<\/a>Simply Buckhead\u2019s annual Rising Stars issue is one of the most anticipated of the year.<\/p>\nOur team looks forward to hearing, writing and reading the incredible stories of Atlanta\u2019s best and brightest creators and creatives. There is no shortage of budding talent in the city, and it\u2019s always difficult to whittle down the pool of candidates to the featured seven.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s group is inspiring, to say the least, each shooting for the stars and impressively paving their career paths. Singer-songwriter and actor Kameron Corvet, whom I had the pleasure of profiling, went from teaching French to collaborating on a Grammy winning song with Sting and Shaggy. Jewelry designer Riley Kinnane-Petersen has been creating baubles for more than half her life (she\u2019s 11), and now the tween sells her wares to retailers such as J.Crew. And though chef Palak Patel has major media appearances under her belt, having been on shows such as \u201cChopped\u201d and \u201cFood Network Star,\u201d she opens her first eatery concept in Upper Westside this year. Look for these and more great stories in our cover feature.<\/p>\n
But Buckhead-area talent isn\u2019t limited to one section of the magazine. In On Stage, Vanessa Pascale Rust profiles Trae Romano of the CW\u2019s new hit series \u201cStargirl\u201d; Nicole Letts chats with architect Blake Segars, known for his firm\u2019s custom-build projects, in the Simply Living section; and in 15 Minutes With, Amy Meadows tells the story of Michelle Enjoli, founder of Connect, a successful career development service.<\/p>\n
Whatever passion project you may be toying with at home or work, may these stories motivate you to bring your dream to fruition.<\/p>\n
