TYGERIA

“I am a chameleon” What is your definition of Beauty? Someone who has a good heart is beautiful. How long have you been in the modeling industry? I have started two years ago and have come such a long way in such a short period of time. At what point in life did you know you wanted to be a model? I had to hit rock bottom before I had the attitude I needed to have for this industry. I had the attitude that I had nothing left to lose and that made my decision for me. The worst someone could say to me is no. What makes you unique and different from other models? I think what makes me unique is I am a chameleon and I have the ability to portray whatever I want to and most women can’t do that. They are either editorial all the time or pin up or alternative. I try to give everyone something new and my name is unique because it is legally the name I was born with, not some name I made up. How is the modeling industry in your area? Do you feel their are a lot of opportunities in your area? Yes and no, I will explain. The modeling industry where I live is great because anyone can be anything they want to be. You can act or model or dance or sing and do the things you always dreamed of doing, but the issue where I live is so many people who want to be these things, but no one is making money to claim the title because when you have a job, you make money. You want to be a model so you go to LA, New York, Paris, and Japan even, but not Las Vegas. You have to travel out of here to be a quote “real model.”

Is modeling your full job? yes it is. For you, what do you think are the most important characteristics to succeed in the industry? Drive and Determination and a humble attitude. Who would you say is the person who inspired you? I have a friend who is a model and she was lightyears ahead of me at the time and I was looking at her port because I have always loved fashion and Vogue and Magazines. She was beautiful and I felt so down on myself and my dad told me you are prettier than her. Why don’t you try to model and I remember laughing at the idea, like me? LOL No never and look at me now haha. Do you plan on getting into singing, acting, dancing? Yes I have done all. I did a commercial and music video. I have been a dance instructor until the modeling stuff took over and danced my whole life in ballet and tap and hip hop and jazz lessons. I was in music theater and majored in theater when I was in school.

“I’ve only recently taken notice of Gospel music and I can see why many people who have had that type of music in their lives love to sing… it is truly inspirational.”

NOMALY

"THE STORY OF AN ANOMALY! #SaintLouis #Talent" For our readers, where do you come from? Where were you born? My family originates from Italy and I was born and raised in Saint Louis MO. How is the urban music scene in you area? There are a ton of talented people here in St. Louis!!! So many creative independent artists’ and then, of course, we have Nelly and the St Lunatics who have helped to put Saint Louis on the map. The thing you love about your city? What I love about Saint Louis is simply this… In order to make it here, you truly have to have thick skin and an ambition that won’t quit. If you can gain the respect of Saint Louis people then you can pretty much make it anywhere. The thing you hate? What I dislike about my city is the negative vibe it sometimes gives off. A lot of Saint Louis people do not support each other and will typically only support you if you are from somewhere else. But I have seen a change over the past few years and I’m really happy to say that I’m from Saint Louis. But for me, Saint Louis has shown me a lot of love! How did you get into music when you were younger? I used to listen to my mother sing in her band all the time so music was all around me. If she wasn’t singing, she was throwing a house party and playing all kinds of music like MJ or Prince, the Gap Band or Anita Baker, Whitney Houston to Michael McDonald. My exposure was mainly music sounds from the 60’s to the 80’s. A lot of R&B artists got into music because of their spiritual experiences at church... Was it your case? Did you sing Gospel earlier in your life? No, I’ve never sang in a choir and had never even listened to Gospel music. I’ve only recently taken notice of Gospel music and I can see why many people who have had that type of music in their lives love to sing… it is truly inspirational.

“Rap has transcended to new heights! I even Rap a bit but I refuse to give up singing just to jump on the bandwagon�

