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!

Electronic Music = Technology + Talent + Technique

Electronic music is enjoying a revival in American music, making an impact on the mainstream like never before. CIQ explains the origins of this often misunderstood fine art that is based on technology, talent and technique. In her FAQ VideoBlog CIQ answers the question “What is Electronic Music?” Electronic music combines studio technique with creative sounds and danceable rhythms, and there are more sounds than anyone can imagine!

CIQ has been enjoying some vacation time and travel, but she has also found some time in the studio, working on her new collection of mobile apps.

One of her newest apps this week is the beautifully styled CIQ Moment App, a Lite App with updates and news.  Here you can follow and share in her personal artistic journey, moment by moment as it unfolds, her thoughts and actions, as she continues to carve out her creative niche and personal influence in history.

Updates to the original CIQ Beta App continue to be made. It has been renamed the CIQ Access App. The Access Features went live a few days after its original release. More fun features continue to be added to the already extensive content, and navigation has been simplified.

There are more fun and exciting apps still in the studio for future release.

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.

Stage, Media, Events, Studio

31 Wednesday Aug 2011

It was 1995 when CIQ first moved to USA. Among several other creative projects she worked on, she soon found herself playing in several different bands every day of the week. All of them, with her keyboard sounds and skills, were live bands with an electronic music element. But she had to give up her first trip to LA to audition for York University’s modern electronic music program in Toronto. It was a great decision. After her acceptance into the program she fit four years of keyboard performance classes into two years. She spent most her spare time jamming with friends, performing on local stages, and picking up work in the local music industry. Then she studied producing engineering at Harris Institute for the Arts until she found herself working 24/7 in Toronto’s music industry.

But her work in Toronto’s industry started before she even started school. Right before frosh week, she showed up at a local music festival and introduced herself to the bands there. This soon led her into a string of performances in a few different cities. She had started her own band with friends from school but it wasn’t long before they said “say no to gigs” because between the shows, travelling, practices and writing songs, school was getting pushed aside. They had been asked to open for a band at a festival with an attendance of 30,000 people, and to open for them on their upcoming tour. But after talking it over with her band, CIQ and her friends decided to finish school first, because they had just started.

So CIQ decided to get involved with local media instead. Soon she was working with and hanging out with people in radio, print media and TV. She started a few of her own projects, mainly on the internet. During this time she was hitting local shows with her media passes and soon took a trip to Kingdom Bound festival in Darien Lake, New York. When she was interviewing and meeting all the bands in the media tent, a radio network took note of her and asked if she was interested in being a station manager at a new radio station they had just purchased. As tempting as it was, she returned back to school to finish her keyboard studies first.

But what happened next put CIQ on the worldwide map. She went with friends in the media industry to a club night and it was her first real encounter with DJ culture. That night she began working with local events in Toronto’s underground club and rave music culture. For the next five years she worked with several local promoters, booking talent and promoting events. She ran a DJ network online along with an events mailing list and websites with pictures from the events. Most of the events were within a day’s drive of the Great Lakes area in Canada and USA. Often there were three events every week. The internet was still fairly new. Her promoter years were mainly 1998-2002. The scope of the internet put her in touch with DJs and performers, music lovers and the industry worldwide.

She eventually made a decision to put promoting events aside because she wanted to spend more time in the studio. It seemed everything she took on became a full time job very quickly. While she was still in school, she had found time to work for several businesses in Toronto’s industry, mainly in studio engineering and the gear industry. She had worked in the synth shop at Long & McQuade, a handful of studios including MuchMusic and temporary studios in clubs, warehouses and private mansions, and record labels including BMG in Toronto, and independent Hollywood electronic labels in USA festivals. She worked a few times with the CMJ college radio music festival in New York City. She wrote the gear section for Contact music industry directory and joined the publishers at the Juno Awards where they had published the program guide. She really enjoyed networking in the business and artistic industries in Toronto, and her work also took her to other cities including Montreal, London, New York, Miami and Cannes.

She was offered many more opportunities, including taking over well respected business, but she wanted to focus on her own creative project. She set a goal for herself after working for so many companies, to start her own business, to make her own music, and to reach out on an international level. So she took an entrepreneurial business course, started writing songs in the studio, and networking more seriously worldwide.
