Rolling Stone magzine issue ( Heineken)

 

Before I write about this I just want to thank my good friend Naeem and Scott B. owner of (Artwingny.com). These two gentlemen were the reason why I was able to have this rare experience. This is Deadmau5 in human form. When he saw all of the models come to the space for the shoot the first thing he said was "This is not my typical group of people". Might seemed obnoxious when he said that and walked away but I took it as. " I am not used to seeing good looking people like this group we have here for my kind of music". In this photo (uptop) I walked up and showed him my phone showing him his song "Not Exactly". I said "Hey man I just want to tell you that I listen to this song every single day. He replied " wow man that song is Old man! ". I replied "its old but its great cardio music in the gym, your work is very appreciated" There were two or three shots in the magazine but I only have this one. I dont like the way I look in it but resume credit is resume credit none the less. I remember being very drunk to say the least, thanks to the nice staff @ Heineken :).  I didnt even recognize myself at first but I had to party hard for the kind of energy they needed for the concept of the shoot.

My mother wanted to kill me for not being able to buy the Rolling Stone magazine issue off the shelves around that time. I attempted to look for it on several occasions but I was laxed about as far as having urgency, because it might not be on shelves the next day. I learned my lesson now, so for every magazine I am in I will buy as many issues as my money allows me to buy. I'm in the lower left corner. Its a shot of me screaming whooooo!!

 The infamous Deadmau5 Mask version 2.0 I believe. It was an honor to be able to look and feel the mask up close and personal...

For a huge house music fan like me, this is a dream come true...

It was a Scott sandwich

My interview w/ my big sis

This is the 3rd interview I ever did so far. The first was with Kenya Stevens (www.JUJUMAMA.com) on a radio show with her husband and pornostar Sinnamon Love. (She wasn't the friendliest in person. I still was shocked to see her for I was a fan of her porno flicks...)

The second was Radio Host Sherwin XXL at a party I was hosting at the Promenade NYC. Both times I was surprised when the interviews took place. I was not prepared for the questions but I rose up to the challenge of answering them with quick instinct. Before I did this one I wasn't prepared either but wanted to show my sister that I was able to think fast enough if I was to be in a real interview. Though it came out ok I still think of it as a rough draft. Not the content but the sound, lighting and etc. Plus I was talking too low as usual, but it was great practice, Thanks Big Sis!!

If I can describe my mood with a song right now...

Distant Light by (Jimpster)

Calm

While reading" The Shark" Daymond John in his book( The Brand Within) he said "The way you start your morning can set the tone for the rest of the day". When I want to start my day in a calm relaxing mood I put on Pandora and type in (Jens Gad). Reminds me of the view on july 4th 2011 on the west side highway with my ex.  I'm a huge fan of relaxation/chill out music too......

If I can describe my mood with a song

Dark and gloomy.  We separated right before my bday.. That sux!! This is a memorable 25th Birthday present.

LMFAO (Reminds me of you) Club remix

I love this beat when it plays in the club! Especially when I am drunk as I am right now baby! WHOOOOOOO!!

What happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas!!!

This is one of my favorite songs for this year. I want to go back to vegas thanks to Kenya Stevens (www.JUJUMAMA.com) I finally got to experience it for the first time. It will be my bday in a few hours. Had a breakup 2 days before today so feeling a little down but will go to Lavo to let my stress free or Catch, 1 OAK, Marquee maybe.. I can go to 80% of the clubs in NYC I know everybody...........

The Chip Squad (My SuperBowl Failed! Commercial)

I could of been famous a tad bit quicker if this commercial would of made the super bowl. It sucks that we had so many funny moments but it had to be cut because it can only be a 30 second commercial to enter the contest. Amateurs!! Im near the end of the commercial..

If I can describe my mood with a song right now...

My Motivation Video

I watch this video to get the fuck up and go to the gym when I start getting lazy. This is not the usual Tyson people are used to seeing but it reminded me that he is from the bronx. I just look at 0:08 and 0:23 then I just get a jolt of inspiration to start hitting the bench...

