Jᴀᴄǫᴜᴇs Bᴇᴀᴜʀᴇɢᴀʀᴅ, 33, Oᴡɴᴇʀ ᴏғ LA Rᴇᴄᴏʀᴅs, Mᴀʟᴇ,Hᴏᴍᴏsᴇxᴜᴀʟ
──────────────────────────────────────────
Jacques was born just over 33 years ago to a French couple in the town of Calais but he didn't spend all his childhood there. The childhood he did spend in France were some of the best years of his life so far. As a young baby he was fussy and would never settle unless his mother held him constantly and if she passed him to his father he would scream the roof down but as he got older he grew more attached to his father as his father wad the one who showed him how to kick a ball and when he learnt to walk his father was the one who helped pick him back up. Jacques got older and it was soon time for him to start school and as was usual for the Beauregard Heir he was sent to a private school on the edge of the town. Jacques liked it their and quickly made friends. His grades were good but his real love was music and he was good at it much to the surprise of his parents who didn't have a musical bone in their body.
His father was a wealthy business man and as such moved his young family to America so he could be in closer contact with his clients and unknown to the rest of his family his mistress as well. Jacques took this move in stride as at the time he was 11 years old and while he missed his friends, he was happy for the change but the real problems came when he started school as he only spoke fluent French and not so fluent Italian from where they had summered there over the years. The kids at his new school made fun of him and called him things he didn't understand but he didn't cry or break down not even at home through he did shout at his mother about ignorant Americans. So on his off day's his father set about teaching his only son English. Jacques didn't pick it up quickly and it took nearly a year but finally he could speak and write it and his grades went up again. The children at school still made fun of him because of the fact he had a French accent but he just ignored them and focused on music and picking his grades up again now he could understand what was happening in the lesson.
A couple of years later and his younger sister was born. The child was beautiful with her pretty green eyes and light blonde hair and Jacques immediately swore to protect her with his life. He made sure to protect this child with everything he had so she didn't have to suffer. His schooling was much the same as ever- the kids in his class hadn't warmed up to him but he just ignored them. High school didn't change anything school wise for Jacques through he did decided against pursuing music. But his personal life changed drastically. His father had been caught cheating on his mother and it devastated the young teen, who had always looked up to his father. The break up in the marriage ended up with both children living with their father because their mother had turned to the bottle. Jacques never really got along with his father after that especially not after his father called him a "Fag" after having caught him with a boy after going out to a party.
After his high school graduation he got accepted into Harvard Business School which he graduated from with honours. It was then he started up his label with a loan from his father. At first it didn't seem to be very successful but it soon took off after signing some big names in the pop world. Jacques had created his safe haven for artists and tried to sign as many talented artists as he could and get their music out their for the world. Of course some weren't cut out for it and he had to let them go. Over the years the label ahs just grown biggest and bigger and he expanded from just pop music to rock, country, rap, r&b, alternate even punk and techno.
However his personal life suffered and until about 3 months ago, he hadn't had a hook up in about 4 years. He has recently started seeing someone but he doubts they would be able to withstand thee pressure of his lifestyle with its all hour schedule, the parties, the drinking and most of all the cruel side of him that he displayed to his artists when they were failing the label.

A fun-loving, typical class clown, Mitchell is full of humour and fun. Never taking things too seriously, he is always so happy and bubbly, and one of the most friendliest people you will ever meet. Thoughtful and caring also, he is the perfect boyfriend, and will spoil any girl rotten because of his love for her. It is unusual however for him to have a girlfriend, because he doesn't go for anyone and instead waits until the perfect girl. He is passionate about his music, and likes to connect with people through it, not seeing the point in meaningless words but instead meaning. Mitchell is also very inquisitive and intelligent, with good grades and a positive outlook on life, who finds negative and pessimistic people annoying.

Mitchell was born in Toronto, Canada, the only son of three children of Nina and Michael Cassidy - his parents. As the only son, he got extra special attention from his father, who wanted him to be a well-known footballer or sports coach, as Michael was the host on some of Canada's top sports channels. However, Mitchell always knew from the beginning that he wanted to sing, and would sing in his bedroom and put on performances for his family. Although his father didn't want that for his son's life, he still supported him and so did the rest of his family. At high school, Mitchell got incredibly high grades in Drama, Music and Musical Theatre. At 16, he entered a small singing competition, winning and getting the prize of moving to Hollywood where he could pursue his dreams. He decided to take up the offer and move to Hollywood, where he ended up getting signed on. From there he eventually got more and more successful.

