrum of influences. “I’m a girl from Santa Monica, there’s only so much I can talk to you about,” she says. “Everything else is stories, imagination, research, reading and meeting people.” Nettie is the granddaughter of Alan Freed ­– the legendary DJ who gave the world the phrase “rock and roll.” With a music publisher father and a rock archivist mother, she grew up around the music business, intrigued by songwriters who she characterizes as, “…interesting, educated and incredible.” At age eight, she wrote her first song and one year later met multi-instrumentalist and teacher Fred Sokolow who taught her flatpicking and strumming. With his mentorship, she was indelibly linked with the musical legacy of Hank Williams, Flatt & Scruggs and Ernest Tubb. 00:34:0021st Century ReadynoNettie Rose,Kim Crayton,real talk for real teens community,real talk for real teens,rtfrtcGunslingers, card sharks, maidens, harlots and rapscallions: Etched in exacting imagery, Nettie Rose crafts lyrics that evoke a vivid cast of characters.

'I know a lot of people pursuing careers and degrees that they are not passionate about. They feel pressure from the world, from their family and friends. Some of my friends started out doing one major and have recently switched to doing something else. When you're young you feel like you have to live for everyone else instead of living for yourself. You feel the need to impress your friends when the truth is they don't care. We feel the need to make out parents happy with our career path when its our lives and our journey. We stay friends with the same people from high school or we hold on to those same friends. As we grow as people we figure out who we are and what we want and many times we grow out of friendships. The problem is many people my age don't even pay attention to that and that's why many are stuck in the same place wanting more from life but they don't know how to get it.'
