“One of the first people I spotted was Brendon McQuaid who was quietly strumming his guitar in front of the registration area. After approaching him, I learned that it was his sister Alyssa McQuaid who was auditioning and he and their super nice mom, Valerie, were there for moral support. The family had travelled from Lethbridge for the auditions (Alyssa also auditioned in the past and received a yellow ticket last year). I will be contacting them to find out what happened later in the audition process. In the meantime, check out Brendon and Alyssa’s MySpace page for their band “Contrast.” Read more: http://crushable.com/entertainment/canadian-idol-the-calgary-auditions/#ixzz25wpJWtOY”

“ALYSSA MCQUAID We are thrilled to have created a collaborative relationship with Alyssa McQuaid! The beautiful and gifted Alyssa came into NSTAAB’s world when Kelly was searching for general bullying information, and came across Alyssa’s award winning video, for the Alberta Ministry of Education’s Stand Up and Stop Bullying Contest. Alyssa’s spirit moves her to use her gifts in a variety of volunteer activities. She was a founding member of a local YWCA girls club program called GirlSpace,a mentorship program for young girls. ”

Questions

Ask Alyssa McQuaid anything...

Q: If you could collaborate with one person and one person only who would it be and why?

A: If I could collaborate with one person it would be Taylor Swift. I think that she is an incredible song-writer who write stories from her heart, and that is what I want to do with my music. :)
