SHINE ON HOLLYWOOD TESTIMONIALS & REVIEWS - We bring real people real stories from Hollywood with positive outlooks from around the world.
"Shine On Hollywood Magazine" YOU shine on the World."
I have been in the world of journalism for a long time and saw the gradual deterioration in reporting and communicating with the people; it went from reporting to projecting, from facts to gossip, from balance to sensationalism. I was turned off from reading the newspaper.
Then you came along, Arnold and touched my life. You made it your mission to bring to the world the stories of real people. Instead of news of the extraordinary rich doing ordinary things, you went to the ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
Instead of taking the easy road, you took the "Road Less Traveled" and demonstrated how magnificently "real people" rise and shine.
You set the standard for what journalism and reporting is all about. You have raised the bar.
Thank you SHINE ON HOLLYWOOD MAGAZINE team for dedicating your time and talent to what is really important in life, Goodness.

“Not only do they feature lots of the best artists in the world, they also keep it fun and classy. There is just so much for you to read and enjoy. It's like a child suddenly lost in a candy store.”
I love Shine On Hollywood Magazine. They wrote the best article about me; in depth and so fresh from the questions that they asked. All the people who work on the Magazine are so professional. They work all night if that is what it takes to get the articles ready and they care about the quality. I love reading the magazine too. :)))

“I am especially impressed with SOHM's mandate to be involved in the schools and especially in empowering youth to be part of SOHM. This truly speaks to SOHM's vision of the future and its desire to give back to not only the artistic community, but the community at large.”
I am a huge fan of SOHM and its mandate to share the more personal, inspirational and hope-building stories of those in the entertainment industry. I have thoroughly enjoyed the issues I've read and am excited to see what SOHM has in store for its second year of e-publication. I have brought issues into my classroom to share with my students as well as distributed and shared various articles with industry professionals here in Vancouver, Canada. The response has always been positive and a keen interest shown in subscribing so they may be able to read SOHM for themselves. The writers, editors and management at SOHM are the perfect balance of professional and attentive personal. I especially appreciate their penchant for taking our words and giving them a polish without losing the essence of the artist.
I wish SOHM every success and look forward to following the journey of this wonderful e-zine.
~ Ren Kennedy, Actress - Vancouver, Canada

~ Tamela D'Amico, Actress, Producer and Director
“Imagine a magazine that does NOT pander to gossip and hearsay where each story gives you solutions to challenges you may be facing or ideas how to create your own solutions.”
I have been fortunate enough to do many interviews in my life both "live" and written, but I have never been as honest and forthcoming as I was when Arnold Garcia interviewed me for SOHM. His questions illicit honest, thoughtful answers and since SOHM is always about solutions rather than gossip, I was inspired to share things I had never shared with anyone, much less 'faceless readers'. SOHM challenges everyone involved with them to be the best they can be. To be kind and supportive rather than mean and competitive. Their approach is so fresh and new.
I hope someone besides me benefited from my interview. Arnold's insightful questions most definitely took me on a path of self discovery where ego and fear have no place. Only hope and support. I am ever so grateful to have been a part of the 1st anniversary issue of SHINE ON HOLLYWOOD.
~Cynthia Manley, Singer, Songwriter, Performer and Producer
“Shine on Hollywood is an inspiring magazine that highlights the real life narratives, achievements and modern prospects of Los Angeles/Hollywood residents. It fulfills its mission of being positive, educational and meaningful, and is a truly beneficial publication in our community.”
I had the pleasure of working with Alex and the SOHM Team and am thrilled that the magazine reflects the upbeat and considerate attitude of its staff. The article written about me by SOHM has been very influential in helping our fundraising efforts for special needs children and has brought more attention to the biographical movie that we are working on through Jeff Co. Productions. I look forward to working with SOHM in the future and enjoy watching your publication continue to grow. Shine on!

~Miss Amy® - Multi-nominated/GRAMMY® Winning Featured Artist
“The article about my story opened up avenues for both of these passions and reminded me of why I worked so hard to be the best I could be at both painting and soccer. SOHM fills a much needed gap in the art and entertainment industry by covering stories of real people and what inspired them.”
I cannot thank the staff of SOHM enough for the wonderful interview they did on my life, my artwork, and my passion for soccer that was featured in the May 2013 issue. Not only was working with all of you a pleasure, but it brought me a whole new audience for not only my artwork, but for my second love, Soccer. Since I was featured in the magazine, I have not only received calls for paintings from individuals and galleries, but also from people in the community requesting private tutoring in both art and soccer. Each issue features talented people who have made a difference in the industry as well as in their own communities. The stories are inspiring leaving the reader feeing uplifted after reading each issue.
After moving from Chicago to a small town in Georgia, I felt my talents were going nowhere. I could not find work in either field and being far from the big city, my art business became stagnant. I began to question the paths I had chosen. However, once the article was published, I realized I could share my talents not only by painting and playing soccer, but by tutoring the local youth. In addition to coaching soccer for the local high school, many of the students who read the article have asked if I would tutor them in art which I found gives me as much fulfillment as doing my own paintings. This has afforded me the opportunity to share my gifts with the next generation in more ways than one so I can help them to “shine.”
The "Show Your Shine" features people like myself who have amazing stories that would remain silent, never reaching the public without your insight and great reporting. I feel honored to be featured in the May 2013 issue with so many other talented artists. Working with the staff and being a part of SOHM has reminded me of how grateful I am to be where I am today. Thank You again for inviting me to be a part of a publication that actually makes a difference!
