Budding musicians united for the 4th annual Shine Your Talent show, hosted by grassroots organization Young Inspirations on July 18. Hamilton’s Jessie Bower, 17, received the coveted first-place prize for professional recording time at Noble Street Studios in Toronto. A packed house at Toronto’s Tranzac Club was filled with song as 15 young finalists took to the stage and gave it their all for the judges. Founder Jessica Paiva started Young Inspirations with the intent for young aspiring musicians to find a creative outlet and start a professional music career.
