Red Silk Carpets Executive Director, I have had the pleasure to meet so many people.. I had the pleasure of meeting ALAN CHAN, The VOICE UK via social media. I began to follow him.

WOW, what incredible talent he has. We were so excited when Alan agreed to do an interview for Red Silk Carpet.

Let's get to know the man behind this big Voice!

by Shelley Pekala

H

ow old were you when you showed

an interest in singing?

Since the age of 10, I have always had music around me and performed with my mother's side of the family, who are all artists in martial arts and Chinese folk music. At the age of 14, I started learning how to sing by studying and listening to many artists and all sorts of bands on tv and radio.

In school, I was regularly bullied, and if I ever fought back, it would make the situation even worse. Forbidden by my uncles to use martial arts on others no matter what, I found the only way to fight back was to sing and entertain. I then entered the annual talent contest, which all secondary schools in the local district compete.

After performing 'Ride it' by Jay Sean, 'Thong Song' by Sisqo, and 'End Of The Road' by Boyz II Men, I won 1st prize of the contest, and a few weeks later, the bullying in my school eventually stopped, and I was able to live in peace. Š Red Silk Carpet August 2020

What genre of music do you prefer to listen too?

What style is your favorite to sing?

I continuously listen to Rock, Reggae, Death Metal, Jazz, Chinese Classical, Bangra, African, and Dance. I love singing Rock, Reggae, and Contemporary Jazz.

Could you share with us how your journey began on The Voice UK?

I was in my music theory class at the university I attend (ACM) Academy of Contemporary Music.

The Voice UK came to audition vocalist on site.

My tutor Scott Mc Gill dared me to go for the audition in front of the whole class for almost two hours. I did not want to do it because I thought it would be a waste of time.

However, he insisted that I had nothing to lose, so I agreed to go. When I went upstairs to the demo theatre, the Voice representative stated that any auditions would have needed to apply 3 weeks ago on their application online.

Š Red Silk Carpet August 2020

Then I told her what my tutor was doing in class, she loved the story and stated if someone does not turn up for their audition, I could take their spot and I got in.

A

fter a 10min

audition and two weeks waiting, I got through to the 1st callback. Then 2nd and 3rd callbacks. After mu ch traveling around

London for interviews and further auditions, I was selected from

approx. 80,000 applicants around the UK, Wales, and Ireland, to be on TV for the Blind auditions. Š Red Silk Carpet August 2020

I was 1 of 100 who got through to the Blinds, winning the Battle rounds, and reaching the Knockouts quarterfinals.

between, Will.I.Am, Meghan Trainer, Sir Tom Jones. I would have to say my favorite is Olly Murs, because he turned around his chair for me, and coached me to the Knockouts quarter-finals.

How has the COVID pandemic changed your singing career?

Covid-19 has been a challenging time for the whole world, It may affect my music career in the near future with further delays, but it will not stop me from my progression. As long as I am willing to work, my family and I will survive.

I have just graduated from (ACM) university this year. My career is delayed, but all will happen in good time.

Introduction – by Sir Anthony Seldon 10 Downing Street, the locale of British prime ministers since 1735, vies with the White House as the most important political building anywhere in the world in the modern era. Behind its black door have been taken the most important decisions affecting Britain

for the last 275 years.

In the 20th century alone, the First and Second World Wars were directed from within it, as were the key decisions about the end of the empire, the building of the British nuclear bomb, the handling of economic crises from the Great Depression in 1929 to the great recession, and the

Š Red Silk Carpet August 2020

building up of the welfare state.

Some of the most famous political figures of modern history have lived and worked in Number 10, including Robert Walpole, Pitt the Younger, Benjamin Disraeli, William Gladstone, David Lloyd George, Winston Churchill, and Margaret Thatcher.

Number 10 has 3 overlapping functions. It is the official residence of the British Prime Minister: it is their office.