How did you find your artist name? It’s kind of funny to me… I used to go by the name “J-Billion” which some people still call me to this day. But I’ve adopted a couple of other names since then. One that comes to mind is “Young Denzel”… I’ve been told by almost everyone I’ve met ever since I was very young that I resemble him. But I officially went with the name “Nomaly” (nom-uh-lee) because people would always say that I am an anomaly due to my extensive range of abilities and experiences. I write and sing all of my lyrics and background vocals. I produce and arrange all of my songs. I am a published author and ghostwriter of popular books and novels. I am a working actor and voice actor. I have toured as a stand- up comedian with the ability to impersonate lots of people and mimic just about any sound. So since I’m not “in a box” so to speak, I guess I’m sort of an anomaly thus adopting the name “Nomaly”. I’m basically a renaissance man. Sounds like you have a solid team behind you... Who are your partners? Well my infrastructure consists of my “listening team”, which includes close family members and a handful of associates in the music business. One of my closest friends “Fats” is someone that I sometimes write and create with. When we work together, we come up with some very emotional content as we both are passionate people and have experienced ups and downs in relationships and life so whenever I want to step outside of my own creativity and touch yet another level of profoundness I call up my boy and we go to work. So far, what are your 3 biggest Highlights? Publishing my mystery novel – “The Truth about Daddy” and getting great reviews When famous record producer “Jazze Pha” was interested in my song “Trophy Gurl”, it let me know that I was doing something right and was on the right track to success. Performing comedy in front of some all-star comedians and getting great reviews. Let’s talk about the “Always” video... What is the concept behind that song? Actually, what’s funny about that is that I definitely wanted to shoot that song in downtown Saint Louis and so that part was a success but the model I chose for the video wasn’t able to make it. So I decided to act like I was talking to her on the phone and just shoot it that way. I figured that since “Always” wasn’t too much of an interactive song visually speaking, I could get away with it... And it worked!

Do you think videos are the best way to market music nowadays? I do think that videos get the job done more efficiently because nowadays people want to see you in action as opposed to only seeing a picture of you while the song plays. People want to be much more engaged in your life and want to somewhat be a part of the creativity too so that’s why I also shoot footage of me creating or recording my songs which really helps draw fans and supporters closer. Can you present us your next project? Do you already have the playlist? The artwork? Some special guests on it? I’m currently recording three new songs: “All she wanna do”, “Let’s get it” and “Saltar En El Amor” a Spanish English blend I wrote as I am sometimes inspired by the Spanish culture. I have so many songs that are already written but I have yet to record so there is no shortage of music coming. It sounds like everybody nowadays want to be a rapper. Were the last years hard for the R&B music industry? What is your opinion? Yes that is so true…Rap has transcended to new heights! I even Rap a bit but I refuse to give up singing just to jump on the bandwagon. I really enjoy Rap and yes it has crippled (in my opinion) the R&B game for a moment but now R&B has come back stronger. People have been embracing R&B more than ever lately and the good thing about it is that Rap and R&B are sharing the same stage so there’s love for everybody. How do you imagine yourself, ten years from now? I see myself with a large catalog of music that I have written and performed and a catalog of musical productions that I have created for other musicians. I see myself in TV and Film and enjoying my free time with my family and friends. I believe I would’ve earned it by then. What are your dreams? I dream of a lot of things… really too many things go on in my mind to list. I create all the time! My creativity is not limited to my music. I love making people feel better through laughter. Comedy is in my blood and humor comes so natural to me and I think that comedy is a perfect way to help people. Laughter can add years to your life ya know. I also feel that my music can help folks... especially since my stories are so true and real and fit a lot of people’s life experiences so they can relate and sometimes express themselves through my music.

“My creativity is not limited to my music. I love making people feel better through laughter. Comedy is in my INTERVIEW WITH AN ANOMALY 13


Tell us the kraziest story you ever had in your life... I don’t usually eat fast food but once I was in a drive though to get something to eat. I ordered my food and the girl repeated my order correctly. I pull up and three girls come to the window… they smile and flirt a little. Then the girl who took my order gave me the food and when I looked in the bag I noticed that it was a completely different order. I told her that it wasn’t what I ordered and she straight went berserk on a brotha! She cursed me out and called me a liar and said that she hoped I choke on my food and die! Everyone in the window and in the cars waiting behind me thought that we must have known each other and that maybe I was some “cheating boyfriend” but they were still just as shocked as I was. I was for the first time in my life speechless. Eventually I regained my ability to speak and before I could say a word I looked into her eyes and I saw a troubled young girl. Seriously, she really looked disturbed and so instead of me getting angry I felt pity. I don’t know what was going on in her head but I told her “I’ll just take it… although it’s not what I ordered… It’s ok, just give me this one and I’ll go”. I saw tears welling up in her eyes and she smiled a little and the other girls smiled at me and whispered a thank you. And I never went back to that place again! As a crooner, what is the perfect song to make love on with your boo? “Strip for you” - R Kelly The most romantic place for a first rendez vous? Honestly although I like extravagant destinations… one of the things I love the most is walks in the park on a moon lit summer night. I know it sounds like something out of a romance novel but truly it is absolutely amazing to me! It is the perfect way to fall in love or rekindle that fire you’ve once shared with someone. Your type of girl? I love a girl who has a sense of humor and who also doesn’t take herself too seriously. I like an educated woman but not one who’s self-worth comes from said education… she must be spiritually grounded and love herself regardless of her academic or secular accomplishments. In my experience people who are identified solely by their titles and material things are not the best people to build a life with. Physically I enjoy all types of women as I am a true artist and passionate person so I can appreciate various shapes and attributes. I do however seem to gravitate to a specific type of woman and that’s usually a girl that’s from 5’7 to 5’10 in height and curvy with nice calves. I enjoy them all so don’t put me in a box lol! Exotic or outstanding eyes and a beautiful smile captivates me! I can go on and on! lol Photos: Billion 3 Studios