Lillian was born in New York city, to parents Alyssa and Brian Hart. She was always going to shows and seeing performances, and because of this, she fell in love with music at a young age. So, her parents signed her up for piano and singing lessons. She was good at it, too--some people would say she was gifted. As a young child, she got a few child roles in broadway productions, which sparked her love for actually performing and singing live. For all her life, Lillian has been in love with music and performing. "Singer" quickly became her dream job.
And Lily was raised to be persistent and follow her dreams. So, she kept up her grades in school, and started learning guitar, since she knew piano pretty well. She had stopped doing stage performances, because she wasn't the right age bracket for many roles, and also didn't really have the time for it, but she continued with music and drama through high school, which was an arts school. By the time she was seventeen, Lillian had talked to her music teacher about wanting to get signed at a record label in LA and make an album, hopefully be successful at multiple occasions.
This teacher knew someone at LA Records who was in New York at the time, and asked them to a school event Lily was performing at. It seemed to be as simple as that--as soon as she graduated a few months later, she moved to LA, got signed, and started working on her album, which was a huge success. It's all been uphill since then.
Lily is generally a very likeable person: she's talkative, optimistic, and loves trying new things. If she can tell that someone's feeling uncomfortable or awkward, she'll do her best to make them comfortable. However, she doesn't have many close friends, as she doesn't trust people very easily. She's also very stubborn and will hold to her opinions unless absolutely proven wrong, which can be a bit of a problem for her public image.❝What would life be?❞❝Without a song or a dance, what are we?❞

Josie would be called the class clown and that sarcastic friend that always seems to have something to say. She tends to be very open with what she says, usually speaking her mind. She doesn't really care about what people think of her and if she has a problem with someone, she'll address it. Next, Josie is very sarcastic and funny. It seems like every other word out of her mouth is filled with sarcasm or some sort of joke. This tends to lead people to believe that she can't take anything serious which is a lie. Josie is a very serious person when she needs to be. Her caring side comes out and she will protect anyone with her life. Also, Josie has a short fuse. Her anger is one of her low points and it only really comes out when someone just pisses her off, bullies others, or annoys her.
Josie was born on a stormy evening in Queens, New York. Her parents were loving and kind, but like most people in New York, had a tough exterior. Josie developed this at a young age, being the girl to stand up for the weak and often getting into fights with the bullies. She graduated college with honors and majored in computer science and minored in music development. She moved to LA after hoping to find something, but still misses the harshness of New York very much. She found a job at LA Records quite easily but often times, her abrasiveness will ruin many chances for her. Most people say that she isn't cut out for the LA life but she is very willing to prove them wrong.

He was born to parents who both had careers that were starting to take off and so they gave him up for adoption and a lesbian couple took him in. They loved him as if he was their own flesh and blood and to them he was but they were both trying to break through into the performance industry and not having much success which strained the relationship between the couple but they made do. Quinn's asoptive parents gave up on finding success and dedicated there time to raising their son, hoping he would have better luck than they did in life.
Quinn was home-schooled for the majority of his school life and only actually went to school for his senior year. He struggled to make friends in an environment were everyone was in cliques and while it was no small town school, everyone seemed to know each other from somewhere and the newbie in his preppy clothes stood out. But his confidence soon won people over and he became fairly popular even his coming out the closet didn't turn people away but that may be because of his slightly ruthless streak.
After graduating High School, he attended Yale University for a year before realising it wasn't for him and swapped to Brown where he completed a double major in Music and Business. His college years were reckless and fun but he made sure to study so he could graduate with honours even if he did spend most of his time sleeping his way round the campus.
Upon graduating, he grew up a little bit especially when he got his first job with a record label in New York and stopped sleeping with everything that moved, through that didn't stop him having flings. After being the man who successfully got five new artists to the top of the charts with number one singles and platinum albums, he got a call from LA Records, one of the most famous labels in the country about a job offer. He accepted right away and became the manager of one of their struggling singers. He soon got them producing hit singles and his most recent job is as the manager to an up and coming songwriter which is a bit different to the jobs he normally does but he is up for the challenge. Along with his move to LA came a move in his personal life- he started regularly sleeping with Jayden- a successful young artist, one of the many LA Records claims to fame and success. At the moment Quinn is trying to keep it on the down low because while he can see the young man is crushing on him, he knows what it will do to his career if it got out. Anyway it's not like he was going to stick around for ever- they were friends with benefits for a reason.

Eliza's skin is mostly recognised as alabaster seeing as it's so pale some question it's ability to hold pigmentation, and sets a startling contrast with her dark chestnut hair, which is in fact a bottle job. Her limbs are long and slender, giving off the impression that they go on for miles and have taken place in many a young man's dream. Her neck is long itself with many comparing it to that of a swan which is something she's self-concious about. She tends to wear clothes that cling to her curves, as her breasts are surprisingly large for a girl her shape, as her bra cup is a 32F then her hips swell giving this female the much sought after hour-glass figure.▽ ▽boisterous ━━━━ { intelligent | hot-tempered | proud }
EJ is a clever little cookie but she's not one of those lucky lot who glance at a book once and retain all the information, no far from it. She's always been a little fiery as well, especially when it comes to her family pride - many have disrespected her family in front of her and many have ran away with their tails between their legs after a few whips of her sharp tongue. Having pretty much raised herself with little to no boundaries Eliza seemed to develope the boisterous trait herself, making sure her voice and opinions are heard as well as making sure she has a good time.p r o s }

