Chatelaine's top 10 men to watch
Who's Canada's next 'it' guy? We've got the scoop. Keep these men on your radar this year


Chad VanGaalen
The electro-folk-rocker got his start busking the streets of his native Calgary. His basement served as a recording studio for his first LPs and the buzz quickly spread. VanGaalen's latest – Soft Airplane – was nominated for Alternative Album of the Year at the 2009 Junos. When he's not a one-man show playing several instruments at once, VanGaalen channels his talent as an accomplished illustrator and animator.
