Keeping Up with 15 Year Old Aaryn Doyle On the Scene...

Fifteen year-old Aaryn Doyle star of Disney’s hit movie musical “Camp Rock” performs solo at exclusive private live concert for pal and clothier heiress, Gabi Liberman, for her “Super Sweet 13 - Batmitsfa” thrown at the Factory in Toronto on Saturday December 13th, by parents John and Beryl, and a notoriously glamorous affair it was. Everything about the evening was top notch. From the open bar and the exquisitely catered menu, to the beautiful and talented guest celebrity entertainer flanked by her burly security guards in attendance, with all guests dressed to impress. Yes indeed, everything and everyone was elegantly turned out and attired in ensembles of black… The scene was truly Hollywood North, and the night was pure magic with the perfect dazzling of Disney starlet magic to top off the evening. According to the young guests/fans they had not a clue that they would be having a live performance at the party… But to have Lola Scott/Aaryn Doyle, from Camp Rock perform live… “How amazingly awesome… Oh my God! You are our absolute favourite says, her young fans and party attendees, and we love your song What It Takes and you have like the most amazing voice.” According to Aaryn Doyle, “Camp Rock and all it’s fans is a humbling experience and I still pinch myself. But the best part about performing at the Factory was performing my own original songs live for the first time, to an audience of my peers and that they loved them. Wow! It was incredible. What a Rush! The fans are what make doing what I do worth it… They are great. And then the other perk was doing it for Gabi, as her birthday surprise… She is so super sweet and her family is pretty awesome. Also a special shout out and props to DJ Justin & Magen Boys crew for doing such a great job.”
Fan frenzy while Aaryn performed on stage was enthusiastic and robust… The reactions to her songs were overwhelming. “Reflection” and “Weekend” were the clear favourites. After the performance fans were asking for copies of the songs, as Aaryn signed autographs on everything from promotional pictures to boxers, cell phones and even digital cameras. Then there was the photo-op with the young star and her fans before she had to be whisked away to yet another commitment where she appeared with a TO band in Yorkville at the Four Seasons Hotel, where fans requested more pictures before her busy night could end… And that’s a wrap for December 2008.

Aaryn at L’Oreal Fashion Week 2008 in TO…
L’Oreal fashion week 2008, kicked off in Toronto in style, to bright lights, cameras, and action as stylistas and celebrities stalk the red carpets and models walk the runway. With a spectacular main tent at Nathan Philips Square in the heart of down town Toronto all eyes were on the fashion event of the year. From start to finish Toronto’s fashion week was a spectacular success. Featuring many of Canada's Top Designers and Design Houses as well as up and coming Canadian design talents from the industry and entertainters like Aaryn Doyle lending their talents to specific fashion week shows and events.Aaryn Doyle closed out the Diesel Kids spring show on the third day of fashion week with an energetic performance of Start the Party from the Disney movie Camp Rock in which she starred as Lola Scott, which was studio mixed with Don’t Stop, one of her original songs. The performance and the fashion show, was well received by the audience. The show opened with flight attendants, then followed through with children’s spring fashions and vacation cruise wear. The outfits were colourful and fresh, and they were accessorized with Hawaiian leis, travel cases, and knapsacks, co-ordinating with foot-wear from rubbers to sandals as our young models strutted their stuff in everything from leisure to beach wear. Then to wrap-up the show Aaryn Doyle started the party, with her up beat Camp Rock performance and the Diesel models all joined her on the runway for a final walk.
Aaryn was dressed in black Diesel Tuxedo short jumper with a printed white Diesel T-top below. The outfit was accessorized with black leggings and a trendy pair of knee-high black suede slouch boots, a black wrap beaded onyx bracelette, silver rings, a chunky onyx fashion ring, sterling heart choker, large black woven hoop ear-rings and a diamond solitaire ear stud, while confidently sporting a stylish faux-hawk, that gave this urban artist a soft rock edge. The look was retro sheik and Aaryn pulled it off beautifully. Preping for show time... Doing a quick ET Canada Interview... Next stop for Aaryn, L’Oreal Fashion Week, LG Fashion Fusion Finale show which closed out fashion week with a bang. But this time she attended as VIP and stylista on the red carpet rather than being the performer working the runway. Aaryn and all guests in attendance had the pleasure of taking in Maroon 5 live in concert as well as viewing a series of randomly staged incredibly fabulous fashion shows throughout the evening. What a way to cap off Toronto fashion week 2008. During fashion week the media, paparazis and fans caught up with Aaryn Doyle at the HSM3 Red Carpet Promier in Toronto where she signed autographs, greeted fans, interviewed with the press while hanging with friends from the casts of Degrassi and the Latest Buzz. Then it was back to her other life as teenager, student, and musician…
And that’s a final edit till the New Year.

Aaryn Doyle answers fans about leaving TBS...

