Aaryn Doyle AKA Lola & TBS: Perform the High Profile Events

High profile gigs are the norm for Aaryn Doyle & her band. So it was no surprise that they were headlining at the Rice private function at Stop 33, located above the city on the thirty-third floor of the Sutton Place Hotel in Toronto, on Sunday, May 25, 2008. The party grooved into the night as 15-year-old Aaryn Doyle and her 12 piece band rocked the entertainment for the Rice event with high energy & in style. The private event was co-hosted by renowned palaeontologist Dr. Rice, and the lovely Mrs. Rice, for the nuptial of their daughter Leah and her groom Adam.
Even though Stop 33 is well known as the room with a view, on this night, the view was to be appreciated from the inside first with Aaryn Doyle on the bill. Our talented young singer stunned the crowd with her beauty and amazed them with her vocal calisthenics. Yes! It was unanimous… The guests were in awe of Aaryn’s vocal talent and her maturity as a seasoned performer at such a tender age. No one could believe that she was only a teen, standing at a graceful willowy 6 feet tall in heels while commanding the stage with the elegance and poise of a veteran Diva. The compliments flowed as freely as the speeches that night, as guests took turns vocalizing their appreciation for her talents, while expressing how fantastic Ms Doyle was, and of course let's not forget her fabulous accompaniment. Some guests wanted to find out as much as they could, about Ms Doyle, while others enquired about her, with hopes of attaining an autograph after hearing that she was none other than Camp Rock's, Lola.
High-end exclusive private events are among the many types of concert events/venues that Ms Doyle and her band perform at. One such memorable event was the top secret McKenna Birthday Bash at the TDE. It was an evening to remember as Aaryn and TBS played the Toronto Design Exchange for a very exclusive and high profile audience of immediate fans. This society event was for former Canadian Premier Frank McKenna’s 60th Birthday Party, and once again… The accolades were overflowing for the lovely Miss Aaryn Doyle. Wow!
A 15 year old with so much talent, combined with the confidence and poise, to front a big band/orchestra of experienced professional musicians. That just isn’t the norm… It is the exception. But it is wonderful to see this exceptional young talent at work, performing live, up close and personal for delegates, heads of states, financiers, journalist, philanthropists, millionaires, entrepreneurs, business executives, etc., and in the midst of it all Aaryn Doyle continues doing what she does best with assured confidence, while making it look effortless... Even though on this particular night there were almost as many secret service agents, security people, event planners, and banquet staff, in attendance as there were socialite jet-setting guests. Did I mention, even former US President Bill Clinton was to attend in person, but it was not in the cards, as he had to appear at an election campaign event for his wife Hillary in her bid for the White House: so he did his visit via satellite. However former Prime Minister of Canada Mr. Paul Martin and other heads of state were in attendance, while Ms Doyle performed with star quality and shined, because she has "what it takes".

David Cadogan in his Miramichi scribe’s observations & amusements, e-publication wrote in “Surprise for Frank Mckenna” Posted on January 25, 2008, & filed under commentary, Miramichi …"And it was a great party. There was a great band of the “Blood Sweat and Tears” or “Chicago” type... A swelligant, elegant party it was, to paraphrase Frank Sinatra and Celeste Holm in “High Society”. The future definitely looks bright for this very talented teen and we plan to be there every step of the way.

A Candid Blog Interview with Aaryn Doyle...

Who is Aaryn Doyle?
Actress, Singer, Model & Teen.

