Stylist to the Stars…

Where were you born?
Miami Fl
Where do you live?
Atlanta GA
When did you decide that this is what you want to do?
After I got injured during my college athlete days, and working in the music industry with My two god-Fathers John Monoply and Datu Fasion who managed Kanye West with their company call Hustle.
Do you sew as well as style?
Haven’t master that skill of sewing yet but I’m working on it.(smile) but honestly I just style.
Are there any celebrities that you’ve worked with?
Musiq Soulchild, Anthony Hamilton, Ludacris, Chingy, Tisha Campbell, Tasha Smith, Jagged Edge, Lloyd and others.
Which Celebrities fit your style, and that you would want to work with?
Celebs that fit my style is Pharrell, Kanye, and Andre 300 is one celeb I would like to work with.
Which celebrity could put on anything and look good? (male or female)
Male- my homie Pharrell, and female I would say Victoria Beckham.
Would you rather style something around a pair of boots or open toe pumps?
I would say pumps because they are sexy on a women to me.

Who would you rather see in a fitted mini dress…a size 7 with curves or a size 1 with no curves?
I’ll take the fitted mini dress size 7 with curves, I love a beautiful women with a figure.
Do you have a favorite color or fabric that you like to work with? And why?
Honestly I don’t really it all just depends on the project at the time.
What is some advice for girls out there that want to model?
Honestly, stop doing the music videos because every girl that is cute with a shape thinks she is a model, which then it limits you. Go for being the next Naiomi Campbell and go check the iconic check.
A past video/magazine experience on set…Good and Bad…
Honestly , I’m blessed to have only good experiences so far.
What helps you get creative (music,people,movies)
Everything from music, people, everyday life.
Any projects coming up that we should know about?
First go get Musiq Soulchilds “ONMYRADIO” album, and I just teamed up super celeb photographer Derek Blanks so we are teaming up on different projects.

First ,You thank you (Jami) for wanting to interview me, Musiq Soulchild, His management team, Kevin Liles the Atlantic Records family, my business partner Paris Kirk, and my publicist Tahaira Wright(branded Pr) and You again.
