Scott Moffatt, born on March 30, 1983 in Whitehorse, Yukon

Scott Andrew Moffatt was born on March 30, 1983 in Whitehorse, Yukon to Frank and Darlana Moffatt. Within a year after his birth, he became big brother to triplets Clint, Bob and Dave. As a child, Scott did some small-time modelling for a catalogue and bought his first guitar with his earnings at the age of six.

In 1993, The Moffatt Brothers released their first CD independently and soon after did a slight namechange and became the youngest band to sign a contract with a major label. The Moffatts were born. As the boys grew up, they picked up their own instruments rather than have a backup band, and Scott's choice was to be the guitarist. He did most of the lead vocals throughout their career as well as backup vocals for the few songs his brothers lead. In 2001 the band split after his youngest brother, Dave, came out of the closet as a homosexual and caused a rift between himself and his father, who was also their tour manager.

A year later, in summer of 2002, reports that Scott had joined a new band with two friends from his current residence of Bragg Creek, Alberta began spreading online. The lineup placed Scott on guitar once again, but later live shows would reveal that he also played the organ and bass. They called themselves The Boston Post and released only one CD, an EP entitled It's 99PM, in January 2003. After two tours, several other appearances including on Canadian national music television, Much Music, and awards from the Banff Centre for the mixing of some of their songs, the band packed up their gear for good. Rumours had circulated before the last shows that the band were to change focus, from being a regular band to being Scott Moffatt and band, which is how most media saw them.

Within a year after The Boston Post's last show, word came out that Scott had formed a new band, this time with two of his brothers, Clint and Bob. No band name was revealed and the band did not make contact with anyone to present themselves. The only record of this project was two mentions in the Banff Centre's 2005 Newsletters, both stating that Shawn Everett, the drummer of the Boston Post and Scotts good friend, was working on producing and engineering 'The Moffats' with one t's upcoming album and had won an award for the mixing of one song. Though Scott was always careful to not call anything The Moffatts unless all four of them were in fact involved, having no name for themselves meant that they were called by that name (though misspelled).

After some time had passed with no news, it became clear that the project had fallen through when Bob moved to Thailand, later followed by Clint, to do their own thing with the Starz 2006 project and later their band Same Same. It wasn't long however, until Scott announced on his personal MySpace that he intended to go solo. He'd relocated to LA after The Boston Post ended and he revealed that he was currently recording for his debut album, containing his address (he has since moved), in which he encouraged fans to send in samples of sounds they found interesting, or any unused instruments they could spare. He wanted to create an album aided by fans, and promised to thank all the contributors in the CD booklet. Several rose to the challenge and sent him everything from instruments to CDs with sounds on them and were thanked in later blogs by name.

On April 10, 2006, song previews from the long-awaited album were put up on his Myspace music page]. The CD was named The Allegory of the City and the songs are all acoustic and reveal a folk rock/pop vibe that still has the typical Scott Moffatt feel. He's done everything on the record himself; all instruments and vocals are done by him and he also did the production and mixing. The CD is available online on iTunes and available for free on his Myspace page.

Scott has produced for Thai artists Mint, Slot Machine, Brandnew Sunset, Getsunova, Daylight Saving, Apartment KhunPa and American artist Cory Lamb. He also won Producer of The Year in the Thai Headbanger Awards 2008 for his work on Brandnew Sunset's album.

He is currently in Canada producing the Montreal-based band Roads.

Super Sexy Man - Keanu Reeves (Beirut, Lebanon)

Keanu Charles Reeves (born September 2, 1964) is a Canadian actor. Reeves is perhaps best known for his roles in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Speed, Point Break and the science fiction-action trilogy The Matrix. He has worked under major directors, such as Stephen Frears (in the 1988 period drama Dangerous Liaisons); Gus Van Sant (in the 1991 independent film My Own Private Idaho, also written by Van Sant); and Bernardo Bertolucci (in the 1993 film Little Buddha). Referencing his 1991 film releases, The New York Times critic Janet Maslin praised Reeves' versatility, saying that he "displays considerable discipline and range. He moves easily between the buttoned-down demeanour that suits a police procedural story and the loose-jointed manner of his comic roles."

In addition to his film roles, Reeves has also performed in theatre. His performance in the title role in a Manitoba Theatre Centre production of Hamlet was praised by Roger Lewis, the Sunday Times, who declared Reeves "...one of the top three Hamlets I have seen, for a simple reason: he is Hamlet." On January 31, 2005, Reeves received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A 2006 ET online survey placed him in the "Top Ten of America's Favorite Stars".

Reeves was born in Beirut, Lebanon, the son of Patricia Bond (née Taylor), an English costume designer/performer, and Samuel Nowlin Reeves, Jr., a geologist and Hawaiian-born American of English, Irish, Portuguese, Hawaiian, and Chinese descent. Reeves's mother was working in Beirut when she met his father. Reeves' father worked as an unskilled labourer and earned his GED while imprisoned in Hawaii for selling heroin at Hilo International Airport. He abandoned his wife and family when Reeves was three years old, and Reeves does not currently have any relationship with him.

Reeves moved around the world frequently as a child and he lived with various stepfathers. After his parents divorced in 1966, his mother became a costume designer and moved the family to Australia and then to New York City. There she met and married Paul Aaron, a Broadway and Hollywood director. The couple moved to Toronto; they divorced in 1971. Reeves' mother married Robert Miller, a rock promoter, in 1976; the couple divorced in 1980. She subsequently married her fourth husband, Jack Bond, a hairdresser, a marriage that broke up in 1994. Grandparents and nannies babysat Reeves and his sisters, and Reeves grew up primarily in Toronto. Within a span of five years, he attended four different high schools, including the Etobicoke School of the Arts, from which he was later expelled. Reeves stated he was expelled "...because I was greasy and running around a lot. I was just a little too rambunctious and shot my mouth off once too often. I was not generally the most well-oiled machine in the school. I was just getting in their way, I guess."
