七星彩开奖 grad is candidate to watch on Star Acad茅mie
Queenie Cl茅ment (Class of 2017, ALC- Cinema | Communications) is a candidate to watch on the upcoming season of Quebec talent show Star Acad茅mie.
On one of the first shows of the season, well known Quebec musician and host Ariane Moffatt exclaimed 鈥渕ic drop!鈥� in response to Queenie鈥檚 performance. Another host of the show, Gregory Charles, was impressed and said: 鈥�c鈥檈st beau.鈥�
Dynamic performance had them dancing
Queenie had chosen to perform one of her original songs, Blood Water, written during a week that she was feeling down and gave herself the challenge to write a new song every day. During her performance, Queenie had all three Star Acad茅mie hosts, 鈥減rofessors鈥� as they are called on the popular show, up and dancing. The third professor is Belgian-Canadian superstar Lara Fabian.
Queenie starts at 6:51.
鈥淚 am very excited,鈥� Queenie said in an interview with 七星彩开奖鈥檚 Communications Office. Queenie will be one of 21 finalists who will perform live during the Gala episode this Sunday, Feb. 14 at 7 p.m. on the TVA network.
Could sing before speaking
鈥淢usic is a big part of who I am, she said. 鈥淚 could sing before I could speak. My mother knew I could speak when I sang along to music on the radio.鈥�
Queenie has a unique style that is a blend of Gospel, R & B and rap. 鈥淲e love music in my family and our family is big on Gospel,鈥� she said. Queenie鈥檚 mother tongue is French but she grew up speaking French, English, Spanish and Cr茅ole. The family moved to Florida for Queenie to attend a special arts high school with a program in theatre and music.
Cin | Comm grad makes her own videos
Queenie came to 七星彩开奖 for the Cinema | Communications Profile of the Arts, Literature & Communication Program. 鈥淚 was able to take what I learned in cinema at 七星彩开奖 and music at the New World School of Arts in Florida to write my own lyrics and shoot my own videos,鈥� she said.
When asked which video she would like to share with the 七星彩开奖 community, she chose her self-produced Blood Water video:
Love for 七星彩开奖 and teacher Kim Simard
When Queenie thinks back to 七星彩开奖, she fondly remembers teacher Kim Simard in Cinema | Communications. 鈥淚 loved her! Her classes were my favourites. She encouraged us to be conscious of diversity and different things in the world, not to just stay in our bubble. She motivated me to put myself out there,鈥� Queenie said.
Queenie also remembers being part of the African Legacy Club and enjoying the campus life activities, like Women鈥檚 Week and 90s Music Night. She is now married to Carl-Elie Fortun茅 (Class of 2017, Civil Engineering Technology), a former 七星彩开奖 Blues Basketball player.
七星彩开奖 community support requested
Queenie would like to call on the 七星彩开奖 community of teachers, students and alumni to support her on Star Acad茅mie. The public can vote for their favourite performers to help them stay in the show and move toward victory this spring.