Favorite chillout songs

I don't know what the fuck they are saying but I like it. I believe (Likufanele) means in african zulu language "it fits you". One of the many songs of the british band (Zero7) has to offer check them out.. Except for their last album, just stick with there 2nd and 3rd....
Someone quoted on youtube "If this song was a vagina I would unspeakable things to it" Lol I find that funny

I used to be a Bouncer

When I was younger and even more financially challenged than I am now I used to window shop alot. I eventually would go on long meaningless walks as I became older and found myself traveling to the city once in a while out of boredom. I had a pair of head phones and a new cd player one day so I began to walk around in times square 42nd st area, and as I was walking I happened to walk by a club named the China Club. I heard about the club in a show called the Dave Chapelle Show which was very popular @ the time.

When I looked at the front of the club I saw one of the first celebs that I seen in person. Her name was "Kelis" and I just happened to be a fan of her music so naturally I was star struck. Right near Kelis was a tall bouncer which was standing right near her, so close that he can kiss her if he wanted to. Thats how I got the idea of becoming a bouncer. If I was able to get that close to a celeb then I can probably get to know one. I got exactly what I asked for when I started bouncing when I was 21. My first body guard assignment was Shaquille Oneal @ a restaurant named Tao.

From there I encountered celebs such as Uma Therman @ (The Gates), Vin diesel @ (Goldbar), Nick Cannon @ (a event called the Stoli Hotel),   Fabolous (Cain), Vince Carter (Cain), Kristin Davis (Cain), Tyson Beckford (Surflodge Montauk L.I), Kelis (Cain), Nas (The Gates) etc.There were only a handful that I actually snuck a quick conversation with. It was fun for a little while but eventually I stopped bouncing. I had a hard time finding dignity with in myself working as one. After bouncing around to different places and eventually working at bars I didn't find any pride being one as before.

I got into real estate so I can feel better about using my brain other than my body for making money. At the same time I realize that if it wasn't for security I would not have met all of the people that I have in my life now. I met beautiful women, celebs, got great connections, met billionaires, models and people I would have never met if it was not for the club scene. I think I might get back into it once a week a loved one suggested to me. Have to find a new club I never worked in before........

I think I might give up after seeing this. Watch out Tyson

I saw this video and I thought to my self, if there are models like these alive and running. I might as well give up the hot pursuit of a career in the entertainment field. This man is just the full package. Now I should see what I'm going to college for.. Maybe I should be a Publicist or something.....

Favorite cardio songs/ The Priors-What you need (Dcup remix)

Try running to this song with brand new purchased headphones on the treadmill or the bike.. Close your eyes and enjoy the euphoric sounds...

Acting Head shots

I never paid for any pictures in my life. Other than $50 for my first ones since 2008 until this year. Now that I am with Silver Models I start noticing the difference between freelance modeling and modeling with an agency. I might have created a small buzz in my model resume but I still have ways to go until I am noticeable in the entertainment field. So I know modeling is a very shady and hard industry to be in. It is much more than working out, looking good, and going on castings. It is still an industry where models come a dime a dozen so to get ahead of everyone else I want to start building a acting resume while pursuing success in this field. Ultimately acting breathes lucrative longevity in the long run. I am using modeling to open more doors for me so when I am done, getting a gig will be a easy thing. My agent referred me to Dorothy Shi (www.Shistudiosnyc.com) a long time professional photographer who has been working with my agent for over 20+ years. Her price was cheap and her work talked for its self so I ended up getting some professional head shots from her. It seems that even though I am spoiled when it comes to not paying for pictures I see that sometimes paying for your own pictures for the real professionals are worth it.. But that doesn't mean I might be spending another dime any time soon...

The Big Book Of Sex Toys. (Quiver Books Productions)

The Big Book Of Sex Toys

So this book was my first national project, which could be found in Barnes @ Nobles. I got this gig while I was bouncing in a nightclub at the time named "Cain". There was a event for a lady named Kristin Davis. The irony of the situation was that just the day before I worked that event, I just happened to read about her in the daily news.

The article described how this now retired female pimp better known as the infamous "Madam of Manhattan" was discovered going on a date with Yankees superstar A.Rod. The article went on talking about her career as the most successful female pimp ever known in New york City history praising her successful reign for such a long period of time. She had the richest clients imagined and she even serviced the governor at the time named Eliot Spitzer. He was later on caught and exposed for buying escort service and so on and so forth.

