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.

I am a creative thinker who enjoys generating innovative concepts and bringing new ideas to life. My creativity is complemented by a strong attention to detail, ensuring that every project I undertake is executed meticulously and to the highest standard.

 

PHOTOGRAPHY

My passion for photography sparked in high school when my aunt gifted me a disposable camera. I was intrigued by the anticipation of waiting to see the developed photos. As I progressed, I received a digital camera and fell in love with capturing moments. While I’m not a professional, photography remains a cherished hobby. I’ve honed my skills through practice and even took a photography class in university to learn more about the technical aspects. The ability to capture special moments in time through images is something I deeply appreciate, and I’m eager to continue growing and learning in this art form.

 

VIDEOGRAPHY

My interest in videography began when my grandfather gave me one of his old video cameras. I started filming my friends and soon discovered my passion for creating videos. At the end of each year, I compile all the footage into a fun video montage. Editing became a hobby as I enjoyed finding the perfect song and enhancing the videos. Platforms like TikTok have allowed me to explore my creativity further and share my videos with a wider audience. With lots of practice, I’ve developed strong editing skills and enjoy creating unique content. Filming, editing, and creating videos bring me great joy and fulfillment. As I created more and more videos, I started a Youtube channel where I can share my work to the world. If you click the link below, it will take you to my Youtube channel