Wow! Aaryn Doyle it seems that fans are interested in every move you make. Like whether or not you are with a new band and why you left TBS. Also most recently it has been brought to my attention, through many sources, such as this weblog site and other sites like your Myspace fan sites etc, that you're now singing with other bands and performing solo. Yes Ruby this is the case... I have indeed left TBS and upon resigning from the band over a month ago, I requested that all my data, interviews, and pictures, be removed from the site, to avoid the confusion, but to date that has not happened. However I still wish the band members the best of success in future endeavours, and I pray for them and Bill a very dear friend (a member of the band who passed recently). He was my mentor and he was like a grandfather to me. So what you are telling me is that you resigned from The Bluesual Suspects: the band that you have been performing with as lead female vocalist for the past almost three years since the age of 13. Could you explain your decision for your inquiring fans? Yes... What I am telling you is that I have left the band and it was a difficult choice; but it was, for reasons that I feel were very important to me. It came as a surprise to many of the band members but it was time. Would you like to elaborate and clear the air as to why you left the band? Well let’s just say a big part of my leaving the band was I have grade 11 and 12 to complete, and school is a huge focus for me this year. I was also thinking I would like to work on my original music, something the band could not help me pursue. Also there is an issue of not being able to work until 1:OOam in the morning at gigs during the school week as I am a minor with a curfew and I’m not willing to compromise my education or myself. However, music is my passion, so I have joined another band that is capable of making the necessary concessions in order to accommodate my needs... Therefore I will be able to continue performing part-time... Also the new band members are extremely accomplished musicians, with a vast music repertoire that is more current which will challenge me as an artist while allowing me to grow as a performer. But like I said the next year and a half is about finishing up high-school... I am only 15 and I need to focus on school. Final question before we rap. How are your new songs coming? Well they are coming nicely and I am spending time in the studio working on developing my signature sound and perfecting my tracks. And it’s all good.

AARYN ATTENDS ME TO WE

Aaryn & Ray at Me to We
Aaryn Discusses Her Me to We Concert Experience… "Me to We was a humanitarian benefit concert event like no other", says VIP guest Aaryn Doyle.
Me to We Co-Founder Marc Kielburger & Aaryn Doyle
VIP Guests John Tory ON PC Party Leader & Aaryn When invited to the Me to We concert as a VIP guest Aaryn Doyle was naturally excited to attend because she knew of the organization’s global commitment to change from a grassroots hands on charitable stand point... Plus Doyle would get the day off school, and she was also aware that other students from her school would be in attendance at the event. But it went deeper than that. There was at least 6 degrees of separation that could not be denied. Doyle, had been acquainted with Me to We, recording artist Louise Kent and her producer Trust, so seeing the finish product and attending the concert was a welcomed privilege. However to be amongst fifteen thousand people strong with the same purpose, the same mindset, and the unifying drive to accomplish change starting with oneself as an accountable individual… “What a rush” says Doyle.

Aaryn, Trust & Degrassi Star Sarah When asked for her opinion on the event. Doyle reflected upon the day in silence… Then she stated, “It was awesome. Me to We is a commitment to oneself… And a commitment to the world. What an amazing day. The Me to We concert experience was electrifying and inspiring. With notable guest speakers and performers like Sarah McLaughlin, Mia Farrow, Soul Guy, the Degrassi Kids, Michael Chikwanine former child soldier, Ben Mulroney, Canadian Idol judge Farley Flex, The Canadian Tenors, Me to We founders Marc and Craig Kielburger, and more, sharing their own personal Me to We experiences in an entertaining yet inspirational way, keeping it tied to the universal message of giving back, while other performers sang for the cause. It was moving."

In attendance were people from all walks of life trying to make a difference. Some travelled across borders to be a part of this culturally defining event. That day (October 17th), each and everyone walked away a stronger piece of the puzzle being assembled. Our youths through corporate sponsors, educational organizations and some coming on their own, joined together with their mentors…. But they all gathered together because of the Me to We vision. With a totally selfless goal of trying to heal poverty through giving back and becoming proactive by doing and giving of oneself to those in need. The spirit of the Me to We organization is astoundingly effective, and its charitable deeds are overwhelmingly invigorating, if you partake. Young or old rich or poor you are a part of the solution. If you open your eyes and your heart the possibilities are endless. All it takes is the giving of your-self to cause change and positive growth. The truth is, it begins with Me and extends to We.

Aaryn Doyle & her Me to We generation
Aaryn explained how when she spoke to other youths she could feel a connection to them. Even when she spoke to some of the adults attending, she still feelt the same kind of unifying connection. It was then that she realized that everyone there was willing to role up their sleeves and become more involved even if they were already heavily invested or personally involved. As teens Marc & Craig Kielburger found their “Me to We” moment, and are now effectively making others accountable and responsible for achieving their own personal Me to We connection. An achivement that Aaryn thought was quite remarkable, especially when most people are busy trying to acquire stuff.
Me to We VIP Families & Friends... Ready to Give Back
Yes, the Me to We movement that Aaryn speaks of is a growing reality that defies borders and class distinction. Yet, it is simply founded on selfless-humanitarian gestures of giving back and in turn making a difference. Then teaching others to do the same through mentoring, so that tomorrow there may be many more Me to We experiences. In the unanimous opinions of Aaryn Doyle and the many other Me to We attendees, the Kielburgers are great humanitarians and role models for the Me to We generation. So why not give the Me to We experience a try? Get involved and give back. Aaryn hopes to continue making greater “Me to We” type connections in the future because she feels it is important to give back.
