| 13-year-old singer hopes to follow in Beyoncé's footsteps - KTRK-TV Posted: 25 Sep 2019 01:43 PM PDT  MISSOURI CITY, Texas (KTRK) -- For 13-year-old Ameerah Jackson, her gift of song is all about uplifting others. "I feel it's all about inspiring," said Ameerah. "I just want to make people smile on their bad days." Her father, Edward Jackson, said Ameerah was 3-years-old when the family bought a piano. "She was beating on it from the start," he recalled. "She wanted to play on it." Before Ameerah turned 10, she started writing her own songs. But it didn't come easy. She met with a vocal coach and a music producer to help elevate her to the next level. "Talent is good, but hard works gets talent pushed to the front," said Jackson. While singing and songwriting are her passions, maintaining good grades is a top priority. Although sustaining the balance between the two has its challenges, Ameerah's parents believe it makes her well-rounded. "I definitely want her to follow her dream, do her best," explained Jackson. "But, also want her to stick with it and try to find a balance." Last year, Ameerah released her first single, titled "Superman", and later released a second song, titled "Masquerade." She's currently working on releasing her next single, titled "They Go La." Despite her young age, Ameerah has accomplished a lot and hopes to achieve much more. Her plans are to graduate from high school, go to college and hopefully follow in the footsteps of those who inspire her. "I know Beyoncé and Alicia Keys both have perseverance and work very hard on their craft. I work hard on my craft as well," said Ameerah. "Hopefully I'll be as good as them one day because that would just be super cool." Want to see more from the heart of your community? Check out your town's stories through our ABC13+ Facebook page.

| Posted: 26 Sep 2019 06:02 AM PDT  The singer has been attempting to trademark her daughter's name for several yearsThursday, 26th September 2019, 14:01 pm Updated Thursday, 26th September 2019, 14:02 pm Beyonce has claimed her seven-year-old daughter is a "cultural icon" as part of a long-running trademark dispute with a small business. The singer's attempt to trademark the name Blue Ivy has met with opposition by wedding planner Wendy Morales who owns a business with the same title. Ms Morales argues she was using the name first but Beyonce's lawyers have described her opposition as "frivolous". The star's legal counsel has asked the US Patent and Trademark Office to dismiss the claim, arguing Blue Ivy, Beyonce's eldest child with husband Jay-Z, is a "cultural icon".
'Fashion moments'Laywers say Blue Ivy has been "described as a 'mini style star' and has been celebrated for her 'fashion moments'. "Her life and activities are followed extensively by the media and the public," they also claim. "The opposition, which claims that consumers are likely to be confused between a boutique wedding event planning business and Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of two of the most famous performers in the world, is frivolous and should be refused in its entirety," they said in court documents. Lawyers for Beyonce also noted the event company's lack of social media accounts, describing it as a "small business, with just three regional offices and a handful of employees". They also said Morales had exploited Blue Ivy's fame for entrepreneurial purposes.
Business received a boostThe documents claim Morales "exhibited a pattern and practice of affirmatively attempting to connect its brand with Blue Ivy Carter to increase its exposure and drum up business." Specifically, the filings refer to interviews Ms Morales gave following Blue Ivy's birth, in which she admitted that her business received a boost in attention. Beyonce says Ms Morales also had a sale on Blue Ivy's birthday. Ms Morales has previously claimed Beyonce "never produced any documents, tangible things, or other factual evidence" when she applied for the trademark. |
