Bio:

My names Lizzie Gilchrist, I’m 28, I’ve suffered from multiple sclerosis for 10 years and now have to use a wheelchair full time. Just over a year ago I got a chance to model for www.wheeliechix-chic.com. Before that Id never even thought about modeling, but I enjoyed that so much I’ve continued trying to pursue this path. So far I haven’t had many paid jobs, but I’m hoping that now I’m a bit more experienced more opportunities will come my way.

I’m a friendly, sweet natured, kind and considerate individual and I consider myself to be a people person who strives to get on with anyone I meet.  I am conscientious and work hard to make a positive contribution to anyone I work for or with. I consider myself to be a fast learner and someone who likes to take on new tasks and challenges. A couple of years ago I did a charity skydive which I thoroughly enjoyed and this has also given me the drive to want to do another one sometime and take on similar challenges such as paragliding, which I’m due to do later this year. I am a very determined individual and do my best not to let my disability hold me back with anything I want to do.

Bio:

“Throw your words at me, I’ll have my way with them,” mocks young and sharp-tongued singer, guitarist and songwriter, Alexx Calise.

Delivering a sound that is both fresh and uniquely her own, Calise combines hard rock, electronica, and urban-edged pop with crunchy guitars, angsty lyrics, and an instantly identifiable vocal that is hauntingly beautiful and completely raw all at once.

Calise grew up in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where she spent her childhood mostly alone or in the pages of a notebook, finding comfort only in her parents’ vast record collection, which included everything from Mozart to Led Zeppelin. At 11, she picked up the guitar to emulate her father, also a talented musician, and began fusing the melodies she heard in her head with her own poetry and recitations.

Now living in Los Angeles, California and continuing along the same path, Calise is endorsed by over 13 music gear/clothing manufacturers, she has appeared in several national TV commercials, shows and special programs (including the Discovery Channel documentary, “The Science of Sex Appeal”), and she has been featured in Blender magazine, Guitar World, and the how-to/method book, “How to Succeed as a Female Musician” alongside such notable musicians as Lisa Loeb and The Donnas. Her music is in heavy rotation on MTV/VH1 Networks, and on thousands of radio stations internationally. Most recently, Alexx’s song, “Morning Pill” was used in a One Tree Hill promo, she appeared as the lead guitarist for a Disney Imagineering DVD about soundwaves,  and she was featured on Boston’s #1 Hit Station, Kiss 108 FM as a “hot up-and-coming indie artist.”

Currently, Calise is recording the follow-up to her 2007 critically-acclaimed debut album, Morning Pill, as well as her debut album with other music project, Sound of Cancer (with accomplished drummer/songwriter, Dennis Morehouse). Both albums will be released simultaneously in January of 2010.
