How Actress Shiloh Nelson is Surviving the Quarantine | AfterBuzz TV

How Actress Shiloh Nelson is Surviving the Quarantine | AfterBuzz TV

Shiloh Nelson stars alongside Sofia Carson in Netflix’s upcoming film “Feel The Beat,” premiering on June 19th. The film centers on ‘April’ (Carson) who is a Broadway dancer down on her luck; she ultimately returns back to her hometown and is recruited to train a group of young dancers for a big competition. Shiloh stars as ‘Ruby,’ a shy, hardworking girl who becomes the stage manager. To prepare for the role, Shiloh underwent a month of dance training alongside her co-stars. Working alongside Sofia Carson, she received amazing acting advice from the veteran actress, who taught her to always be present on set, even if you aren’t on camera.

Shiloh Nelson has an impressive resume of film and television at such a young age. Her breakout role came in the Sony film “Mom’s Night Out” alongside Patricia Heaton. That same year, she starred in Disney’s film “Tomorrowland.” At five-years-old, she transitioned into horror to star in the box office hit film “Annabelle.” Aside from film, she has starred in a slew of television shows including “NCIS,” “Criminal Minds,” and “Grandfathers” alongside John Stamos. She also recently voiced the role of ‘Keia’ in the Disney Channel animated series “Puppy Dog Pals.”

The Portland, Oregon, native describes herself as quirky, energetic, and fun. She loves channeling her comedic side and when she isn’t acting, she entertains through the TikTok account and YouTube channel that she runs with her older brother. The two siblings create content parodying common things that all siblings go through, with some female empowerment themes to coincide. Both their TikTok and YouTube accounts have soared, with their TikTok boasting around 3.8 million followers and their YouTube garnering 200,000 subscribers.

Shiloh’s favorite subject to study is language and writing because she feels it helps her channel her creativity that she can then transition into her acting. She loves to bake and garden in her free time. She is passionate about being involved with food banks and has previously helped out organizations like Meals on Wheels, Feeding America, and No Kid Hungry. She admires Dwayne Johnson for his all-around work ethic and hopes to one day play the role of a female action star.

How S.W.A.T.'s Carlo Arrechea is Surviving the Quarantine | AfterBuzz TV

How S.W.A.T.'s Carlo Arrechea is Surviving the Quarantine | AfterBuzz TV

Sizzling hot Havana, Cuba-born bilingual actor Carlo Arrechea is a star on the rise in Hollywood, recently making his U.S. prime time debut in the CBS hit TV series S.W.A.T. where he portrayed 'Gio Torres', a middleweight Cuban boxer, aka "The Caribbean King." In the series, Torres is a prize fighter set to win a huge upcoming match when his pregnant wife if kidnapped and held for ransom. He enlists the S.W.A.T. team and works with them to retrieve his wife right in time for the delivery of their first child. The heartfelt role has garnered him much media attention and was one that was especially significant to him as it tied back to his Cuban roots.

A third-generation actor, Arrechea’s career began at the age of 6 when he played the son to his biological mother in a telenovela in his home country of Cuba. He fell in love with the craft and was selected as one of the stars of the children’s show “Los Chicos Altura” (“The High Kids”). In 2002 his family moved to Miami and he faced a culture shock that made him rethink acting. He decided to study psychology in college but dropped out after only one semester to return to his true passion. It was during this time that he got into theater and started receiving a lot of attention for his stage performances including “El Solar de la Palangana de Oro” by Raúl de Cárdenas, a work that opened many doors for him and earned him press coverage as the “new face of acting” by People en Español.

From theater, he jumped into television where he began with small roles in well-known Telemundo and Univision telenovelas such as "Más saber el diablo", "El Cartel 2" and "Alguien te Mira". He also starred in two short films, "Fate's Decree" directed by Michael Ruiz and the super production "El Manantial", with renowned Sam Bradley as director. His career thus began to roll, and his name to be known on the Miami scene. Not long after he was cast in the successful Nickelodeon Latin America series "Grachi" which he starred in for three seasons (152 episodes). It was during this time that he also starred in his first leading film role in the romantic comedy LA REBÚSQUEDA, the highest-grossing Salvadoran film in the country's history.

After his success in Latin America, Arrechea decided to move to Los Angeles to begin his crossover into the U.S. market. Throughout his acting career, he has starred in several television commercials, including the Johnnie Walker national commercial which toasts to immigrants and highlights their grueling path towards citizenship. He is a member of SAG-AFTRA and is an alumnus of the Stella Adler Academy of Acting. As a Cuban-born actor, Arrechea has always looked up to the original Latin Comedy star Desi Arnaz and a dream role for him would be to reprise the role of ‘Ricky Ricardo’ in a comedy series or film.

In his free time Arrechea enjoys reading, meditating, and exercising, and sees every day the opportunity to grow and improve in all aspects. He also enjoys volunteering for The Ronald McDonald House, where he feeds, plays games, and speaks with children and parents who have seriously ill children or family members in hospital.