So the event happened that day and I remember gawking at the woman's huge boobs as she walked into the nightclub for her event. I didn't really get to see her after that until she left but it was just a coincidence that she happened to stop by that night after just reading about her story. Fate had it that the next day she would return again, this time for a penthouse magazine event. They were auctioning off people for dates @ the event as the night unfolded. I remember going to the bathroom and all of a sudden hearing someone stopping me saying (excuse me!). I look and it just happened to be Kristin Davis herself asking me to come listen to what she had to say. She said "my gosh you are gorgeous you should be auctioned off tonight on the stage".

 I didn't know what to say but I had to let her know that I just finished reading a whole article on her and I was surprised to meet her. Sitting next to her was a woman named Laine Speiser who jumped into the conversation and we were chatting away. As a end result Lainie ended up asking me if I would like to be apart of a upcoming project. She said "I know you might be concerned about your image and all but its not fully naked and it will give you good exposure". She also said " I usually don't do this but you are the only guy I have ever asked to do a project with". So without a hesitation I said yes to it.

 Not knowing exactly what to expect I had a good vibe about Lainie so it all worked out in my favor. My partner's name is Anju a penthouse model. She was on VH1's "My Antonio" and a few magazines for penthouse books, mini series and etc. It was fun working with her on a professional note. In the pictures we seem to be really into it but honestly it was all acting. Most common question asked about these pictures was I actually having intercourse? LOL. The book is actually an educational book of various sex toys and the proper way to use them.. its not porno...

Firefighter test

Every time I pass by a firefighter recruiting station the scouts go crazy over me. Almost feel like a woman walking past a construction site on their lunch break. I guess I fit their ideal look for what a firefighter should look like. So finally they got me to come sign up for the test this coming january.. It sounded like fun despite the obvious danger of getting burned alive. From what I heard you could work 3 times a week and lift weights all day out of boredom. Of course there is a up hill battle just to join such a job.. There is the tedious state test of course and there is the dreaded training to go through..Im confident in my physical abilities but I'm going to have to step my game up after seeing this......

Retired

All right so these two pictures have single handedly led me through the last 3 years of modeling since 08. Now going on my 4th year next year it is amazing how recycling these pics even though I don't even have anymore hair on my head has gotten me so much work. From the Big book of sex toys project I did, to the Doritos Commercial (which didn't make the super bowl :(.... ) and etc, its been a true life saver. I got these pics while walking up and down 125th St Harlem, NY. I walked by a skin shop store that I wanted to check out. The name of the store is Makari. The products are kind of pricey but really compliments brown/dark skin of any race. As soon as I walked in the guy @ the counter asked me if I was a model and as I replied yes it didn't take much time to get into conversation. In a really brief instant shortly from initial contact he asked me if I was doing anything the next day for there is a shoot being shot and if I wanted to come and take a "Look".. So the next day I went down to the shoot to take a"Look' at this photo shoot. Upon entering I see a guy fully naked posing barely showing is genitals to the camera. First thoughts were "Ok, I guess I can be open minded.. I mean I only came to "look" anyway" Next few minutes the guy that invited me turns to me and said ok so put this on and put this on. These two things were baby oil and a pair of tighty whities.. Second thoughts were "Ok so I just fell victim to the notorious Bait and switch scenario that I always heard about, at the same time I just got a haircut and I my body looks good. Im going to be open minded as long as there is no uneccesary advancements being done. So as a result these two pictures were then born... But its time to retire these two, for they have been used to the maximum limit that any picture can being ever used. Its time to update my portfolio.. R.I.P

Surprises

Sometimes there are photo shoots that were done in the past that I forget all about. Then it amazes me when I hear it on some website or somewhere it does not even belong (Which has happened before). I did this shoot last year sometime when it was cold outside. Thats as far as my memory chooses to serve me. Not crazy about this pic but it feels good to see yourself being used for some ones advertisement. Still cant wait to be surprised and see that billboard in Times square.. Heres the link...   http://isobyjds.gostorego.com/travel-business-luggage/men-apparel.html

Favorite Workout Songs: DeadMau5- Faxing Berlin

All of my DeadMau5 songs get me in the mood to run at least 3 miles on the Tmill. Not to mention I had the honor of meeting the man in a Ad I did in Rolling Stone Magazine. My thoughts of meeting him is he sure didnt know how many people actually loves his music........
