About Katja Glieson

The young starlet Katja Glieson is the Australian pop princess gaining international attention for her music and ‘pop series’ of music videos, with her urban pop caramel voice and her ‘naughty but nice’ cheeky grin. This young singer/dancer/actress/writer has just moved to Hollywood, California, after leaving her home and family back in Australia and giving it all to her dreams. Katja sees living her passion and dream of entertaining and performing her music and art as a way of connecting with people to make a difference to their lives.

Katja endured consistent bullying from her peers due to being overweight; as a result, she found solace in singing and songwriting. But this didn’t stop Katja from being heavily involved in the limited arts programs at her school, taking up drama, dance and music. As she moved forward, she noticed the opportunities at the public school she attended were limited, so she took it upon herself to write and direct in her own productions to give her peers the opportunity to experience acting, singing and dancing as well.

Today, Katja is determined to bring awareness to the childhood obesity epidemic and promote healthy living. Through her experiences, Katja has developed wisdom well beyond her years and often speaks out about her experiences on bullying. Katja sees living her passion and dream of entertaining and performing her music and art as a way of connecting with people to make a difference to their lives. She is all about the truth and expression of emotion behind the lyrics and behind her performance. A natural at making people feel loved and honored no matter what they’ve done, she hypnotizes her audiences with her charisma, love and stage presence. To bring the message that no matter what you’ve done or what has been done to you, you still get to create your dreams and be loved.

About The Norristown Project

The Norristown Project (TNP) is a volunteer-based organization located in Norristown, Pennsylvania. The program was created by life-long resident Shae Ashe who was fed up with all the complaints and negative stories coming from a town he takes pride in. To address the problems Norristown faces, Shae became proactive by coming up with ways to fix those problems with a smile on his face and with volunteers who shared the same passion. The project launched as a campaign on Indiegogo, and then by May, the first community project was hosted. Today, TNP focuses on community cleanup, development, engagement, and event management.
