Many say that stardom is fleeting, and there have, in fact, been so many promising actors and artists with massive potential who turn out to be one-hit wonders. As such, celebrities are keen on finding a way to achieve longevity in the highly competitive environment. However, one name continues to thrive among the countless talented individuals in the entertainment scene: Tisha Vaculin.

The remarkable woman is a model, actress, and comedian who has been modeling since she was only four years old. She ventured into acting at 22 and had her first big feature role in 2005. Since then, the gifted individual has appeared in several notable projects, including Disney’s High School Musical, Halloweentown, I Really Hate My Ex, and See Arnold Run.

In 2015, Tisha discovered social media and found a new avenue to connect with her fans and followers. In addition, she cleverly leveraged the platform to monetize and network. Because of this, her reach has grown, and she has become one of the earliest social media influencers. She insightfully shared what inspired her to pursue this path and said, “Social media for me was a way to finally engage with people from different parts of the world that may have seen a movie or show of interest that I was in. It’s always fun for me to hear someone say, ‘hey, I saw you on TV tonight’ and get excited to have a conversation with me.”

Because of her infectious humor and entertaining personality, she has amassed over 300,000 followers and earned millions of likes. Yet, at the same time, the inspiring individual remains dedicated to her goal of being more versatile and well-rounded. “I usually get told that I’m funny, and that’s kind of the direction I try to go with my content. But, moving forward, I would really like to collab with other contact creators and make more videos that are a little out of my box,” she candidly shared.

Always looking for her next endeavor, the visionary started managing talents and artists in 2017. As a manager, she handles an upcoming country singer and several successful Tik Tok creators. In 2019, she also teamed up with World of Dance to co-manage their tour. On top of that, the dedicated career woman has dabbled in event coordination for the past 12 years. She has worked with several big brands and companies, such as Playboy and Bench Warmers, as well as various celebrity families.

Aside from her work in show business, she is also a fitness enthusiast who promotes a healthy lifestyle to her followers. Moving forward, Tisha Vaculin intends to continue cementing her reputation as a longstanding personality in the entertainment industry.

As such, she remains fully committed to her responsibilities as an influencer, content creator, manager, and event organizer. In addition, audiences would be delighted to learn that she has an upcoming movie slated to be released early this year. Fans should keep their eyes peeled as the actress plans to release more details about the project soon.

FUREA Winning the Hearts of Thousands with His Electronic Music

The Chicago Journal Staff on January 9, 2023

We are all well aware that nothing beats live performances, especially if it is electronic dance music. The adrenaline rush you feel is out of this world. In fact, music producers and DJs all around the globe spend a significant amount of money on the production and planning of their shows. Now more than ever, artists are seen focusing their attention on electronic dance music compared to mainstream hip-hop or indie music in order to make it big in the world of music. Even though the EDM market has recently grown more congested than it was in the past, there is always room for one more artist.

Excellence in electronic dance music, however, can be rather elusive. A person who lacks vision or the willingness to explore outside the horizons of the mainstream genre often fails to thrive in it. Only exceptionally talented artists with a passion for creating music can take the EDM industry by storm and revolutionize it with their art. Such is the case with this young German artist Boran Firat, more popularly known as FUREA, whose famous hit ‘EYES’ got over 50,000 streams on Spotify!

FUREA’s electronic trance style has been capturing the hearts of countless fans. With intricate rhythmic patterns performed in such a profound yet concise manner, his soundscape is on another level. His track ‘This Can’t Be Happening,’ which was released in 2019, captivated millions of listeners around the world due to its fascinating lyrics and exceptional beats. The premise of the song is how young people are discouraged from engaging in activities they find fulfilling. They have many fears. In fact, these days, being gloomy is considered cool. FUREA encourages the younger generation to believe in themselves and confront life head-on with his peppy music. His most recent smash single, ‘Couple O’s,’ which makes real and meticulous use of the finest electronic beats, only goes to demonstrate his true mastery of the genre. The beautiful symphony created by the constant progression of the rhythmic cadence resonates with the listeners for a long time after you stop listening to it.

As far as FUREA’s passion for music is concerned, he has loved music since he was a young boy. Despite coming from a non-musical family, he was already playing the violin at the age of ten. Growing up listening to Slipknot and Metallica, he would often imagine himself as the lead singer in a band. To pursue his passion, he enrolled in a music school in Germany called Bremen, but dropped out in just three months. “I dropped out earlier due to the lack of creativity of my music production teacher,” reminisced FUREA. “All the other teachers were great, but the music theory and mixing is not enough for a producer. The sauce has to be tasty as a whole.” Oliver Sykes, a member of the band Bring me the Horizon, serves as a major source of inspiration for FUREA’s music.

