Beautiful. Fun. Adventurous. Those are three of the words Kolton Stewart<\/a><\/strong> would use to describe Canada.<\/p>\n

“I love it here,” says the 14-year-old during our one-on-one interview at Corus’s headquarters in Toronto. The YouTube sensation<\/a> popped by the building to shoot a quick promo spot for YTV<\/a>; his brand new show Some Assembly Required<\/em><\/a> premieres on the channel on January 6.<\/p>\n

The series is about a teenager who becomes boss of a toy company after suing it over a defective chemistry set. Stewart<\/a>‘s character, Jarvis Raines, is CEO.<\/p>\n

“I love working with the entire cast and crew,” says Stewart of his time spent on set. “Everyone does their jobs to the best of their ability… I’ve learned a lot from the entire team.”<\/p>\n

Currently on holiday break, the teen is enjoying catching up with family and friends and watching a few basketball games (one of his favourite sports). He’s also available to dish out some of the business advice he’s learned from running a company: “If you want to have a successful business, the key is to have fun doing what you do.”<\/p>\n

It’s clear Stewart knows a thing or two about having fun. Since being “discovered” on YouTube, he’s appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres<\/strong> show<\/a> and become friends with one of Canada’s most popular exports, Justin Bieber<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s been a great mentor in terms of helping me figure out what I want to do when I grow up — in terms of bringing me backstage and giving me advice,” says Stewart. “He\u2019s made me see what\u2019s capable at such a young age and has taught me I can do anything.”<\/p>\n

His impressions of Ellen? “Ellen\u2019s unreal. She\u2019s everything you think she would be. Off-camera, she\u2019s the same person as she is on-camera. She talked to us for about 40 minutes after the show. We also met Portia; she\u2019s an incredible person.”<\/p>\n

With his star on the rise, it’s hard to imagine Stewart’s life is anything but normal (by kid’s standards), but he insists he’s just like a regular teen. He has New Year’s resolutions (“I should probably stop eating so much chocolate!) and he asked Santa for a few key Christmas gifts (Beats By Dre headphones<\/a> and an Ed Sheeran guitar<\/a>). He’s addicted to his iPhone (though he admittedly uses it to keep himself organized) and he’s got a thing for salty foods (\u201cI don\u2019t have a huge sweet tooth; when I was a kid I used to choose broccoli over candy”).<\/p>\n

The only difference is he spends his time acting, playing music and dancing — the latter is a talent few people know he has.<\/p>\n

So what’s up next for Stewart, outside of starring in his own TV show? \u201cI\u2019d really like to become a professional musician and to sell out stadiums. I\u2019d also love to continue acting.\u201d His ultimate dream? “To be just like Justin Timberlake<\/a><\/strong>,” he says with a smile.<\/p>\n
