Martinez Pacific Daily News FILED UNDER Lifestyle ON THE NET • Sgal on Youtube: www.youtube.com/user/tylertanaka94?feature=watch http://officialsgal.bandcamp.com • iPop: www.ipopla.com Fresh out of high school, 18-year-old Reed Meyer has big college plans, hoping for a basketball scholarship somewhere on the East Coast. Before that, he has other plans that could take him to a whole different side of the continent -- Hollywood. Next month, Meyer will be in Los Angeles, representing the island in front of bigwigs in the entertainment industry, hoping to get discovered. The singer, model and actor has been invited to iPop, the International Presentation of Performers, where he'll be among thousands of other young talents putting themselves in front of agents and casting directors from big magazines and networks. Born and raised on Guam, Meyer also was an interscholastic athlete during his high school years at St. John's School. "It always kept me out of trouble," he says. He also played soccer and basketball through high school and currently is in search of a college, which will offer him a basketball scholarship. Meyer has a passion for performing. He honed his acting skills in high school and at John Robert Powers, which is sponsoring him. "I'm still getting used to modeling, and acting is something I got into in a class," he says. "I really enjoyed it and it really turned me on to it, but singing, I've been doing for quite a while." He began singing when he was about 10. He played the guitar and sang in his school's talent show. "I was really into the Red Hot Chili Peppers back then, so I'd sing a lot of that," he says. Today, Meyer is part crooner, performing songs in the style of Michael Buble and Frank Sinatra. If you're not familiar with his jazz performances, you might know Meyer through more contemporary music. He's also part of the rap trio Sgal, which has several music videos up on its YouTube page. "I'm really starting to get into mixing and producing and I hope to study that when I get into college," he says. If Meyer makes it through the audition, he could possibly garner work in Hollywood or a recording contract. "The show business -- it's always a cool thing to be involved in," he says. "But I'm going out there to do my best and see what happens."