How Singer Jac Ross is Surviving the Quarantine | AfterBuzz TV

How Singer Jac Ross is Surviving the Quarantine | AfterBuzz TV

In a time when change is needed more than ever, the enigma Jac Ross emerges carrying enough pain to incite cultural change and the love to remind us we’re all the same. For Jac Ross, his soul-stirring vocals are deeper than the ears that hear them. The sounds of his voice tell the stories of struggle and success, but most importantly impress a glimmer of hope in the hearts of those who witness his silky and powerful harmonies. Jac Ross embodies the iconic voices that shifted culture with songs such as “What’s Going On?”, “Change Is Gonna Come”, ”Strange Fruit”, “Fight The Power” and “The Blacker The Berry”. Singing upbuilding lyrics that advocate for cultural, social, and political issues, the vocal agent of change draws from the struggle of his own life experiences, almost like a Ta-Nehisi Coates-esque novel to deliver riveting engaging music that represents his community. Raised in the small town of Live Oak, FL, Ross’ adoration for music emanated from a bevy of factors. Exposed to an array of iconic soul and r&b singers, paired with the influence of his father’s career as a preacher, Ross’ precocious talent was nurtured at the early age of five. Though he came from a very strict household, Ross’ parents skillfully cultivated his talents by allowing him to dictate his own pace and tempo as a musician. As the self-taught pianist was polishing his craft in high school, he later bloomed finding interest in basketball, earning some attention to play on the collegiate level. Ross’ decision to decline those offers was due to his faith, love and confidence in his musical prowess. After completing high school, the determined musician gave himself seven years to make it in the music industry. During his seven-year climb, Ross’ journey was an arduous one. Ross’ hardships included recording in the dining room of his house, his child being born with a paralyzed arm — to his family being evicted to pay for their daughter’s surgery. Still, despite those colossal setbacks, Ross’ unwavering faith served as the vehicle to his glorious comeback. The self-proclaimed “Faith Dealer” noticed his luck changing when his co-writer Mezo, encountered R&B savant, Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins at a mall in Florida. After an exchange of emails, Jerkins fortuitously opened the one which included Ross’ song “Gotta Be Mine.” Mesmerized by Ross’ spellbinding vocals, Jerkins asked for the rising singer to come visit him in- person for a meeting at his Orlando home. There, Ross delivered a riveting rendition of Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come” and an original song he crafted called “Freedom.” Enthralled by Ross’ musical makeup, Jerkins elected to sign the singer to his label Darkchild Records and work with him on his debut EP. After recording a whopping 88 songs, he and Jerkins began shopping around at different labels in hopes of finally finding a home. In 2019, Darcus Beese, President of Island Records personally signed the singer and now, Ross looks to shake the world with his debut project in 2020. Off to a speedy beginning, the emerging talent has already captured the attention of Ms. Cathy Hughes, founder and chairperson of Urban One Inc., who handpicked the crooner to open Urban One Honors, a televised special. The standing ovation received from cultural heavy hitters such as, Jamie Foxx, Billy Porter, Missy Elliott, Brandy, Chance the Rapper and others on his debut tv performance— speaks to Ross’s unique ability to capture audiences and his music that uplifts people of all ages. With more to come from Jac Ross, he has already begun to cement his place as the premier artist to watch going into the next decade.

He graduated pre-med from Columbia University, but instead of attending medical school he sacrificed and risked everything to follow his dreams and moved to Los Angeles from Tampa with only $500 in his pocket to pursue Hollywood greatness. After only a year and a half of putting in sweat and tears in L.A., Rico is available to share his remarkable story of chasing and fulfilling his American dream.

When Rico isn't in front of the camera, he enjoys staying fit and eating healthy. However, at a young age Rico suffered from anorexia. This caused him to be severely bullied as a teenager which led to anxiety and depression. Rico's parents also divorced while he was in high school, and he lived with his mother who was working two full-time entry jobs to make ends meet. Rico then took on the of working and taking care of his family. All his past experiences (good or bad) have caused him to have a very special outlook on life and he takes nothing for granted. Rico sees them as beautiful and inspiring moments in his life that have shaped him into who he is today.   With over 100k followers on Instagram along with soon to be announced acting projects on the horizon, we would love to arrange an interview with you and Rico to discuss his meteoric Hollywood rise, fitness & nutrition tips, and inspiring story to teens and young people everywhere.

Jac Ross, who was discovered by and is working closely with Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, the Grammy-winning producer responsible for some of the most notable pop/R&B songs including "It's Not Right but It's Okay" by Whitney Houston, "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child, "If You Had My Love" by Jennifer Lopez, "Telephone" by Lady Gaga, etc. Jac’s voice is truly soul-stirring, but more so, his music has depth – powerful, thought-provoking, anthemic. It’s the kind that can potentially shift a culture – perhaps a generation. He embodies the iconic voice of some of his predecessors, and perhaps can someday join the pantheon of some of the greatest consciousness-raising American songs: “What’s Going On?,” “Change Is Gonna Come,” ”Strange Fruit,” “Fight The Power” and “The Blacker The Berry.” Singing uplifting lyrics that advocate for cultural, social, and political issues, the artist of change draws from the struggle of his own life experiences and comes with a message of hope – something we all are grasping more than ever. He is signed to Island records, and we are continuing to release music consistently, with an EP on deck. To date, we have released three singles: “It’s Ok To Be Black,” is both unapologetic and inspirational. “Saved” has become a fan favorite, partly due to the current state of our world. Also, this song was recently featured on the March 24th episode of FOX’s hit series EMPIRE.

Music ultimately connected Branson to the tattoo industry. While in high school he discovered the "emo rock" genre that had taken the US by storm and had started a band with friends. Discovering a whole culture within a genre of music truly opened Branson's eyes. He fell in love with the whole aesthetic of the "emo rock" genre and realized many of the artists he was idolizing at the time had tattoos. By the age of 18, Branson already had his first tattoo and was performing at local shows with his band. He would eventually go on to join the band SHATTERPROOF and began touring around the US and doing local shows. When Branson isn't busy designing tattoos, writing and recording new music, or creating new designs for merch, he can be found spending time with is fiancé in Los Angeles, and spending time with his family who still reside in Colorado.
