M X y M A G |Inside the Silhouette of a musicians soul. (part 1) (Part 2) (Video)

One of the big things that I ask for from models is to send in pictures that tell a story. With that said in my opinion I feel that it's harder for a model to take a picture as oppose to an actor telling you a story in a movie.

Why? Because a model has to be able to tell one good story with one single picture. It's a harsh task but when she nails it down the picture becomes timeless. A good example is the Marilyn Monroe picture. It has withstood the test of pop culture and as a black man I don't see a white woman posing I just see a WOMAN posing and being free. Though the life of Norma was a tragic one she gets to live free and forever through that picture

I remember telling Malayika that Jaida has a picture that tells a story of a woman on her bed, its right after the honeymoon and she is ready to make love to her husband for the first time. As time went on Jaida sent more pictures some of them we won't use for the site because I didn't feel they were appropriate for what we are trying to do.

However these new pictures marks the first time that we have used nudity on the site without me feeling like we are taking the value down. It's also a statement to you models out there that even if you have clothes on that your pictures may bring value down.

In these shots we as a people can look at a woman and appreciate the qualities of what she symbolizes in our lives. It's inside the Silhouette of a women's soul.

Have a good read, Enjoy the video interview. Thanks Jada

INTRODUCE: I was born on June 17th in Toronto Ontario (North York to be exact), to a wonderful woman who has supported every decision I have ever made in life and has always looked out for my best interests. I am of Trinidadian descent on my moms side and Bajan. I am Trini and native on my dad's. I know it’s a crazy mix but it worked out HOT!!

SEXY: To me I think that sexy is measured by our hearts it is a feeling of knowing and being completely comfortable with yourself both physically and mentally and only when you completely love yourself do you have that feeling of being sexy

NUMBER 1: I am a confident female however I do not think I am better than anyone we are all beautiful and strong in different ways!!

MOTIVATION: I am a mom I have an angelic little girl who inspires me to push harder every day. So I for sure have the ambition and drive the love of my talents has always been there and I am on the road to greatness!!

HATE: I really hate hypocritical people ...say what you mean and mean what you say or just keep it to yourself!!

Fear: I have a terrible fear of heights that I have not gotten over yet ... this may be a n issue on my first flight but I'm a soldier I think I will do good..lol..

As an artist, what do you think of the state of music industry: I think the music industry has become more about money cars and all of that and has lost the real relation to the people who listen to it i mean if I'm working real hard living paycheque to paycheque like some do the last thing i want to hear is how i should be making it rain!! lol

Explain the struggle of a female artist: Being a female artist in this industry is hard ...we have so much expected of us... in some cases if you’re not pretty enough or are not willing to do certain things it could ruin your whole career trust me. I was involved in a bad situation and almost turned into a complete sex object in a bad way. If I never made a stand for myself, I mean this guy was trying to take total control of my life his most famous line was "listen to me young jai and you'll be a star in no time"

It’s a man’s world: In this industry it's a man calling the shots and making the noise so in that sense it is a man's world however more and more women are stepping it up. We’re taking over they just haven't really noticed...oops...lol!!