It is also the place where the Prime Minister entertains guests from Her Majesty The Queen to presidents of the United States and other world leaders. The Prime Minister hosts countless receptions and events for a whole range of British and overseas guests, with charitable receptions

high up the list.

The building is much larger than it appears from its frontage. The hall with the chequered floor immediately behind the front door lets on to a warren of rooms and staircases. The house in Downing Street was joined to a more spacious and elegant building behind it in the early 18th century. Number 10 has also spread itself out to the left of the front door

Š Red Silk Carpet August 2020

and has taken over much of 12 Downing Street, which is accessed by a corridor that runs through 11 Downing Street – the Chancellor's official residence Exchequer.

Rebecca had never spent much time in front of a camera, but the allure to test her physical and mental limits appealed to her competitive nature.

She also loves working out, so the physical aspect of the competition came naturally to her.

Miss Multiverse Australia is available worldwide on Amazon Prime and Tubi.

Making the top 10, came as a massive shock to Rebecca, who says that the emotion of it all, brought her to tears, as she felt pure pride in how much effort she put into the competition.

The Miss Multiverse Australia Journey Spending so much time with the other contestants and the different personality types really prompted Rebecca to self-reflect and say that the experience taught her so much about herself. On the whole, she got along with all the contestants however bonded well with Lucinda and Brooke.

Š Red Silk Carpet August 2020

Rebecca recounts clicks formed early in the competition, and some of the girls weren't very open to getting to know the girls outside of their circles. Still, she attributes this to the different personality types and ages of the contestants.

As part of the competition, the girls had to do their own photoshoots and get sponsors, two things that she admits being inexperienced at, and the thought of approaching brands was quite daunting. But she says even she surprised herself with how well she pulled the tasks off.

She claims the most challenging part of the competition was the team activity where she had to work with a fellow contestant to create a business. However, she really enjoyed the fitness challenges and prepping for the photoshoots.

With her dreams of being in front of the camera, Serena put Miss Multiverse Australia on her wish list, as a steppingstone into the world of acting and

But she knew she had to see her dreams through, recalling childhood memories of living out these dreams by playing with her Barbies who she set up beauty pageants for.

We came up with designer masks right before the lockdown and are still doing some exotic pieces. But this is more of a breakthrough. These face covers can actually be a part of your garments and otherwise too.

Also, taking over the PPE kit is a convertible belt where hidden plastic suit with printed and applique set is hidden. Comes with ventilator filters.

The cool stylish bomber whose oversized collar turns into a threelayer face cover. It can be detached to your needs. We have an interesting wraparound style for ease.

The lapel jackets are the rage in both the sexes. A perfect lapel party wear jacket can also create that oomph and safety. It gets closed with its inbuilt mask.

Š Red Silk Carpet August 2020

Creativity doesn't end here. The mask can be a dual utility too. You can turn it into a mini pouch to keep your jewelry safe etc. The fashion gloves can be reusable with a layer of disposable ones inside. The list goes on. These new innovations help the fashion world to survive and excel.

M E E TA D U T TA A Multi-faceted Per sonality

by Saif Rahman Sozib Meeta Dutta, an advocate by profession practicing principally at the Gauhati High Court at Guwahati, Assam, India, is a social activist by a mission and an actor by passion.

Meeta is also associated with Cadence Theatre Mumbai, India, and is a well-known face in various fields.

She has been voicing her independent opinion about multiple areas of concern in this period of different versions of COVID19 restrictions. Be it due to 'Lockdown' or 'Unlock' phases, or especially about her dismay at the recent tragic incidents in Bollywood or other areas.

Many people have shockingly succumbed to the pressures of the present times and collapsed under the sheer discrimination perpetrated upon them by a few insensitive and intolerant sections of our society.

She has made her debut as a director, scriptwriter, and actor with her own

short films. Namely 'Green Tree' and 'Black Coat,' which dealt with a couple of burning and contemporary issues.