With her mother's fixation on being recognised as a film star it wasn't hard to see she was more focused on herself than the young daughter she was 'raising'. Hitting eighteen Eliza realised the life she dreamed for wasn't going to happen if she stayed lurking around the wet old Fife, so boarded the first plane to America and let her voice and guitar feed, shelter and protect her. She's not quite there yet but her name is now getting recognised and who knows perhaps our little EJ Woods will hit the big time in spite of all those who doubted her talents and will to thrive.relations }

──────────────────────────────────────────
Abelie is a girl with a past- one that she tries to keep hidden if possible. She was born 20 years ago to a couple who didn't want children and more than that were still children themselves at 15 and 17 years old and they now were burdened with two. Abelie was an easy baby who was always cheerful and never cried. Her parents raised Abelie and her brother the best they could for a couple of years before passing them off to their parents who looked after her but she wasn't their own child, just the child that had ruined their babies lives and forced them to get married. So they never treated her properly, often leaving her on her own for hours at a time. After a couple of years Abelie's grandparents refused to look after her anymore and kicked the young family out. For the first time in their lives Abelie's parents had to stand on their own two feet.
For the first two months the family was fine, they were fine. Abelie's mother, Clara, had a job working as a cashier in some small store in a hick town in the state of Tennessee and her father, Will, worked as a mechanic but things changed when Clara lost her job. The family didn't have enough money to cover the food bill or pay for new clothes for their constantly growing daughter. For a couple used to privilege this was new and they didn't adapt well. Clara took her anger out on her little girl often leaving her broken and bruised and Will was working all hours just to pay the bills. Abelie hadn't even started school et and when the social worker came round to see why, Clara just told them she was homeschooling her little girl and they believed her not wanting to look closer at the little girls haunted eyes. A few months later Will put his foot down and took their child to school one morning before work. She was put in the same year as most of her peers but she couldn't even read- thinking she had dyslexia the teacher spent extra time with her but she soon realised it wasn't dyslexia, just that the little girl had never been taught. The teacher gave Abelie afternoon tutoring sessions till she had caught up but it was still hell for the young girl who was bullied by her peers for being dumb and then when she got home her mother used her a her personal punching bag.
But things changed, her father's talent with music was noticed and he was signed to a label. He soon was producing hit albums and the family moved from a small hick town to a penthouse in New York city. Abelie was sent to a private school where she never really excelled in any subject. Her mother was still abusive and her father was never around to see it. But she had grown up. She was able to stand up to her mother now at the age of 15. She had friends and while not great academically she was good at cheerleading and dance which made her a popular girl at school. She helped her school win the cheerleading championship but she was never really happy she just went through the motions- attending parties and being the girl everyone expected her to be.
It was when the family moved to LA, she discovered her love for music and more specifically country music. She met a struggling songwriter at the new label her dad had signed with, he had wondered if she was as talented as her father and goaded her into singing which she did. He was amazed at her voice and worked with her constantly. He let her poor her pain into her music and she was good at it especially slow ballads. Eventually she was signed with LA Records when the owner had heard her singing with the songwriter who had become her boyfriend. She was put in a recording studio and produced her first single- Dark Nights which was about her mother. The song was an instant hit and provided her with success and fans to capitalise her first album on. But before she could record her album tragedy struck - her mother had died in a plane crash. Abelie attended the funeral but was in the studio the next day. She started recording and before she knew it, her first album was done and out on the shelves. It hit platinum and she started touring which started causing problems with her and her boyfriend and turned her relationship into what it is now. He became possessive and jealous especially as he never seemed to hit gold. It didn't help that she had to flirt with men and sometimes date them for publicity.
❝ You won’t last in this business if you’re not assertive. ❞
{ Joanna Barnes ; 30 years ; folk & country singer ; heterosexual ; signed. }❝ I create my own perfection in the face of their rejection. ❞
Charismatic and confident, Joanna Barnes is one of the most loved folk singers nowadays. Her casual, quirky style is liked by both teenagers and adults. Working with Joanna is like trying to ride a bull — she’s pretty stubborn and headstrong from juggling a music career and two children. When she’s working, she only expects the best from everyone, and has high standards for herself. Outside of work, though, she’s patient and friendly, and takes younger or newer artists under her wing.
When she married the famous rock and roll star Samuel T Winchester, both their popularities soared to new heights. They met at an awards ceremony and hit it off, and a year later they were married. Although they appear to be a match made in heaven, Joanna knows it’s not true. She has her own suspicions that her husband isn’t as faithful as he said he’d be, but for now, for her children, she’s not saying anything. She's incredibly protective of them and would do anything to keep them safe.
