The new description on her brand new Parfaiti facebook music page reads: Parfaiti (formerly known as CIQ), artist producer performer of Studio Gsynth, Toronto, Canada. Like the French word “Parfait” with an Italian twist, “Parfaiti” sounds like party and rhymes with confetti. Enjoy life with style!! Peace & Love 😀 ❤

parfaiti-facebookWhy the name change? “At this point I felt I needed a more international name that fits in all my circles, from Toronto to worldwide, and music to fashion. CIQ was a cool underground music name, but I felt that it was limiting when it came to international appeal, and my current career direction. Parfaiti is far more international and represents all sides of who I am.” From her French heritage and Canada’s bilingual audience, to her roots in Toronto Italian music dj culture, worldwide connections in music, arts and fashion, travel influences, and even her background in classical piano and violin, Parfaiti seemed to be a good choice.

Recently Shana signed a contract with Mode Elle, international model and talent agency, for representation in modeling, acting and music. “It’s a greater opportunity than I was expecting,” Shana explains. “As a multi-talent artist I’m excited to be more involved in the international fashion, film and music industries.” Her acting resume is now posted online and a flurry of activity is taking place in her creative studio.

“Since I’m signed with a model and talent agent I thought I’d like to design a fashion line first.” In keeping with her music industry background, she designed clothing on the Reverbnation platform. “The current fashion designs are inspired by paradise colours and a distinctive logo design that reminds of a butterfly.” You can pick up some of her new fashion at her CIQ fashion website! She is on twitter at ShanaModel.

She’s been working on an upcoming record, with a new track “Angels Soft Mix” already posted on YouTube.com/CIQmusic. “It’s a live recording from my music studio. People were asking for the music right away so I released it.” You can pick up your own copy at CIQmusic.bandcamp.com or any of her Reverbnation websites! She is already charting in Reverbnation’s Top 40 charts with her first release.CIQ at Reverbnation: Gsynth Label Gsynth Studio CIQ Live  DJ CIQ

Watch for more fashion designs coming very soon, and lots more upcoming record releases and remixes!

Scouted at a mall just a few months ago, Shana is about to do her first few fashion photoshoots.

“I was trying to find an agent for DJing. I finally gave up and decided to try acting. I’d travelled all over the world looking for a good DJ agent. The people I met were either control freaks that were impossible to work with (who wouldn’t even let me write my own songs! I’m a producer!) or they expected me to be a man to work with them. I saw Sandra Bullock in some movies, and people always compare me with her. I thought I might like to try acting on screen. When I was out shopping, I heard on the radio that an agent was scouting at my favourite mall! So I decided to ask about acting. When I showed up for an interview, they told me they could represent me as a model, actress, and talent.”

In the next several weeks, Shana has three fashion photoshoots lined up with top fashion photographers who work with fashion magazines in top markets worldwide.

“On the fashion runway, I hear the same music as in the clubs. I’m really happy. I’m still new at this and I have a lot to learn. I had no idea this was going to happen. People have asked me my whole life if I was a model! I didn’t know it was a real career option.”

Shana is on twitter at @shanamodel and @gsynth and will be attending CMTC in Toronto in May 2013 to meet worldwide agents. She will be represented by Mode Elle (personal manager and mother agent).

Artist and Entrepreneur

In between travel and balancing a weekend job working with youth, CIQ has been in the studio working on a list of new creative apps and tracks. “I follow my heart,” CIQ explains.

She worked years of freelance creative work in both USA and Canada since she left home at the age of twenty to take on creative projects at arts schools, jobs and in the music and entertainment industry. There aren’t many stones she’s left unturned. “I’ve done just about everything creative by now, between schools, jobs and freelance projects over the years.” Most the steady jobs she’s worked also offer a great deal of creative opportunity and freedom.

In Toronto freelance often means working for many companies simultaneously, so CIQ chose the projects that interested her most, and put a higher priority on higher paying work. She paid her way through school and bought her recording studio with the money she earned, and some trips around the world after that. “I actually ran out of new types of jobs to try after awhile and at that point I felt I wanted to start my own business. But I tend to make up my career as I go, so who knows what next week holds, let alone a few years from now?”

What motivates her the most is the people she’s with for the journey, and of course from a practical sense, the work she enjoys the most, coupled with a rewarding paycheck, perks and lifestyle.

“In Toronto we’re used to pulling off miracles on a shoestring budget. So it starts there and the sky is the limit as to what is possible. I’ve turned my attention to the internet mainly because I can live anywhere in the world and work creatively this way. I’ve also found socially, it can be pretty fun and exciting. Who knew so many of your friends and favourite people were online worldwide basically around the clock?”

She’s pretty happy with her life but has always wanted to be an investor or own businesses. Either way her music always motivates her. “To me music is a sport, like soccer. It’s fun, but I also treat business like a game. I like the feeling of winning, conquering a new skill, bringing something new to the marketplace. I like to inspire people with fresh perspective.” In other words, she follows her heart, and plays as she likes, in business, music and life. “I like beautiful things and I think a lot, I read a lot. Most of my ideas are inspired by travel, the great outdoors, and brilliant thinkers from many different industries, especially writers. I like technology and the arts and the thrill of sports and travel and new experiences.”

Brand New CIQ Beta App for Mobile Phones

CIQ has been busy at work in the studio, and this week she presents her new creative CIQ Beta App for mobile phones. “I’m very excited about sharing my new mobile app. It’s my first one, so I’ve called it the CIQ Beta App. I was able to completely design my own, so it really reflects all the things I love to do. I hope people will find it to be pure portable inspiration in their pocket.”

It’s loaded down with free fun features, websites, and up to the minute information on CIQ’s creative work. It already brings together more than a dozen online websites with dance music, photography, video, song lyrics, news, and has even more special features coming soon. “I wanted to make it so that I could add anything I want to at anytime, so it’s not like a game that you get bored of, but it grows with me and my people in time. If it works out really well, it might not really be a beta at all.”

It has four twitter sites (for music, studio, DJing and app), two youtube video channels (music and studio), streaming music and potential for free downloads, extensive photo albums of worldwide travel, news articles, song lyrics, fun personal pictures, two facebook sites, a thank you letter from CIQ, and an exclusive special access section, which is in process and basically limitless in its ability to grow and change with CIQ and her friends and audience.

“It’s completely free right now, so I finally have a chance to give something back to all the people who have shown so much love and support for me for so long. I have a lot more great stuff coming real soon, so please keep your eyes peeled!”

Putting it out as a free beta gives her a chance to try out features to see what works best, but it also gives her an opportunity to create an exciting app for a mobile platform that can keep up with current technology as it evolves.

“Thanks again, everyone… I hope you find this to be completely fun and inspirational. I want it to be free and I want to get it out there where people can find it, so please feel free to share it with your friends and enjoy it. And there will be more new music coming real soon.. so you can get excited about being the first to know about it, and you will be able to listen and download it right from your mobile app, the minute it is released, as you like!”

Right now the app has two fantastic streaming remixes CIQ has done which have proven to be favourites online so far. She hopes to share at least one new free track in the very near future, plus lots more music after that, and she has some exciting creative plans for the special access section.

The CIQ Beta App can be downloaded at CIQApp.com and is compatible with many platforms including iphone, ipad, blackberry, android, nokia, windows phone 7, bada, and even computer browsers. So what are you waiting for? Go get yours right now! It will soon be available in stores.
