How did you decide to pursue the entertainment business as a career?
First I became interested in acting. Modeling was second, and then rapping. I was a fan of Janet Jackson and I always knew that I wanted to do music and entertain, but I didn’t figure out how til a couple years later. Singing wasn’t for me. Groups like Salt-N-Pepa inspired me. Rap really started clinging to me, and I knew that this is what I wanted to do. I started doing little talent shows, and now I’ve got the acting and modeling and music. I’m constantly putting my music on hold for modeling, trying to juggle everything at one time.
What’s on your resume so far?
As far as acting, I’ve done several independent low budget films and a lot of plays and fashion shows in Jacksonville. We just wrapped up a movie in Miami called Street Money. I played a gangsta girl, and I end up killing one of the main characters. I’m like a hit girl. It should be at Blockbuster soon.
You’ve got a reputation around Jacksonville as a hustler. How have you earned that reputation?
[Photographer and Fantasy World publisher Aldrick Williams] says I’m his number one seller. He has two editions, the Men’s Edition and the Dimes Edition. I’m on the cover of both. I was one of the last girls to be added to the calendar.
Where do you sell the calendars?
Mostly in the clubs, barbershops, flea markets, and car washes. I get so much love, everyone’s supportive. If I’m in the grocery store, I’m outside like, “Hey, would you like to purchase a calendar?” I’m surprised that even females have been buying. They make good Christmas presents.
Do the guys that buy the calendar hit on you?
I get a lot of complements; they usually want me to hook them up with different girls. It makes them happy to buy it ‘cause you sign it for them. So, they’re telling their friends they know me or whatever and that’s what sells.
Any celebrities you’ve met?
I just did the Trick Daddy video for “Let’s Go,” that was a cool set to hang out on. I know Twista, T.I., they’re cool. I talk to Tigger every now and then.
Have you had artists offer to help out your career, with strings attached?
Yeah, I’ve heard that before. I usually walk away from situations like that, because people tend to pre-judge me. With the calendar, they figure I’d be willing to do certain things, but whatever I earn, I want to earn it the right way. I know it takes a lot of hard work and determination to make it in the industry, and I’m determined. I always pray about those situations. I’d never lower my standards.
What kind of guy are you looking for?
A guy who’s honest and supportive. A lot of guys can’t handle the fact that I’ve gotta communicate with other guys in the industry. I don’t want him to feel any less of a man. I don’t see the money, I’d rather have someone who likes me for me. I’ll support them 100%; I just need someone to be my backbone without any jealousy.
