Celine Dion will be going on tour for the first time in a decade. Going back to her roots in Quebec City, she will be taking the stage at Videotron Centre, September 18-20.
Celine said that the reason she named her tour and her album “Courage” is because she has been through a lot, and life had given her the tools to find her inner strength, to find courage, and to keep going. Celine said “The people that I love so much embraced the moments that were difficult. They gave me so much strength. And then a song came that was called “Courage,” and it didn’t take long for all of us to say, ‘I think the album should be called Courage.'”
Regarding the upcoming tour, one audience member wanted to know what to look forward to.
The tickets for her tour go on sale April 12 @ 10am local time. Each ticket you purchase will come with one CD copy of her new album, scheduled to drop this fall.

How To Build A Website For Your Band
If your band is wanting to create more buzz, then you will need to build an electronic press kit that’s easy for producers, talent scouts, publicist, and record labels to understand who you are as a band, and what you bring to the table.
Here are some step by step instructions on how to build a solid website/EPK for your band or your music group.
Step 1: Your Site
Once you’ve chosen a domain name for your site, you will then need to select a template that best fits your sound and who you are as a music group. Keep it simple and easy to navigate for your visitors. Choose proper colors, font sizes, designs, etc. You will want a sleek and modern look for your site. You will then want to organize a structure with the different pages you are wanting on your Homepage such as: About Us, Events, Photo Gallery, Videos, Contact Us, Music, etc.
Step 2: Your Image
Image is everything, so you must start with a professionally done photoshoot for your band or music group. Select your favorite photos and upload them to your site. This is especially important for your Homepage. This makes a huge impact on how you’re perceived as a band.
You will also want to add a bio to your Homepage. Make sure to keep it short and sweet. Add two or three of your best songs, some recent news, and upcoming events. Add in some links to your social media platforms as well.
Your EPK page should include a quote that translates through who you are, a short bio text, a professional band photo, a few press photos, a sample track, and a sample video.
Step 3: Your Music
Create a dedicated music page for you and your band to upload your music: albums, playlists, music videos, singles, eps, etc to stream or sell. This is crucial for your fans and for any record label that’s scouting for talent.
Step 4: Your Buzz
Performing live, calling gatherings, and touring is the best way to create a buzz for any band trying to get their name known. Create a calendar for your site and keep it up to date with upcoming events, shows, gigs, etc. Add some professional looking video clips of you and your band performing LIVE as well. Make sure to link this back to your contact page where people can fill out forms to submit their emails to receive updates from newsletters and further communication regarding bookings.
Step 5: Search Engine Optimization
SEO can be tricky. It involves keywords, feeds, external links, schema, etc. This is one of the most crucial factors in getting yourself out there and not a lot of bands/musicians/artists use this tool for their brand. We would recommend for you to do some research, or hire someone who specializes in SEO/marketing/branding.We hope this helps you in your journey of kickstarting a site for you and your band!

Hollywood Week Recap: American Idol
American Idol judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan make or break contestants during Hollywood Week. During this segment, the contestants performed solo in groups of 10 and then told whether or not they will have the green light for group round.
They were so many great performances from Alejandro Aranda, Laci Kaye Booth, Margie Mays, Madison Vandenburg, Shawn Robinson, Colby Swift, Laine Hardy, Jade Flores, Myra Tran, Lloyd Harmon, Walker Burroughs, Nate Walker, Nick Townsend, Wade Cota, Dimitrius Graham, Juan Pablo, Evelyn Cormier, Clay Page, Shayy and Ashley Hess. These performances blew the judges away, and they all advanced to the group round.
There were several contestants who were sick during Hollywood Week, one of them being Eddie Island. The judges love him, but Eddie was concerned about his voice. He ended up performing “I’ll Follow You Into the Dark” by Death Cab for Cutie. He managed to impress the judges enough to advance to the group round.
While there were many great performances, there were a few that fell flat and unfortunately did not advance to the group round. Ashton Gill, Lauren Engle, Courtney Penry, Peach Martine, Landon Knowlton, Jorgie were all cut due to pitch problems, lack of confidence, and forgetting song lyrics.
The last segment of the show was the group round made up of over 5 groups (some did not air.) The first group was Diversity who sang “Stronger” by Kelly Clarkson. In this group was Tran, Flores, Mariah and Pablo, and everyone advanced except for Flores. Another group, The Diamond Dixies, made up of Booth, Hardy, Swift and Belle sang “Grenade” by Bruno Mars. Everyone advanced, but country singer Swift was cut. Victorious Secret was another group made up of Kasin Lester, Wade Cota and Grayson Little, and everyone moved forward except for Grayson.
The last performance was called Unexpected Vibe who sang “I Want It That Way” by Backstreet Boys. The only person that was eliminated from that group was William Oliver Jr. The rest of his group members; Shayy, Assata, Renay and Graham all advanced to the next round.
There was another group called Ain’t Going Home that lost one of their members due to an illness. His name is Nate Walker, and the episode was open-ended as next episode will reveal whether or not the group will proceed to the next round. Stay tuned for next episode airing Monday night!

Disney and YouTube Star, Gavin Magnus Is Next Biggest Thing Since Justin Bieber
It’s true what they say—in the music industry, in order to be seen you need to be heard. But in today’s digital era, it’s amazing to see what video platforms can do for an up and coming star.
Now, you can be seen and heard all at once on one platform. With the rapidly growing nature and sophistication of technology and social media, the ways in which people are utilizing them to grow their image are full of endless potential.
At 13 years old, Usher had Star Search; his protégé, Justin Bieber, at 12, had YouTube; and now, Gavin Magnus (12) also has YouTube.
But, how are these up-and-coming child starts like Bieber and Magnus able to manage the pressures of money, fortune, and fame?
At twelve (12) years old, Magnus has been crushin’ it with a YouTube fanbase of over 200K subscribers and a net worth of over $500,000.
With the continued support from his family, the Disney star is able to sing, dance, and perform for his fans while his Mom, Theresa, is advising and managing his social media accounts, ensuring that he is in the safest of positions and ensuring he is engaging with all of his fans and followers.
While outlets like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter all have certain age restrictions, most under the age of 13, Magnus’ mom, is able to work with her son and help determine what content is most appropriate and valuable to his community, abiding by the Terms of Service of these outlets.
Magnus spoke with us about how he feels about these social media platforms at such a young age:
“I definitely have a love/hate relationship for it,” the YouTube star replied. “[The technology] has made it really hard at times…because with popularity, there most definitely comes hatred and negativity. You just have to understand you can’t always please everyone.”
Magnus, who has dealt with the dark side of fame at an earlier age than most, recently participated in a national anti-cyberbullying social media movement called the #CYBERBYTE Challenge, where he recorded a video to his fans about being kind to one another and not bullying people. The movement, started by internet attorney, Andrew Rossow, has began to make waves throughout Hollywood over the past year as many stars have joined the movement in efforts to reach out to their fans about maintaining good digital hygiene.
Magnus, no stranger to bullying even at such a young age wants his fans to know that these “haters are just people who want to be you—whether they want to live your life themselves, or are just miserable themselves.”
He indicated that he eventually wants to travel around the country and speak to kids of all ages about the effects bullying causes.
The young star’s recent Valentine’s Day single, Crushin’ featuring fellow co-star, colleague, and potential young love interest, Piper Rockelle, is already over 2.7 million views in over just a month.
There’s no doubt this kid is headed in the same direction Justin Bieber did. And see how successful he has become?