Aaryn Doyle started acting and modeling at the age of six. When asked why she started in the business,she beams, "My mom modelled and I just knew it was something I would do."
When asked how long have you been singing?
"I can't remember not singing... I've been singing for as long as I can remember. Wow that's weird... But I love to sing."
What do you like most about being a performer? "I like making people smile or giving them an escape from reality even if it's just for a moment in time."
How has being a young performer impacted your life?
"It has been positive and good, but it's also been hard because I've had to miss out on doing normal things with friends, 'cause I'm working, or I miss out on things that happen in class because I have a series I'm recording, or I'm filming and the two commitments conflict. My mom helps to schedule me and I try to get it all done; but I swear there are not enough hours in a day. The scheduling load sometimes just isn't easy, especially since I attend regular school, unlike a lot of kids in the business."
Do the kids at school get what you do?
"I don't think so? I mean some of them get it but most others don't... Some think that because I don't have the time to socialize like other kids because of my acting commitments etc., that I am being a snob, but that's not it at all. At my school I feel like the odd man out because I am the only person who does what I do. And most of the kids and the teachers don't get it. Then there are the days absent... The absences are the worst for the teachers to understand and I just get penalized for it. But it's not like I'm skipping class. Skipping is not in my mom's vocabulary...
I tried that once, it doesn't work. In my high school I stick out. I am 5'10" tall, medium to slim build, bi-racial with curly hair and I am a working actor, model & singer and that leaves me in a minority of 'ONE' with a lot of people who would rather be jealous and petty than get to know me (which is kind of cruel and unfair but hey I've decided it must come with the territory). The truth is, I am harmless & so very normal; and what I do is not so different than most other kids extracurricular activity wise, except mine is in the entertainment industry. And seriously, most of the time what goes on behind the scenes on set is not that glamorous any way.
"
What are your friends like and how do they deal with your schedule?
"Well my friends are pretty understanding now. I've lost friends over the years because they just didn't get it and a lot of my other friend are in the industry
and are not really close by... Inconvenient! But my bestfriends are chill. They get me they know who they are and I love them for being them and allowing me to be me and not letting the performing thing be an issue
."
Aaryn, how young were you when you knew you wanted to be an entertainer?
(Aaryn shyly smiles)... "My mom says I told her one day while I was two and watching one of my Disney VHS' in my playroom. I turned to her and I said mommy I'm going to be on TV and she said... That's nice dear. The following year I started kindergarten and two years later I won through to the final rounds of Model Search America at age five, but my mom said I had to wait till I was six and that I had to be sure this was what I wanted to do. After my birthday we went to Rochester, I got a Canadian Agent, and the rest is history as they would say and now here I am."
What is it like being a tall actress?
"Wow! That's a good question... I do a lot of roles where I play someone older than I am, and it has always been that way. Height can be a disadvantage as most actors are not tall, but I really think that the directors and producers can look beyond height to find the talent they need if the right actor comes along. I must say though that there are times that I do feel like an amazon."
You mentioned that you model, how much modeling do you do?
"When I was younger... I did a lot more, until the acting took over and it wasn't feasible to run back and forth from Toronto since we live out of town for modeling jobs. But now that I am older I want to go back and do more. Recently I did the Becel National Magazine Print AD Campaign with my mom and that was a blast. However I do love food and I am a size three and I believe that if I was to model, I would have to become a size one... So I'm waiting till my teen body finishes settling in before I venture back into the modeling field full time. So maybe when I'm sixteen."
How much singing do you do?
"Singing is something I do a lot of... Well maybe too much? I have a regular gig where I sing with a Toronto band TBS and have been doing so since I was ten years old. My dad was in the band first, as the lead male vocalist, and they'd get me up on stage to sing and I'd go because I was fearless and the crowd would really really like me. At age thirteen they invited me to be the female lead vocalist of the band. Then one day I was seen by the Downchild Blues band and Chuck Jackson the lead singer and the band; they were so impressed with me he invited me to jam with them at an open mike and to jam at the South Side Shuffle so I went and it was a blast. That was the first time I was offered a recording contract... But the time was not right so my parents an I declined the offer. On most weekends I can be seen at some major venue or at a convention doing my vocal calisthenics with TBS, because that's my regular singing gig and it's all good, 'cause I love to sing and entertain. "
So Aaryn are there enough minutes and hours in a day for you and is your life stressfull or calm?
"No and Yes & NO... As a teen my life is filled with all of the stresses of making it through my teen years. And sometimes they are the doledrums. But hey on a lighter note please check out Camp Rock on the Disney & Family chanel, and don't forget the soundtrack release on June 17th giving a special listen to "WHAT IT TAKES" by Lola AKA Me. Love & Peace to everyone. And oh yeah get involvd in the Bandaid jingle when it comes out you never know, you may just win the prize. Oh and yes there are calm moments in my days. Thanks for asking."

Aaryn Doyle Disney's Lola of Camp Rock has What It Takes

Performing comes naturally to this lovely young lady. Her presence on stage is that of a seasoned veteran far beyond her years. At only 15 years of age she is capable of fronting a 12 piece orchestra with elan & grace... So is it really any coincidence that her name is Aaryn 'Élan' Doyle. Standing at a modelly 5'10" tall, this leggy teenager is poised, and endearing. Her infectious smile, dimpled cheeks and trademark large brown eyes are simply irresistible; as she is so warm down to earth and approachable to her fans.
Ask her what she has done and she'll tell you not much...
But most recently I worked on this great Disney Original Movie musical called Camp Rock, during the summer of 2007, with the Jonas Brothers & Demi Lovato which will be coming out on June 20th, 2008. I play the role of veteran Camp Rock camper Lola Scott, and it was a lot of fun. I'm featured in the movie doing a song called "What It Takes" at one of the Jams. I hope the movie is a great success for Disney. It sounds as if it is going to be as big as HSM and I'm glad. It was a blast being Lola, I really loved the Character. In many ways she is a lot like me... At least that's what I think. The cast is really talented, and they are all great kids.

If you ask me, I think that Aaryn Doyle has "what it takes"... Charm, personality, charisma and talent. So I will be following her career with updated posts in days and weeks to come, uploading more pics & clips of this young Canadian talent that are of interest, so you can get acquainted with Aaryn/Lola of "Camp Rock".
