This site was conceived of in the summer of ‘09 in the industrial outskirts of Toronto, by Nada Alic and propelled by such occasional contributors as Andrea Dyer, Billy Hamilton, Brooks Reynolds, DJ PJ, Cameron Molloy, and others. No one gets paid for this blog, in fact, Nada mostly loses money on it, but feels a necessary duty to uphold a life of relative poverty so she can spread the love. If you’d like to paypal her some grocery money, she likely wouldn’t mind. Nada’s background with non profits and music are largely influential in this blog: this project is a natural extension of emitting all sorts of goodness into the universe for all to share.

Friends With Both Arms: Faces on Film track 1.

Introducing:

Nada Alic

Nada (right) and good friend Jenni (left) had plans back in ‘08 that didn’t quite pan out. Jenni likes music, and we think that’s reason enough to include her in this section. What? She’s our friend.

Nada enjoys moving around every six months or so to work with such companies as Invisible Children, while working alongside other companies and publications like Universal Music Group, To Write Love on Her Arms, The Huffington Post, Causecast, Seventeen, Geez Magazine, Teen Vogue, Live in Bellwoods, Sezio, Spinner/AOL, Gibson Guitars, bluPRint, and more. She’s organized events at SXSW, Warped Tour and Bamboozle.

She gets most excited about her work as a contributing editor/writer for the magazine series Mountains.She also frequently offends people as a writer for VICE, and thinks a sense of humour is vital for all things to work in her favour. Please contact her if you have any kickass freelance writing projects: nada.alic@gmail.com

Honorable Mention:

Andrea Nakhla

Andrea is an artistic gem; a friend of FWBA that has consistently contributed to the overal aesthetic of the site- credited with our beautiful new header.

She also has shared a decent amount of new music with us that we always end up falling in love with and taking credit for ourselves. She currently lives in San Diego, makes pretty videos, paintings, takes light leak photos like no one else, and never cleans her room.
