The Art Is Life Issue

It’s hard to think of a time when I wasn’t using art to express myself growing up. Whether I was making mediocre sci-fi films on iMovie or drawing makeover sketches on my notepads, art has always been the easiest way for me to share my perspective. My appreciation for art and artists has only strengthened as I’ve gotten older. In this issue, singer Dreamer Boy shares how music has played an integral part in his life and discusses the influences behind his incredible album Lonestar. We also hear from stylists, graphic designers, photographers, and more how they’ve built connections to their art form and strengthened their skills. I hope this issue ignites or reignites your artistic passions and encourages you to see the beauty in the everyday.

NYOTA STAR POWER

From its inception, NYOTA has focused on featuring emerging stars in music, fashion, and culture that should be on your radar. In 2018, we began publishing Star Power issues to give our readers a more in-depth look at up-and-coming stars in a way that NYOTA quarterly issues could not. We have decided to discontinue creating Star Power issues, but you can read our last two issues below.

Dreamer Boy

Fresh off the heels of his Summer in America Tour, Dreamer Boy is reflecting on his third studio album, Lonestar, and the influences behind it. The singer-songwriter talked to NYOTA about his evolution as an artist, what can come out of the other side of discomfort, and creating his rodeo clown persona.

Kenzie Welch

Kenzie Welch has restored people’s self-confidence through her work as a stylist by pursuing her true passion of connecting with real people and bringing their dream style to life. Welch talked to NYOTA about building an eye for style, her viral makeover series, and building relationships with brands.

Elisha Zepeda

Elisha Zepeda, a book cover designer based in the Pacific Northwest, has gained traction for his work after he started sharing his process and unused book cover designs on TikTok.
