ShowBiz spotlight: Athlete Chaqwan Williams is going pro!

As all our avid readers of ShowBiz blog know, we turn our spotlight every week, sometimes twice every week, to a prominent or upcoming personality in the entertainment world and share our perspective of why the person deservers all the spotlight!


This is was no different when we set out to find out who will be featured in our spotlight of the week. But, this week is very interesting in itself. If you're wondering why, then we'd like to remind you that the 2020 Olympics (yes 2020 but happening only this year due to you know why!) has officially been kicked off this past week. So we thought it would be very appropriate if we talked about a upcoming celebrity in the field of sports.

We then researched and wanted to feature none other than the track and field national champion in the US  Chaqwan Williams. Chaqwan is a sprinter who finished his high school career at Crown Point High School in Indiana is very focused on shining and winning in his career as an athlete. 


Right after high school, Chaqwan accepted a scholarship to track and field powerhouse Indiana Tech for track and field where they accomplished a National Championship Title. After this fantastic freshman season, Chaqwan, the focused athlete that he is, he decided to go full professional right away. You can find all the information of Chaqwan the athlete here on athletics.net



We then learned something very exciting when we had a few conversations with Chaqwan himself. He will now be signing a pro contract with Under Armour for $1.6 million in a deal that we think will propel his career as a fine athlete by helping him keep his focus on all pro events to achieve his goals!




Chaqwan Williams puts all his thoughts into an excellent summary by saying "When you put your trust in god, anything is possible". We at ShowBiz agree with this fully and all the above together is the reason we wanted to feature an athlete celebrity this week on our spotlight! We wish Chaqwan all the best in his next sprints and field events and for him to reach for all the medals out there!

ShowBiz feature: Tied Knots by Peter Kasen

Today at ShowBiz, we feature San Diego based artist Peter Kasen who last week had released his second song titled "Tied Knots", from his album Providence. 

A rare full rock guitar song "Tied Knots" - the song enthralls us with Peter's vocals and the emotional lines that go "I left footprints in the sand, As a message that you could understand...". 

It is quite interesting to note that Peter himself wrote the lyric, did the guitar, sang it, composed it and produced it himself! - Very talented and dedicated DIY artist he is, he books all of his tours on his own in the US and international locations! 

The song is mixed and mastered by Ed M. of Skyward Records. A little bit about Peter Kasen - He began his music career as a solo artist under the moniker of “Propel“ in 2005. Worth noting is that he has also toured Europe on four separate tours and traveling across ten countries in these tours.




The single “Tied Knots” is available on Bandcamp and in all major platforms of music. Peter Kasen can also be found on Twitter @peterkasen and he runs his own website peterkasen.com wherehe regularly updates on his latest tracks.

ShowBiz spotlight: Mirror Mirror on the wall...

 This week at ShowBiz we are turning our spotlights on something rather interesting that we encountered while doing our regular rounds of search for unique music recently produced. 

Before we go into the music and the artist, let's talk about ourselves. Yes, ourselves - we humans. We all have a certain way of thinking, a certain belief, a certain approach to everything in life. Where does this come from? It comes from how we're brought up as kids or if we didn't have that opportunity - it then comes from what we've experienced as kids. After we are fully grown up, this certain way of doing things shapes us for the rest of our lives. 

Now imagine looking at the mirror and seeing this totally from a different perspective. A perspective that says this certain belief and thought process is actually turning you into a prisoner of those exact same thoughts. Quite the view, right?

This is our take away from the recent production "Mirror, Mirror" by an amazing artist Morgan King who has debuted her solo project with this song. She has literally swept us away with the lyrics and the rendition that starts with the lines "There's a monster in the mirror... Staring back at me...." and then goes on to sing about being chained in one's own beliefs. 

Mirror, Mirror

About the song itself, it is rock influenced pop track that was released on May 28th, 2021. We are so glad we caught this song so soon since its release and are spotlighting it here on ShowBiz blog! Morgan is truly a multi-genre artist - you can figure it out when you listen to her other tracks. Morgan’s solo music combines elements of pop, some old-school emo music, trap, and plenty of electronic sounds that will keep you coming back for more of it!

Morgan's website is therealmorganking.com and she can be followed in Instagram therealmorganking.
