It GiRL August 2014

Hello It GiRLs, It's time to bring out the birthday cake and bust out the big balloons because it's our birthday! Yep, It GiRL has officially turned two, so hip, hip hooray to us! The past two years have gone by so quickly, but we've had so much fun putting together every single issue for you. My favourite thing about working on It GiRL (other than meeting lots of cool celebs, of course), is reading all the mail we receive. IG readers write the best letters and emails, and your kind words always make us feel good and inspire us to bring you an even bigger and better issue every month. So from the whole gang here at It GiRL, we just want to say a huge THANK YOU to…

SINGING SONGBIRD While most stars make the natural transition from acting to singing, Bella wanted to wait before she released any music of her own. “I really wanted to work on my voice,” explains Bella. “I’ve never sang before, and I didn’t want to put an album out that I wasn’t proud of. I waited so that I could take a lot of vocal classes, so that I could work on my voice every day.” The hard work paid off because Bella’s debut single, Call It Whatever is a cracker of a track, and it has a super-cute video to boot. “Call It Whatever is my youngest-sounding song,” she says. “It’s for my younger audience, but my album is geared a little bit older.” Multi-Talented Bella Bella has also filmed…

He was home schooled from grade four and also learned to play the guitar, the piano and to sing at a young age. “At school, I really like literature, ‘cause I like words, and I write songs,” says Ross. “My tip for getting good grades is you can’t skim over anything.

Then in 2011 Ross was cast in the…
