Attachment # 1: R&C-2018-14 2018 Arts & Culture Wall of Fame Inductees Background Information REZZ Though young at 22 years of age, REZZ is anything but an amateur as a producer of genre-bending works, striking a sharp balance between bass heavy and minimal tech composition. With a strong vision and no two ways about it, REZZ’s decisiveness is arguably the key to her success so far. She began to build a following on Soundcloud with a series of free releases which in a short time inevitably caught the ears of EDM golden boys Skrillex and Deadmau5, who helped bring her out to the masses with near back-to-back releases of a three-track ‘Insurrection EP’ on OWSLA’s The Nest imprint in 2015, followed by the ‘Serenity EP’ via Mau5trap in 2016. After the release of the ‘Something Wrong Here EP’ in October 2016 on Mau5trap, her ever-evolving and idiosyncratic electro sound has continued to grow stronger. With her first full-length album “Mass Manipulation” out since August 2017, she has wowed at festivals internationally including six dates in Asia with Ultra Music Festival, Bonnaroo and Electric Zoo. She is currently supporting “Mass Manipulation” with a 27-date international tour that continues to see sold-out dates across North America. Winner of 2018 Juno for Electronic Album of the Year for “Mass Manipulation” Alan Barillaro Alan Barillaro was born in Niagara Falls in 1975. He grew up in the community of Chippawa and went to school at Sacred Heart Elementary. Barillaro’s interest in art and animation began at a young age. He worked his way up through the ranks at various commercial houses during high school and continued his studies at Sheridan College for Animation. Barillaro joined Pixar Animation Studios in January 1997. Barillaro has worked on almost every Pixar film as an animator, including “A Bug’s Life,” “Toy Story 2,” “Monsters, Inc.,” and the Academy Award®- winning features “Finding Nemo,” “The Incredibles,” “WALL•E,” “Brave” and “Incredibles 2.” On those last four features, Barillaro was given the role of supervising animator and was therefore responsible for overseeing the team of animators who worked to bring the characters in the films to life. In 2017, Barillaro won the Academy Award for the Best Animated Short film, “Piper,” which he wrote and directed. “Piper” also won the ASIFA-Hollywood Annie Award for Best Animated Short Subject. Jim Cooper Jim Cooper was one of the creators of Oh Canada Eh? Dinner Show, the original musical celebration of Canada’s culture and musical heritage. Oh Canada Eh? was opened in 1994 in the old Pyramid Place building on Robinson Street in Niagara Falls. Twenty-three years later, Jim is still the company’s co- owner and executive producer (as of the 2015 application). Over a quarter of a million guests have enjoyed the Oh Canada Eh? Dinner Show and it’s many holiday and winter productions. Jim himself starred as the lead character, the loveable fur-trapper Pierre, in over 1800 performances. .