Excelling in the music industry can be daunting for any new artist. FUREA himself had his fair share of hassles and struggles before he made his way into the music scene. “I would say it takes time to make an impact even over 10 people because they have to see the process of you struggling every day making new music,” FUREA shared while talking about his struggling days. According to the EDM artist, anything is attainable with the right type of meditation or mantra. For him, that mantra happens to be hard work with a little bit of ‘Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare. Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare’.

When it comes to what FUREA means, the word translates to flare in Japanese. FUREA himself further clarified, “FUREAns should be about being full of light in this world. Being conscious and loving. I always felt this way when I was next to people; I think we are alike with whoever listens to my music.” FUREA’s target audience comprises EDM lovers who also take an interest in emo rock. His beats are often created to awaken deep thoughts and feelings and are mostly inspired by recent events and experiences in his life. “A boring life can’t bring success or suffering can’t bring success. It has to arrive from the happiness within, so I try to find that place in my body,” stressed FUREA.

Despite being an underground, aspiring artist, 318 people chose FUREA to be their favorite artist of the year in 2022. With his latest single, ‘Fellow Friends, ’ out in November 2022, more and more people are exploring the charm and charisma of this German artist who happens to achieve milestone after milestone with his trance music.

Jose Morales Boxing Academy’s Unique Approach Arms Students with Physical and Leadership Skills to Create Better People

The Chicago Journal Staff on January 9, 2023

Jose Morales Boxing Academy is revolutionizing the world of boxing by offering a unique training experience for all individuals, regardless of their skill level or background. Located in Roseville, California, the family-owned boxing academy is the only one of its kind where seasoned boxers and soccer moms can train together in a welcoming and inclusive environment that encourages families to join in on the fun.

While many boxing gyms focus solely on fitness, Jose Morales Boxing Academy has taken a different approach by introducing a comprehensive ten-level warrior program that not only teaches the technical aspects of boxing but also focuses on developing leadership skills and creating better people.

“Since opening in 2016, I have implemented a structure that allows all ages and levels to improve their fitness, health and boxing skills. I did this by creating an environment that allows both professional, amateur, and recreational boxers to work out in the same ring. We are a tight-knit, diverse community of members that are eager to help and support each other,” says Jose Morales, owner and head coach at the academy.

One of the key features of the warrior program is its emphasis on doing what is right and helping others, which is a refreshing change from the typical “sales pitch” approach of many boxing gyms. “Boxing is forcing regular people to face inner demons and change lifelong bad habits, creating better people for our community,” says Morales. “No boxing gym has a development program designed to not only teach boxing but to create leaders and better people in every aspect [of] health, life and business.”

The academy also offers a range of classes and training sessions for individuals of all skill levels, from beginner to advanced. Experienced coaches provide both group lessons and one-on-one training to help clients reach their goals, may they be fitness or boxing-related. But whether one is looking to get in shape, learn self-defense, or compete in the ring, Jose Morales Boxing Academy’s holistic approach of incorporating each of its students with well-founded leadership skills is the cherry on top of its extensive offerings, developing a sense of community-building in them.

In fact, the Youth Program, offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays, focuses on developing young boxers with strong social and leadership skills. Independence and resilience are honed, and every quarter, the academy’s team sits down with parents to review each child’s progress to provide the best environment for them to thrive.

For competitive boxers, the gym has designed the Warrior Program, a tiered system that allows them to advance their skills and mental strength. This program is available to those who want to take their boxing more seriously and is ideal for those interested in competing or pursuing a career in the industry. Participants are carefully evaluated and challenged to push their skills, technique, and education to the next level.

On the other hand, the Adult Program offers a collaborative environment where clients can train alongside boxers at all levels, giving them an authentic boxing experience. Every day, a different muscle group is targeted, with the team’s expert coaches guiding each participant toward meeting their individual goals.

“We want to help you grow a better version of yourself – in mind, body and soul. We’re here to motivate the hopeless. We’re here to give when the opportunity presents itself,” says Morales.

Jose Morales Boxing Academy has successfully proven its highly effective and valuable approach to developing both fitness skills and personal skills. By focusing on both aspects of training, the Academy is able to provide its students with a well-rounded and holistic experience that not only supports them in achieving their fitness goals but also allows them to grow as individuals. The enterprise has found a way to improve the business while making a positive impact on the community, encouraging others to do the same. By helping people become physically fit and develop essential personal skills such as discipline, self-confidence, and perseverance, more gyms can truly make a difference in the lives of members of the wider community.
