About Me

Hi. My name is Matthew Newtion, and I am a D-A-M-S (dancer; actor; model; singer)...or atleast I'm studying to be.I am currently training at WAC Media and Performing arts and I have another year to go before I graduate. It has been an intense process...who knew learning to be an 'artiste' was sooo much hard work...? But seriously though, I wouldn't change it for the world.I am a vocalist first and foremost. When it comes to my vocals, I would say that my voice is best suited to songs which draw from older styles. I draw influence from old jazz standards, old school r'n'b, gospel, hip hop and soul.With 1/2 my studies out of the way and another year and a half to go, I am both eager and (almost) ready to sing professionally.I am a strong dancer who is currently in the process of starting up a dance troupe which I hope will be different from those that are out there...so keep an eye out for D4DS (Dance for Dance Sake)!!!Where dance is concerned, my ideas are inspired from a wide base of areas ranging from hip-hop and street to ballet. from contempoprary to African styled movements.Ideally, I would like to set up a troupe that combines and draws on inspiration from wherever the hell it likes and makes it it's own. I dont want to stick to the same mould that is it out there.I like to challenge myself, and hope to keep on giving my voice and peformance style diversity. I enjoy trying new genres of music, and creating harmonies that arent the norm, as well as pushing the boundaries of what is classified as dance.

My Interests

Dance, vocals, Travelling, Backing vocals, theatre

I'd like to meet:

I am looking for people who are 'young' and are looking to bounce of others and create something.I'd like to meet dancers, singers, producers, coreographers.Id basically like to meet anyone who has a need and want to create art.In an ideal world, Id like to meet people who want help and wanna help.In the longterm, my aim is to get a record deal...this of course is a gradual process... So if your in the know, get in contact.Vocals are most definately my main game, but I have a big ol' drive for dance which I can't get rid of. So I'm endeavouring to pursue both art forms as much as is possible...It would be great to create a nice little network in the process.