“JoBee is a man that’s spritually grounded, loving, strong, creative, Open-minded and driven. I am a man that loves love and everything that it intels. Music is my life’s force and I use my gift to spread love and healing througout the world.”

The favorite song to work out to... I love to work out to Dawn Richard’s song titled Bombs because it completely gets me up and going everytime I play it. It’s one of those ones that I keep on repeat. Favorite song to relax... I always relax to my girl Brandy’s song Sweet Nothings it just has some of the sweetest harmonies I’ve heard in a long while. You can’t go wrong with Brandy. Favorite song for a romantic date... I don’t mean to be cheesy but my song I Need Your Love. It is one of those songs that has a sweet melody and it always sets the mood for me. Favorite song to have to sex to... I love R Kelly’s song It seems like you’re Ready because its a classic baby maker. R Kelly’s music always take you to that sensual place when you’re with that special someone.

What’s your projects? I am currently working on my debut full length album titled Vocal Stimulation. I have finally narrowed the content down and I am hard at work writing and recording as we speak. I will be releasing my first single the end of summer and shooting the video over in the UK with VideoInk. They are one of the most creative production companies I’ve come across in a while. I will also be shooting a movie this coming fall with director Lewis Farinella in Florida. I just did a scortching collab with my brother from another mother Dream Kayris that will totally blaze the summer titled Give Me Your Love. Your favorite to describe your music? My favorite way to describe my music is using it as a metophor and it would be described as a pot of Gumbo. I feel I infuse all types of elements and genres to give you a flavor thats so intising that you’d surely come back for a several servings.

follow me @Jobee4eva 18

Top 3 favorite songs for this summer... My top 3 favorites for this summer has to be Usher’s Good Kisser, Danity Kane’s Lemonade, and Iggy Izalea’s Fancy. I think all of those songs are definitely going to blaze up the summer even more this year! Your 3 favorite current r&b singers... I have quite a few but my favorite 3 has to be Brandy, Jhene Aiko, and Miguel. I love all of their styles and how they stay true to real music. They are still maintaining a sense of relevancy, yet keeping that old school passion. Your 3 favorite models... My 3 favorite models are Tara Banks, Naomi Campbell, and Heidi Klum. I love all of these ladies not only because they’re insanely gorgeous, but because they’re trendsetters. They were’nt just pretty faces, they branded themselves.

“10 Years from now I hope to have my own radio show and also would love to have most of my bookings coming from overseas!”

Do you regard yourself as a DJ or a creator? I consider myself both a Dj and a creator. Every night and every day, I create something new from doing radio, mixtapes, clubs and engineering. Those tasks bring my creative side out as Dj and a producer. My job is to create the sound for the night life. As a Dj, it’s important to master all areas. That’s Key to success. Why is DJ DRAMA your model? I grew up listening to Dj Drama. He plays an important role when you mention my brand and my name. I watched how he followed his dreams and was still able to obtain his college degree. He’s a role model to kids and many other Djs. Watching someone become successful with their gift and help others in the process, who share the same goals and believes is a blessing. The key to this business is to help others. When you are put in a good position, help someone that’s on the rise. Dj Drama is a perfect example of helping.

