My Booking for Model/Actress Bobbi Jo Kitchen for the Spragga Benz Music Video "Who Inna Di Middle".

I have been waiting for this video to come out for the longest time (at least a year or more)!! Usually I know when videos are out, but this particular video took a very long time to come out which was annoying. The video is called "Who inna di Middle" by popular Reggae artist Spragga Benz.


The song features my model Bobbi Jo Kitchen (50's Cents "I Get Money"). What people don't know about me and Bobbi Jo is that we went to college together. We always had mutual friends, would have casual conversation from time to time, casual acquaintances. The 1st time I met her was near the cafeteria at my college. I saw her and had to say something to her because I thought her beauty was magnificent. I went up to her as are mutual friends were talking and I said "You are so pretty. You need to audition for America's Next Top Model, they would take you", and she said "Thank you, I went, but they didn't take me". I replied back "they are retarded". Now the rest is history and in the present she is signed to my agency as as well as others and working very consistently. Consistently enough that I say Rihanna, watch the hell out!!! Bobbi Jo is not a musician, but she is coming for you!! Make sure your contracts with Covergirl are Iron Clad Tight!!!! She's hungry, and when the lioness is hungry, she needs to be fed!


Also speaking of Rihanna, I recently booked Bobbi Jo on a webisode job where she plays Rihanna in the Eminem "Love the Way You Lie" music video. I'm excited and cannot wait to see the parody as the previous parodies done by BarelyPolitical.com have recieved lots of press, and are really funny. Attached below are some links on their previous parodies:

Going back to the Spragga Benz Music Video..... I didn't even think the video was going to come out (which has happened before, and is really annoying), but it did and the video below is the result. I think the song is pretty okay. I didn't think it was Spragga Benz's best song, but it was cool. I got a great amount of feedback on it, and a lot of people have told me they hate the song (to each their own). The song may not be up to par with what some of his fans like, but when it comes to the presentation of the video I liked it. I thought it had a very reggae meets old school 1950's-60's Harlem feel. I also thought my model Bobbi Jo showed her acting skills, dancing, and personality all in this video.

Behind the scenes shots:



When all comes down to it only you can be the judge, but just letting you know. You can't judge me, you can only judge the artist and the director. They make the choices, and I just give them the supplies. They don't have to choose scissors if they have a knife, but scissors do cut more precisely. Damn me, and my on the spot metaphors! lol.

Check out the video:

Watching TV and my "Bare Naked Ladies" Music Video booking!


I'm watching Rachel Zoe on Bravo as I type this blog posting. It's the episode of Naomi Campbell's Haiti Relief Fashion show and models are not showing up. I totally get what she is going through because me as a booker I always get the backlash and look totally bad in the eyes of the client if the talent decides it's not important to show up!!! That is total grounds for dismisal, and is one of my biggest pet peeves with models. If you want to be a model dedicate yourself to it. You are not going to BE Naomi Cambell if you can't ACT like Naomi Campbell!!! Take that quote, read it, analyze it, and run wit it!



But going back into why I'm writing today, I just wanted to let you all know my clients Christopher Mello, and Emma Marin both have lead roles in the new Bare Naked Ladies Music Video. I was excited because I do videos all the time, but the Bare Naked Ladies are a very prominent and popular rock band. Ever since I was growing up I would always hear "Bare Naked Ladies" this, and "Bare Naked Ladies" that! Even though I was never an avid "Bare Naked Ladies" fan, after watching the video (called Subway Car), the direction they took with it, and the meaning of the song. It just makes me want to listen to them more. I also feel like i'm apart of history as I was one the one who had a hand in placing such talented people in their video.













Oh lord! "Freedom Writers" is on MTV. Why do they always make movies with the white woman from the suburbs who comes to the ghetto minority community and change them for the better. I'm not gonna lie....it's a good movie, but it's always the same old stories with these movies! LOL. I'm sooooooooooooo going of topic.


But yeah, definitely watch the music video below. It has a very urban-esc, at the same time beautiful feel to it. My clients are the graffiti artist, and the girl on the bus.


Until next time......I gotta change the channel!

Booking the new Jazmine Sullivan Music Video "Holding you Down (Going in Circles).




This monday (August 9th, 2010) I sent a bunch of my models, actors, and actresses to the Jazmine Sullivan Music Video audition for her new song "Holding you Down (Going in Circles)". When I 1st heard this song on the radio I was excited, and automatically knew the theme should be Old School 1990's, Kid and Play style (which it's going to be). I got a call on friday from the casting director and called all friday and on the weekend to get my talent to the audition. When monday came around I don't know what happen, but my talent started to drop like flies which started to frustrate me heavily because the casting directors depend on me to deliver the goods (being the actors). I got a couple of replacements, and in the end two of my actor/models (Angelique Velez and Christopher Lyle) were victorious in winning roles in the video. Angelique will be playing the role of Jazmine's Friend and Christopher will be playing one of the party goers. I was so happy because I have been a fan of Jazmine Sullivan since the "Lions, Tigers, and Bears" song! The song was written just the way I would've written it, plus her voice is very distinct from the average. Below is a shot of my client Christopher Lyle behind the scenes on the set of the video:



I'll update with the Music Video once it comes out!!!

