Question
how do i meet famous people in order to show them i can model and sing any
time all time.how would i start my career out as a young artist or an young
model

Answer
Dear Ariana,

To become a singer it is important that you sing at every opportunity at your school, church, and in your community.  If you are good, someone will recognize it and you will make progress.

To become a model have your parents find you a small modeling studio where you can take classes and gain experience.

Meeting famous people is not how you are going to get ahead in these careers.  Experience and frequency of exposure are the key to getting ahead.

Best wishes and God bless,
Doc