Your name “NEW ERA”… Does it mean you are about to bring something totally new in the Industry? My name NEW ERA came from the New Era hats. I wear a lot of hats when I Dj. The 1st name I came up with was Dj Fitted Cap Low. Many people said the name was wack!! Lol. Dj Holiday really gave me my name. When I was in college, Holiday came to Huntsville, Al, to promote and do a lot of parties. Every time he came, I walked up to him with a tone of cds and I would had a (New Era) hat on my head. The third time Holiday came, I walked up to him. He said, ‘man how many hats do you own? Every time I see you, it’s a new hat. Your name should be DJ NEW ERA.’ What has been your biggest buzz so far? My biggest buzz came after college. I hosted a mixtape for an artist named Spank Lee out of Mobile, AL. That one mixtape lead to 9 more

Mobile Artist working with me and my brand. I also was booked several times in the area to host and Dj parties. I won Mixtape Dj Of The Year for the 2013 Real talk Magazine and I also was Nominated Slept of Dj for 2014 SEA. Working with Spank Lee helped my brand and helped my name. Shouts out to Mobile, AL. They show mad love. Keep your ears tuned to the streets we got more work coming! When you reflect on your life so far what’s the best thing you’ve done as a man? The best thing I’ve done as man is being a father to my son. He looks up to me and admires the fact I’m a hard worker. I’m a father before any of this. I also am a role model to many kids at his school. They ask question about my career and I give them good advice. Giving back is what God wants me to do and I spread his word through my music.

#TORONTO KRUSH!

How are you Tino? It sounds like you are a very busy entrepreneur! What are your current projects? Thank you for giving me the chance to talk about EXLEY. Currently, my team and I are working on our new technology platform that we believe will revolutionize the way we create and consume digital content. It will enable anyone to easily create and share content in a “mobile-native” format and at the same time allow you to easily find and connect with content that you love, cutting also facts from fluff. Can you describe your EXLEY concept in three words? Unique: We believe that there simply is no other concept out there like ours. Disruptive: EXLEY is designed to empower people to become media, it’s from the people for the people. Overdue People don’t believe in mainstream media anymore like they used to. A recent study showed that 77% of Americans said they DISTRUST the mainstream news institutions in the United States. How did you find this idea? This was a process. A few years ago, a friend of mine and I were looking at a few gossip and

entertainment news sites on the web. And then it just hit me as I realized that all these sites basically brought the same news, but with a local flavor. Still, you had to go to so many different sources, never really sure that you find what you were looking for. So the question was simple: why not create a “one-stop shopping solution”? People need to start finding and stop searching what they want to read. On top of all, I got so frustrated with the fact that all this wide-spread content was so hard to read on a smartphone. I got sick of all the scrolling, zooming and accidentally hitting of wrong buttons. It was like squeezing an elephant through a keyhole.That is why we re-engineerd the content production process. And last but not least, we realized that we all are the “eye on the street” - you, your readers, we all are. That brought us to the concept of “citizen journalism”. Is the new generation ready for your app? I truly believe the new generation is ready for our app and the idea and concept behind it. I also truly believe and hope that it will be a stepping stone in this monumental change we currently experience in media.

#2014 “One reason why we see so many young companies is their ability to react faster to new shifts and trends, and because they are amping up the innovation cycles of the industry.” Can you describe your “Portopong” concept in three words? 100% PORTABLE – It just is, what other product can you take in a lake, to a concert, in the pool, or inside for a party. AMAZEBALLS – It just is an amazing product – ‘nough said. FUN simply put, that’s what PORTOPONG was and is about, is having fun with friends. How did the fans welcome that innovating product? What do you think? We invented the world’s first inflatable beer pong table! They loved us for it! Granted we had a few haters that would yell at us “that was my idea”, but most of them just kept smacking their foreheads saying “why didn’t I think of that”. The Beerpong is so popular in North America... How can you explain that? We are sports addicted and more competitive than most others, plus I think there is a splash of ADD in us all, we like to keep entertained and moving all the time compared to some of our laid back counterparts around the world. Is there a demand for your product in Europe? And other continents? YES – Germany, Australia, UK, and Denmark love PORTOPONG and a big shout out to our neighbors up north in Canada. The Canadians

are really getting into it these days! We love seeing this global impact we have in a pong universe. What do you answer to those people who think you encourage the new generations to drink? I don’t – I encourage people to be social and play a fun game with each other, I don’t advocate being stupid, or abusive. I play with water in my cups and chill with a beverage of choice in hand and sip accordingly. You want to play with water or juice or nothing play the game and enjoy it – but don’t blame us if you think this was what sparked that generations behavioral issues. Is the “spring break time” your best market? Heck NO – spring breakers are cheap! They have spent all there hard earned parents money on buying tickets to destinations and any cash they have left is going to filling the cooler. Do we think they should bring a PORTOPONG – um – YEAH! Tropical places, pools, oceans, need a lead in to make new friends – how couldn’t PORTOPONG not help them.

