Milli Supreme Interview w/ Jazzy Rhia
After months of going back and fourth trying to get this Interview we finnally got to put it together. You know any younging that is focused and on there grind putting in hard work catches my attention. So its only right that we sit down with the fresh, educated , and talented Jazzy Rhia for this exlusive interview.
-Where are you from?
I'm originally from Atlanta, GA. After living there for 12 years my family and I moved to Orlando, FL. I finished up middle school and graduated High school there. With that being said, I claim both cities!
-Besides rap you also play instruments, at what age did you get into music ?
I started playing the violin at the age of 10. I asked this girl in my fourth grade class to show me her violin and when I saw that beauty up close, I was just eyes-wide excited. I asked my mom if I could learn to play and the next year we made it happen. Had no idea I'd take it all the way to College with me.
-Who are some artist that inspire you?
This is always the toughest question for me, simply because the list goes on and on! I'll try to make it short though lol. Starting from a child, the main artists I always admired were Missy Elliot, Aaliyah, Timbaland, TLC, Destiny's Child, and Ma$e. They were extremely dope to me and either had a positive message or just had fun with their music. As I got older, I really admired Gwen Stefani, Pharrell and Miri ben-Ari. Gwen and Pharrell are cross over and I see a lot of myself in them for that reason. I seriously dream of starting a band one day. As for Miri, she's the lady who inspired me to cover mainstream music on the violin. Till this very day I'm still extremely moved when Overnight Celebrity plays. The moment I realized I wanted to be a performer however was when I saw Beyonce live on The Beyonce Experience Tour. That was during my junior year of high school. Besides me being impressed by her commanding glow on stage, I was especially blown away by her all-girl band. That night I was determined to work towards being her violinist! Plans of course changed when I started writing music lol, but I still more than ever look up to Beyonce for being so dedicated. That Woman works hard!
-What are some essential things you need in the studio to keep you focused?
Fiji and jolly ranchers!
-Where do you get your sense of style from?
Growing up a tomboy, I'd say my sense of style comes from wanting to be comfortable lol. I started skating in middle school and the vans and ripped jeans just stuck. Chuck Taylors have to be my favorite shoe however. Also, growing up in the awesome era of Pop music, pretty much all the female artists had their belly showing. So in conclusion, I've adopted crop-tops, stuck with sneakers, and throw on lipstick and eyeliner to soften up the look a bit.
-When can we expect a mixtape or album to drop?
You can expect an Album dropping this Winter! The project is called "Synergy" and I'm along side the lyrically talented A.D. The Artist. I've decided that after this project I'm taking a hiatus as an artist and will be focusing behind the scenes through production and songwriting. With that being said, I've put my all into this album. In fact, I actually produced half of the track list.
Currently we have our first single "Energy" sweeping speakers! Be sure to check it out! (http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=Bdc09eBULoQ&feature=youtu.be )

-Do you think it's easier for a male artist to blow before a female artist?
Depends on the genre I'd say. When it comes to hip-hop, most definitely. Just look at the ratio of men to female in the game. And that number is not due to the lack of female talent out there. I relate it to basketball. We have the WNBA in which people respect Women for their talent of playing ball, but at the end of the day, how many people are buying seats to their games as opposed to the NBA? The rap game will forever be viewed a mans sport. That's what the target market is use to and that's the way the industry sees it as.
-Can we expect to see some jazzy rhia performances coming soon and if so what cities?
Currently there are no shows lined up, as I'm putting my all into the recording of this album. I'll be sure to send you the dates when the time comes however!
Thanks for doing the interview with us, go ahead and drop some shout outs and where the fans can get some of your music.