These endeavors have won her the Best Motivational Films at the recently and virtually held LOSFFA Awards 2020 on 20th June 2020, organized

by Bhardwaj Films Production India. The said awards conferred upon her were in recognition of the appropriateness of the subjects brought by her into both the short films and the simplicity with which they were executed—delivering direct messages of absolute importance backed up by thoroughly natural performances enacted by her in them.

The program was presented live from the Facebook page of Bhardwaj Films Production India.

Artists from all over India had participated in the said short film festival.

The films mainly selected are based on the effect of Š Red Silk Carpet August 2020

the common man's lives due to the global pandemic lockdown.

However, different from the current subjects, but their content was so arresting that they were duly appreciated. Some children's films also were so heart-touching and that they were chosen as well.

A total of forty films were shortlisted, out of which twenty-eight got their due recognition and were thereby befittingly honored in various categories.

The jury had luminaries, like Writer-Director Shri Dilip Shukla, who was the Script Writer of super-hits films like 'Mohra,' 'Andaz Apna Apna' etc., Mrs. Nandita Puri W/o Late Actor Om Puri and the Chairman of Jharkhand International Film Festival Shri Rishi Prakash Mishra, Shri Deepak Dua, etc. from the Bollywood Film Industry.

In an exclusive interview with Saif Rehman Sozib, Meeta Dutta graciously agreed to divulge some tasty scoops about 'Black Coat' and 'Green Tree,' disclosing inside details about how she crafted them.

All this happened during the lockdown period at her native city of Guwahati when she came across a post on Facebook mentioning that the LOSSFA Awards online short film festival was going to take place.

She said, "Some ideas came to me, and thereupon I tried my best to give shape to them in the form of a script. The most challenging part here was that I had to draft meaningful scripts for the two shorts, which had to be enacted between 1 to 5 minutes, each following the guidelines laid down by

the organizer.

Moreover, these had to be solo acts due to lockdown at my city; I couldn't have inducted co-actors into them. I conveyed this to my husband, who encouraged me to no end, and we ended up shooting the short films on our camera. I was really excited to play the part of the films' writer, director, and actor but was slightly apprehensive too, this being my first attempt at such an effort".

Speaking about Meeta's character and looks in both these films. She is a fashionista too, and she loves to experiment a lot with her looks on camera, she said, "I kept my performance very simple in both the films. The topics of both the films were such that there was not much scope for innovation, and the script didn't permit that either, very short films as they were.

Š Red Silk Carpet August 2020

One film deals with most lawyers due to the lockdown, and the other dealt with the threat to our environment due to deforestation and how we should go all out for afforestation. Both the topics are extremely close to my heart".

When she was asked about her future plans and whether she had plans to work in the Bollywood film industry, she spoke, "Given a chance, I would love to foray into suitable Bollywood openings!

But the roles, whenever offered, have to be something that I am comfortable doing.

Coming from a family that was once connected with the film industry in a big way, I would love very much to be a part of that industry and view it as a resurrection of sorts !"

How did you get started?

I had always been passionate about modeling right from childhood but never had enough time and right platforms to explore my passions until my high school vacation in 2016.

This gave me time to pursue what I always wanted. So I started by contesting for Miss Tourism Karamoja, where I emerged the best and went on for National competitions where I attained the second runner up position for Miss Tourism Uganda.

It’s from this time when everything started unfolding for me in the modeling and tourism industry.

What do you like about what you do?

What I do gives me a platform to be able to help vulnerable people which is in line with my

passion. Exposure through traveling and meeting new people-skill development.

What do you dislike?

There is a lot of judgment and miss understanding from our societies.

Getting exposed to the wrong agencies that don’t value what you value.

How do you make money, or how are you compensated?

Most of the work I do is voluntary, which doesn’t pay. However, I do make some money from selling my crafts. I am privileged to still be receiving financial support from my parents. Once in a while, I get transport refunds and a small allowance from the development and motivational activities that I participate in.
