january 2021 artist spotlight:

Michael Markiewicz was born in 1986 and raised in Staten Island, New York. Michael is truly a survivor. At the young age of 16, Michael was diagnosed with cancer, which caught him and his family by surprise. After two surgeries and a ninety six percent chance the cancer would not return, it returned to his right lung. Michael started chemotherapy on his 17th birthday. After a year-long battle with testicular cancer and an additional surgery, he was pronounced cancer-free. Michael has always believed he was given a second chance at life for a reason, and vowed to never take that for granted. He always had a love for the entertainment business, but had no idea how, or what to do, to get started. Starting from the ground floor, Michael began studying legends such as Bette Davis, and Humphrey Bogart; and also looking to legendary entertainment businessmen, Walt Disney as inspiration. With a clear understanding of his path, Michael began taking jobs as an extra because he knew it would be a great opportunity to study how film and television operate, not only on camera, but behind the scenes as well. One of Michael’s first jobs was a small part in Mr. Steven Spielberg’s film War of the Worlds. Michael then began submitting his resume to student and independent films through Backstage and Craigslist. He gained a wealth of knowledge collaborating with students from NYU and the New York Film Academy learning every facet of what goes into making content. Michael began studying with New York acting coach Penny Templeton. Shortly thereafter, Michael made his producing debut on the feature film The Reunion which featured The Sopranos star Joseph Gannascoli. Working his way through the entertainment business, Michael was scouted and placed with one of the biggest Modeling agencies in the world, Wilhelmina Models. Soon thereafter, Michael booked a leading role as Joseph Caruso in the feature film Joe’s War which starred acting legends Armand Assante, Ed Asner, and Tom Sizemore. Additionally, Michael starred in the TV Land series Forever Young produced by Ashton Kutcher.  Michael has guest starred on the hit NBC show The Blacklist portraying the character “Lonnie Perkins;” Netflix’s Jessica Jones playing the role of “Ken;” and STARZ’s original series POWER playing the role of “Arnost.” Michael has also starred in the MASTERCARD Stand Up To Cancer campaign which aired nationally and internationally. Michael is represented by Loch Powell of Power Entertainment Group.

For Boston native Sariah, finding her voice of bravery was a process, not an event. Her music has inspired audiences from listening rooms in her current home, New York City, as well as crowded dance floors in the UK. Sariah’s collaboration with Grammy-winner Dave Audé “Aware, Alive, Awake” hit #23 on the Billboard Dance Chart. A series of successful remixes followed with Hype Machine favorites such as Reuben Keeney, as well as a collaboration with YouTuber Sam Tsui (their cover of Pharrell's Happy has over 2 million views), all of it empowering Sariah and encouraging her to raise her voice, to do something more.

Additionally, Sariah is spreading a message of female empowerment and awareness through her inspiring BRAVE concert series. BRAVE is a celebration of female strength through music, the show features all female performers on stage, with all proceeds donated to the Covenant House in Guatemala specifically. The Covenant House is an international support organization, and at the Guatemala location they focus on assisting women and children who have been victims of sex trafficking.

Sariah is also thrilled to be an executive for @daddyjackrecords! Be sure to follow this incredible talent at @sariahmusicnow! 
​
Tune in December 17th at 6pm ET for an Instagram Live Q&A with Sariah!

NOVEMBER ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: SANDRA LUZ OTERO


“My name is Sandra Luz Otero. I’m a seasoned addiction specialist and a mixed media artist.  My relationship with art began as early as age nine. I recall sitting on my bed and sketching everyday objects like a raincoat hanging on a vintage closet.  In school I excelled in all art classes and was encouraged by teachers to choose this as a career path.  Instead I went down another path and I went the road of Human Services. I pursued state licensing and education specializing in addictions. As a result, art took a back seat in my life.  
It wasn’t until my 30’s that I decided to put color back into my life. I began experimenting with different mediums and participated in a few community art exhibits.  However, it wasn’t until the tragic loss of my mother that I began to explore painting as an outlet for emotions. My creations became abstract, wild and outside the lines. I would work and rework pieces with layers of what I see now as a storm of feelings on canvas. I discovered a new way of doing art which was spontaneous and authentic. It’s as if something in me was set free to express through paint what I couldn’t in words.  
This journey has brought me to where I am today. During the recent COVID-19 lock-down I began to rethink my life and decided to take a leap of faith. I began to create pieces and showcase them on social media.  I created an Instagram business account for art and now working on developing an ETSY shop branded “SLO Studios Art”. One of my favorite sayings is “it’s never too late to be what you might’ve been”.   My hope is to spread joy, color, inspiration and hope through this gift birthed by God, the Giver of all good gifts!”