Exclusive Interview w/ Photographer "Cedrick Sutton"
So I got a connect with a good youth down in Lauderdale, founder "Cedrick Sutton" of Crazyboy Photography. Cedrick has been putting in work down there in South Florida, shoting with models and a few local and big name artist.
Interview Questions:
-How long have you been doing photography?
Long story short, I started back in high school where I would just take pictures at local clubs and parties of my friends. Before long, I was known as the camera man, posting pictures on myspace from every event me and my homeboys went to. Those were my amateur days. I started pursuing Photography as an art form two years ago, and things have been moving swiftly ever since.
-Did you go to school or have any training before getting into photography?
After high school, I decided to take night classes for Photography, teaching me about the formal basics such as exposure, lighting, and of course, Photoshop. I learned a lot and my instructor who is a professional photographer himself, even brought me back to his Studio in downtown Ft. Lauderdale to show me the ins and outs.
-What type of equipment do you use to get the best quality pictures?
Wow, where do I begin? In the studio, depending on the type of shoot, I mainly use two soft box strobe lights, a reflector, a beauty dish, an sometimes a ring flash. Those are just some of my favorite things to use to get the best shot possible.
-What are some major artists and models that you would like to shoot in the future?
One of my favorite musicians that gives me a lot of inspiration when I'm working is Curren$y, so doing a shoot with him would be epic. In the future, I would love to work with the beautiful Victoria Secrets supermodels Candice Swanepoel and Selita Ebanks. Rihanna's energy is dope, and I would love to take pictures of her one day as well.
-What are the big differences of shooting at live performances than shooting one on one w/ someone?
When shooting a live performance, it's all about catching the right moment or movement at the right time, as well as facing different elements such as smoke, colored light strobes, and mass amounts of people. When I shoot someone one on one, especially in the studio, there is a lot more technique and time involved.
- Do you have any events coming up soon that you will be shooting?
I am in the process of talking with a local theater company on taking pictures of their live performances in Miami. I just wrapped up shooting in Orlando for All-Star Weekend.
- Thanks for taking the time out to do this interview. Go ahead and drop some shout outs and any contact info.

Crystal-Lee Naomi Interview
Photo by: Derick G
Crystal-Lee Naomi is the woman with the beautiful smile popping up everywhere these days, from ads in the Caribbean with Digicel, to being in music videos with Young Money, T-Pain and Ludacris. You might have seen her spread in Jet Magazine and the Source Magazine, or even out on the red carpet with a star or two. Ms. Naomi is most definitely global, so you know it is only right for us to get an exclusive interview with the jaw dropping Crystal-Lee Naomi.
-Where are you from, and what is your background?
I'm currently in LA, but I was born and raised in Florida. I'm half black, half white. I'm part Russian, Jamaican and German-Dutch.
-At what age did you decide you wanted to Model/Act?
At age 18. I was in my freshman year of college at Florida A & M University in Tallahassee, Fl. I contacted a talent manager I knew about in Atlanta (because there aren't many in Tallahassee) and drove all the way there with two friends. From that meeting, I knew.
-How much different is having a part in a commercial than a role in a movie?
100% different. Working on both is so much fun but commercials are a much lighter deal than film. In film, you're more invested. You want everything to be right.. you spend a lot of time on it.. it's your baby.
-What are your likes and dislikes about being in music videos?
Hanging out with my favorite singer or rapper is pretty awesome. I had the most fun with Plies on set for the video "Hypnotize." I had my heels and a pair of sandals with me and he took my sandals, put them in his back pocket and kept them all day! He would occasionally taunt me with them like he wasn't going to give them back! He was really playful & kept me laughing. I haven't had a bad experience on the set of a music video yet. I don't want to jinx myself though!
-How was your experience with Lil Wayne on the red carpet?
First of all, I was wearing this over the top, ornate Victorian-inspired outfit on my first red carpet in November so it was cold and it started to rain, so it started off rough! But once everything started to get going, it was great. DJ Khaled, Fat Joe, Nicki Minaj, Drake, and even Stephen Hill was there. It was a huge event.
-What would you consider to be your biggest accomplishment in your career so far?
My biggest achievement is my lead role in the film "The Magic Ribbon." I had to dance, I had to cry, I got to meet and work with so many awesome people including Mia Michaels and.. I was the LEAD. That's everyone's goal. People go into show business to be the LEAD.
-Where do you see yourself within the next 3 years?
Hopefully in a feature film that my family members in Boston, New York, Florida & Jamaica can go see. If that happens in three years, I wouldn't know how to act! I'm serious, I wouldn't know if I wanted to pop a bottle or bust into tears! *laughing*
Thank you for doing this interview with us, I know we will be seeing alot more from you very soon.
Muah!
