Rebecca Black, Shaytards and Cimorelli. Do you know any of these names? Housemate Kayleigh does–in fact, she was boots on the ground for one unforgettable era of Youtube. When the platform was the wild west and children recorded songs about Chinese food (yeah, not good) and rife with acapella, Housemate Kayleigh watched avidly from the sidelines. Learn about the now extinct Ark Music Factory and many of the most popular Youtubers of the 2010s–particularly those who dipped their toes into the music industry when they probably should have stayed dry.

Degrassi is one of the longest running tv shows in history, and Jocelyn Claybourne IS The Degrassi Kid. From tweeting actors from the show as a teen to starring in the Degrassi documentary (alongside Drake and other normal stuff) to becoming the number one Degrassi show historian, Jocelyn recounts their friendship with actor Annie Clark & the creator of the show Linda Schuyler –who hosted their 30th birthday party (more totally normal stuff) as well as their experience working on the film, becoming a full time content creator and why Degrassi is a show that everybody should watch.

Gatlin just released her debut album–and she's sieving through the past to bring it to life.