My Celebrity Client Singer O'neal Mcknight gets press in US Magazine!


I am late on some of my updates so hang in there! New bookings, and more that I missed are on the way. A couple of months ago my celebrity client singer O'neal Mcknight (Universal/SRC) booked a reality show that I got him for the Halogen TV Network. “Noble Exchange” is a Halogen original TV series which explores what the West can learn from other cultures. Discover how the beauty, innovation and verve of people around the world can inspire and help you make a difference in your community. The next season which airs next year will have celebrities going to another country to learn a skill from a native of that country while touching on a social injustice. When I submitted O'neal Mcknight (as well as some other celebrities that will be revealed at a later date) I had to push hard by letting the producer of the show know that he is one of the best candidates. When it comes O'neal is he always for giving back to others, especially the children. Once the process of selling him was done, the next thing to do was to get the producer of the show to have a sit down with him to see where his head was at and if he was right for this project. When O'neal came into the office he came with this superstar swagger and totally sold the producer of the show. She called me with praise, and told me how much she wanted to book him for the next episode which was called "Noble Exchange: Brazil". I cannot wait to see the episode air next year (and next year cannot come any sooner!). When this piece of press came out in US Magazine Weekly I was so excited as now I have a piece of press to add to my portfolio of bookings!!

Reality Star Kiana Jenkins books Music Video for Artists "Chiddy Bang".



Excited. This is the first booking for my Reality Star Client Kiana Jenkins. Kiana is previously from the N Network's Teen Reality Show "Queen Bees". I was so excited for Kiana to get booked on this music video for the group "Chiddy Bang". The group consists of two guys (rapper and producer) with a very eclectic sound. Kiana is very featured in the video as she not only dances, but lip syncs the words.  I cannot wait for the footage to get out so I can see it. Google her for more info! For now you can check out these behind the scenes shots below:

UPDATES!!!!

I don't update the site too much, and I know I forget some bookings.
I'm probably missing a good amount, but these are just some of my favorites.








My Asian Persuasion Model Saglara gets booked for Neyo's Bday Party.






Saglara was chosen to strut her stuff as a model for musician Neyo's 30th birthday bash. When she booked it I was really excited because I wanted to go to Neyo's Party, and it's definitely a plus to have your model struting her stuff there. In the end I didn't end up going, but Saglara has a very distinct model face that actually took some people by shock at the party as she told me. I thought it was funny because she is like weirdly pretty!


Krystal Marshall books How I Met Your Mother
 Krystal Marshall lands a spot on the hit NBC sitcom,
"How I Met Your Mother."  When I booked her on this show
I was kind of shocked because I knew she had potential, but
until you book a role with a name that is not extra, I consider
you another actor. Her booking this role definitely put her up a
notch in my book!







Navajo books Disney
Navajo is a very lucky girl! Ever since she signed with the agency
she definitely gets a high quality of castings. The majority of all
her castings are always from Disney. I think she definitely has
 potential to be a Disney Star. When Navajo was booked for this
 job it was actually a direct booking which rarely happens. The
job I booked her on was for a new Disney.com web series
called, "Solution Street."

Greek
I was so excited when Amarian Woods landed a role on the hit
ABC Family show, "Greek!". Amarian is actually my first signee.
When I signed him he was actually recommended to me by
another one of my talented african american male actors in LA.
That actor knew I needed more African American males and sent
Amarian. I love Amarian because he is hungry!!! He really wants
success, and is definitely going to make it happen by all means.
The best way to make a connection with your booker is by being
their friend, and now I can say he is my friend. I submit him for
everything that he fits. It was a real process to get him booked
 on the show, but it was well worth it. 

Brianna gets booked on Nickelodeon
Brianna S. lands a spot on the hit Nickelodeon show,
"Big Time Rush!". When I booked her for a spot on Big Time Rush
on Nickelodeon it was really out of no where. At this time Brianna
was all over the place traveling so I was lucky to even have all
the right factors for her to be booked.


Spinmaster
Vanessa H. lands a female teen role on the next Spinmaster Toys
TV Commercial. This is her first booking with me!


Tim Chaisson Music Video
Rachel S. books the lead role in the music video for artist
Tim Chiasson's upcoming release. She is the lead girl for the
music video. She is one of my most requested girls in Toronto!!!






Dentyne Ice
Sean M is my hottest asian guy in Canada!!! I booked him on a
print advertisement for Dentyne Ice gum where he is kissing a
female model! Excited to see when the tear sheet comes out!
Boo yaka! lol.








Matt Barnes


Frazer M. shoots with top Toronto photographer Matt Barnes for a
product billboard and web to be announced. I love this boys look
and I'm glad to have to have him on board. He definitely has that
young sexy star appeal!!


These are just some....I know these are just some but i'm sooooooo
 busy so I had to give you a quick update. Comment guys!!!!!!!!!!!
Boo Yaka!!!! LOL.
