Torie and Camryn: Uprising Stars

Many people aspire to become a well known musician when they grow up. Two students at John I. Burton High School are already on their way to achieving this dream.  Torie A. and Camryn L. are both seniors at Burton, but they are also phenomenal performers.  Both of these students received the opportunity to perform in the AMTC conference during July of 2016.  The AMTC (Actors, Models, and Talent for Christ) is an biannual conference which provides talented individuals the opportunity to work with entertainment industry executives in order to grow their talents.  The conference includes film, fashion, music and theater.  Both Torie and Camryn had to complete an audition in order to participate. The AMTC is an immense event and the citizens that make it in are unquestionably talented.

In July, Torie A. flew to Florida where she acted, modeled, and sang at the AMTC conference.  The song she sang for her solo was "Buzz Cut Season" by Lorde.  She described it as a new experience that opened her eyes to what she wanted to do after high school.  She emphasized, "This is not something I've done before...it made me realize what I wanted to do; that I wanted to go into music."

Camryn L.,also performed at  AMTC.  She sang in two solo acts and modeled.  Her two solo songs included: "Promise Me," a song she wrote herself, and "Let Her Go" by Passenger. Camryn explains that she was apprehensive about performing in front of that many people but her performance was flawless.  Camryn also explained that she would like to go to Visible Music College and get a degree in music production after high school.




Prior to this summer, neither Tori or Camryn had never performed in front of an audience that vast.  They both explained that it was a very supportive and comfortable setting.  "It was just such an encouraging environment...there was no trying to put other people down," stated Camryn L.  Burton's Blog wishes you both luck as you continue your journey into the field of entertainment.
