Bio
According to his mother, Kalan Porter was able to hum parts of Brahm's Lullaby at 18 months. He hasn't stopped singing since. Kalan took classical voice lessons from 10 to 14 and at 16 began singing in his family rock band, where he also plays guitar, bass and piano. Kalan is also an accomplished violin and viola player, which he has studied since he was eight. He continues to perform solo, with a quartet and in an orchestra as well as teach six violin students.
Kalan grew up working on his family's fifth generation buffalo/cattle ranch, where he fed, weaned, corralled and branded livestock. He recently completed his first year in the Commerce program at Medicine Hat College.
Kalan loves steak and sushi, the Medicine Hat Tigers and Late Night with Conan O'Brien. He likes to snowboard, wakeboard, play volleyball, run and "could not live" without his car. Kalan is "game for just about any activity," and has skydived, white water rafted and scuba dived.
Kalan's Canadian idol? "People like Rick Hansen who have overcome adversity to achieve something that makes a difference in the lives of Canadians," he says.

ABOUT ME
Hi everyone! I'm Patricia and I am Kalanadian. Along with Kalan I hail from Alberta (though, sadly, not from Medicine Hat). I live Northwest from The Hat. I'm 17 and I've loved Kalan ever since I first heard him sing. (The first song I heard him sing was 'Lady'). I've been doing a little looking around on newspaper sites and I've found that Kalan always has the highest percentage of votes (as low as in the 40s and as high as in the 60s).
As well as being a fan of Kalan, I'm also a fan of Green Day, Avril Lavigne, Evanescence and t.A.T.u. My favorite Green Day songs (from the new album American Idiot) are 'American Idiot', 'Holiday', 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams', 'Are We The Waiting', 'St. Jimmy' and 'She's A Rebel'. My favorite songs by Avril are pretty much all on her new CD 'Under My Skin'. They are Take Me Away, Don't Tell Me, My Happy Ending, Nobody's Home and Who Knows. My favorite songs by Evanesence are Haunted, Everybody's Fool, Tourniquet, Imaginary and Whisper.
My favorite movies include (but are not limited to) all existing HP movies, the LOTR trilogy, The Day After Tomorrow, Mean Girls, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Shawshank Redemption, Grease, Aladdin, The Lion King and The Breakfast Club.
I am also into a lot of Russian stuff, thanks to t.A.T.u. Because of a Russian friend of mine, I'm getting more Russian music (have recently been introduced to Kino). I absolutely adore everything Russian and I love the Russian language. I have long been in the process of trying to teach myself. |
