Testimonials

I was honored to be showcased in the very first issue of Talent Spotlight Magazine when Jessica Gilbert’s long-time-dream magazine launched in November 2010.

I met Jessica indirectly through extremely talented musician M.T. Robison and fell in love from the get-go. She’s such a dynamic force, who wouldn’t love her? When I read about her and her goals, I just had to interview her for our Dream Reachers II book (co-author Chase Von) and was (and still am) impressed. She is the perfect fit for our book since our slogan is: Only those who strive to reach their dreams end up living them.

Jessica is noted around the world for the variety of people she features in her popular online magazine. Some are already famous, but most are up-and-coming talents that Jessica is boosting towards success.

Jessica certainly has an eye for spotting talent and has featured some of my best friends: singer/songwriter Kashy Keegan, songwriter Neil Barlow, jazz singer Monica Chapman, and the great M.T., of course—just to name a very few. Rock on, Jessica

For me, Talent Spotlight Magazine is undoubtedly the leading online publication for championing new and established talent in the arts field. Whereas many online magazines are only interested in generating traffic, selling advertising and writing exploitative stories about the same old celebrities, what makes Talent Spotlight Magazine unique is that they are 100 percent committed to shining the spotlight on real talent and giving recognition where it’s deserved. If you’re interested in discovering new talent or hearing about the next big thing before anyone else does, Talent Spotlight Magazine is the place. It’s always a great read and the one magazine that I know is genuinely all about supporting real talent.

My connection with Jessica predates the publication launch. I have seen Talent Spotlight Magazine from its original design concepts to its present internet reality. In every article or spotlighted artist, Jessica gives interviews that are both factual and entertaining. TSM is a real diamond in journalism. I am proud to have been interviewed, and as well recommended other talent to gleam in Jessica’s magazine spotlight.

Talent Spotlight Magazine is truly a magazine that does the research into each artist to make the interviews and spotlights meaningful and interesting for both the artist and the reader. I have truly enjoyed the interviews I’ve had, and look forward to reading about other musicians and discovering new music through thoughtful and insightful questions.

Just like the title says, Talent Spotlight Magazine is comprehensive online magazine featuring art, music, poetry, books, and putting the spotlight on the talents who create them. The interviews are always insightful and it doesn’t matter what forms of art you’re into, you will find something new and exciting there. Jessica Gilbert, the Founder and Publisher of Talent Spotlight Magazine, is a great supporter of the arts and her vision to give artists a place to shine is written all over the website. I am thankful to have been on the receiving end of her kind support. So much to explore and discover on the website, and with each visit I’m always so pleased to be introduced to yet another talent.

I have been following Jessica’s Talent Spotlight magazine for several years since meeting her on MySpace. The magazine is wonderful and showcases new emerging talent and established artists in many different genres of the arts. Her interviews are always interesting, informative and fun. Because of her interviews, I am a fan of many new and upcoming artists. Jessica has the unique ability to be tuned in to the pulse of current and exciting artists, which is something special in this age of new technology where there are more artists than ever before. I don’t know how she does it, but I hope she continues for many more years.

I was honoured to have been interviewed by Jessica in her excellent Talent Spotlight Magazine a couple of years ago. TSM is an excellent, professionally designed magazine that gives new talent and unsigned artists exposure and promotion that many struggle to achieve in this record company’s dominated music world. Many of the wonderfully talented artists that have been featured in TSM have grown and have artistically prospered thanks to the exposure that they received through TSM!

Jessica is to be commended for her tireless work in seeking out to expose through Talent Spotlight Magazine so many talented artists that perhaps we would never have otherwise discovered. I for one have read with interest so many interesting and informative interviews and features in TSM, and it shouldn’t be forgotten that TSM is a free online magazine and really is a labour of love that Jessica is dedicated to producing. Each magazine is superb quality, and full of great features and articles. I recommend everyone to read Talent Spotlight Magazine.
