Hey there, I’m Johanne Miali Maiwen Bazan! I was born on June 26, 2004, in Marseille, France, alongside my twin brother and older sister. My family’s journey led us from Marseille to Toulon when I was three and then across the ocean to Miami, Florida, when I turned ten. Miami opened a new world for me—I became fluent in English and attended exceptional bilingual schools. I’m currently in Madrid, Spain, pursuing my dreams at an American university. I’m eager to see where my life takes me and share my journey with you.

GOALS

I’m passionate about the media production industry and love working behind the camera. It’s such a broad field with so many opportunities, and I’m excited to explore and learn from different experiences around the world. I’m open to new challenges and eager to grow my creativity and leadership skills by working with people from different industries. I value feedback to help me improve and aim to create supportive and inspiring environments. Connecting with other creative minds motivates me to think outside the box and push boundaries in everything I do.

DANCE

 

I started dancing at the age of six at Magdanse Studio in France before moving to Miami and training at Coconut Grove Ballet in the American Ballet Theatre (ABT), which required annual exams to advance. In eighth grade, I joined Trendz Dance Studio, where I spent 14 years exploring styles like jazz, ballet, contemporary, hip-hop, ballroom, and musical theater. I practiced five days a week for four hours, competed annually, and won awards and scholarships at competitions like NRG, Tremaine, Danza, and Radix. As captain of my dance team, I led an exchange trip to France, managing their preparation and morale.

Dance taught me dedication, leadership, perseverance, and the importance of hard work. It helped me become organized, respectful, and creative while improving my musicality and ability to learn quickly. Dancing shaped my character and remains a passion that has greatly influenced who I am today.

PHOTOGRAPHY

My passion for photography began in high school when I received a disposable camera as a gift. The anticipation of seeing the developed photos fascinated me. As my interest grew, I upgraded to a digital camera and fell in love with capturing moments. Through practice and hands-on experience, I refined my skills and deepened my knowledge by taking multiple photography classes in university and practicing on my own. I truly appreciate the ability to preserve special moments through images, and I’m excited to continue growing and learning in this art form.

 

VIDEOGRAPHY

My passion for videography began when my grandfather gifted me one of his old video cameras. I started filming my friends and quickly discovered a deep love for creating videos. 

Platforms like TikTok have given me the opportunity to explore my creativity and share my work with a wider audience. Through continuous practice, I’ve developed strong editing skills and love crafting unique content. Filming, editing, and storytelling bring me immense joy and fulfillment.

As my passion grew, I launched a YouTube channel to showcase my work to the world. While I’ve already learned so much through personal experience, I’m eager to continue growing and refining my skills. Click the link below to explore my YouTube channel and see my creations!
