San Francisco and New York City have been traditionally thought as hotbeds for tech startup, but pockets of new talent has been popping up all over the world in strong urban centers where young people want to live like Berlin, Istanbul, London, Stockholm, Boulder and elsewhere. One of the major hotspots has been Sweden with companies like Spotify, Skype, King and Ericsson all leading the way in terms of innovation, where other major brands in H&M and Ikea have all made their name as brands from the Nordic country. With all of this talent focused in a city with 2 million people, it is surprising that there is no SXSW-style of conference to try and bring these people together all at once. That is about to change with two of the brightest minds in the city, Daniel Ek, founder and CEO of Spotify and Ash Pournouri, founder of At Night Management, which handles Avicii, Cazzette, Ishi and others is looking to start a new conference this summer. -
Video of Taylor Swift, 12, Belting National Anthem at 76ers Game Surfaces [WATCH]
Taylor Swift had the makings of a star even when she was a 12-year-old. Old video footage of the young "Shake It Off" singer performing the national anthem at a Philadelphia 76ers game in Pennsylvania recently went viral. Swift, a native of Reading, Pennsylvania, is shown in the brief clip below belting the last few lines of "The Star-Spangled Banner," including the challenging "o'er the land of the free" part, "The Huffington Post" reports. The singer does a spectacular job, considering her age at the time. I am sure no one knew Swift would one day rule the charts after listening to her performance, but she had plenty of years to improve. The next T.Swift is out there, though, so do not disregard any youngster you see belting out the beloved song. In case you missed it, New Zealand singer Lorde was also an excellent singer at age 12.