As an innovator, what is your next challenge? Our biggest challenge is staying ahead of the rest and making sure people know the difference between the quality and thought that went into making PORTOPONG compared to other products. “My dreams are simple – make enough to live comfortably, buy an island, move to the island, and enjoy the rest of my days as king of the island!”

The first time you eat an Offenbacher fudge? My mother made the Original Recipe every Christmas. I was pretty young the first time I can remember enjoying it, but looked forward to it each year after that! I remember feeling safe, warm and loved! The first time you knew you would work in that field? #FudgeIndustry I started trying to make my mother’s fudge in 2009. I knew, when my friends tasted it and loved it, that it was meant to be.

@WhyTheFudgeNot

KELLY DIXON

#OFFENBACHER #FUDGE

The first time a celebrity talked about your fudges? It was last year at the MTV Movie Awards Style Lounge at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills. Besides gifting over 200 boxes of my fudge, celebrities were also able to sample on the spot; thus, creating instant feedback. The celebrities were great. They used Twitter, Facebook, emails and text about how much they loved my fudge! The first time a major TV Channel talked about your products? Actually Offenbacher Gourmet Fudge was featured on QVC last fall.

What are your favorite fudges? Honestly, I grew up being a fudge snob. I never ever found another type of fudge that could compare to my mother’s fudge. So her fudge was the one and only, the Original Recipe which is Milk Chocolate with English Walnuts! The perfect fudge for a romantic date? After my mother passed away and I started making her fudge, I created some new flavors. So I would say my Dark Chocolate Roasted Hazelnut Raspberry would be the perfect romantic flavor, wouldn’t you? Pair it with a nice glass of wine and do I need to say any more? The perfect fudge for the Valentine’s day? Let’s go with my Dark Chocolate Black Walnut Champagne flavor for this special holiday. Add a glass of bubbly and you’ve got a date! The perfect fudge for kids? My mother’s Original Recipe is perfect for kids. It was my favorite childhood memory. This recipe and tradition was started in 1938 when my mother got married, and was carried on every Christmas since then, over 75 years.

“My next challenge is creating a delicious snack food that is sprinkled with my amazing fudge.” www.offenbacherfudge.com For our readers, where do you come from? Where were you born? I come from the greatest and most underrated city on the planet in my opinion, Toronto. I was born and raised on the west side of the city, where I spent at least 90% of my youth. How is the local Hip Hop scene in your area? The scene is quite big if you know where to look, it gets as small as just passing bars back and forth at lunch tables to the very own King of the Dot, which is immensely respected everywhere. so you can say Toronto has a good mix when it comes to the hip hop scene.

REZZI

#TORONTO #CREATIVE @TheRealRezzi

The thing you love the most about your city? The thing I love most is not knowing all of it. I know that there are bigger cities in the world but Toronto is still large in my eyes, well, enough to say that I don’t know all of it completely. Now and then I still hear about or come across spots or even streets I’ve never heard of before. The thing you hate? Stress. that has to be the thing I hate the most. it’s never good for you, and it ruins people. I’d rather live stress free and devote my time to better things then to surround myself with that kind of negativity, which is never a good thing. Let’s talk about the message behind your music. Obviously, you are very involved in

Bully Prevention. Personally, did you face bullying at school? In my younger youth, I did and it was heavily too. It was something I had to take as a kid, something I couldn’t escape personally. with that said, it carried on till near the ends of my elementary school years, that’s when everyone decided that I wasn’t a fun target anymore. What is your message for all those victims who arent able to break the silence? Patience, and strength are both virtues. Bullying now-a-days is short lived, and the longer you go without letting it break you, the easier it becomes to break through from it. Pain is temporary, but achievement is forever. What are your upcoming projects for the summer 2014? My EP that will come out later in the year titled “Wall of Words”, definitely something everyone should be prepared for. That does not go without mentioning all of the other projects that are on the list! What are your dreams? Simple, My dream is to become the pinnacle of music. I look up to all of these Hip Hop heavy weights and know that I want to be better then my creators. essentially meaning that I want to take everything that has been done, and push the limits further.

“My EP that will come out later in the year titled “Wall of Words”, definitely something 23 everyone should be prepared for.”
