Interview with Doughboyz Cashout!

A couple days ago I got a chance to interview one of the most popular rap groups from Detroit, Michigan, Doughboyz Cashout! Although, I didn't get a chance to speak with the entire group I was able to chit chat with HBK, Roc and Quis.

 

Charisma: Who or what inspires you?

 

DBCO: We're inspired by legendary Detroit artist like the Streetlordz and Rock Bottom.

 

Charisma: Okay. When did you realize you had a passion for music?

 

DBCO: Everything pretty much started back in high school. So like back in 2005.

 

Charisma: If given the opportunity, which artist would you really like to work with?

 

DBCO: Definitely Boosie! Jay-Z too. We can really relate to both of them.

 

Charisma: What were your emotions once you found out you were going to be signed to Young Jeezy's record label CTE?

 

DBCO: Umm, we were excited but honestly we really inked that deal for the city. Before we got our deal we were already making $7,000 a show.

 

Charisma: What's your all time favorite Doughbyz Cashout song?

 

DBCO: We don't really have one. We love them all!

 

Charisma: What do you like to do in your spare time?

 

DBCO: Family time!

 

Charisma: Okay, this is my last question. What advice do you have for young children/teens especially males trying to sccoplish their dreams?

 

DBCO: Stay focused and stick with your dream and remember that doing something illegal is not the only way to make money.

Interview with DJBJ 3525

Today I had the pleasure of interviewing one of Detroit's most popular disk jockeys, DJ BJ also known as Mr. 3525!

Charisma: Who is your inspiration and why?

DJ BJ: My family! Mainly, my brother. He really inspires me to be better. Another thing that really inspire me is the area we came from.

Charisma: What is your biggest goal/dream?

DJ BJ: I want to accomplish a lot in my life but my main goal is to own my own radio station. I would like to have something online and also on xm radio.

Charisma: When did you realize you had a passion for music?

DJ BJ: My father actually use to own his own record store and he would always show me classic album covers. However, growing up I could never sing or rap but I still loved music so being a dj came naturally. I'm a very hands on person!

Charisma: Are you working on any music projects as of now?

DJ BJ: Yes! I'm actually working on my first album which will be titled either "3525 The Album or 2K14". I like 2K14 because I feel like it's going to be a really good year. I've already released over 160 mixtapes so I'm very confident about this album.

Charisma: How long have you been a dj?

DJ BJ: I actually started at the age of seventeen but I didn't begin to take it serious until I was twenty years old so that means I've been doing it professionally for about five years now!

Charisma: What do you like to do in your spare time?

DJ BJ: I'm a major studio junkie. I love being in the studio! I could just grab some food and chill in the studio all day. Other than that I like to relax! Honestly, there's no such thing as spare time because it's always something that needs to be done.

Charisma: What artist would you like to work with and why?

DJ BJ: I would like to work with the legendary females such as Foxy Brown and Lil Kim. Hov, of course. Rich Homie Quan. If given the chance I would really like to work with DJ Drama because he's a major inspiration and he switched the whole game as a dj.

Charisma: What advice do you have for young children/teens especially young men trying to accomplish their dreams?

DJ BJ: My advice is to stay motivated and try to motivate others. There's no better feeling than knowing you helped motivate someone to pursue something they've always wanted to do.

Charisma: Okay, last question. If you could help out the world in one way what would you do?

DJ BJ: If I could help out the world I would end racism because it still exist whether people believe it or not. I would like to be the voice of the youth and have to opportunity to educate.

Interview with Professional Make-Up Artist Uno!

 

Last month I was introduced to the lovely Eguono M. Ponius also known as "Uno". I met Uno at the 2013 Posh Amore Fashion Show where I participated as a model. I was so impressed with Uno's creativity with make-up and skin care that I had to ask her could I interview her for my blog!

Charisma: How long have you been a make-up artist?

 

Uno: I've been a make-up artist for eight years now.

 

Charisma: What's your favorite skin care line?

 

Uno: My favorite skin care line is Cetaphyl.

 

Charisma: What's your favorite make-up line?

 

Uno: My favorite make-up line is MAC and Urban Decay.

 

Charisma: Who is your favorite make-up artist?

 

Uno: My favorite make-up artist is Alexandra Butler. She's amazing!!!!

 

Charisma: If presented the opportunity to be a celebrity make-up artist, who would you make your primary client and why?

 

Uno: My primary clientele would be Queen Latifah and Jill Scott. The reason why is because they both are beautiful, have amazing features to work on and they both seem to be so humble.

 

Charisma: What advice do you have for future make-up artist trying to break into the industry?

 

Uno: The advice I have for future make-up artist trying to break into the industry is to first and foremost ALWAYS remain humble and treat people good. Be professional and have a good attitude, that is sooooo important. Always be willing to learn because make-up is trendy, everyone wants to be an artist. Study local artists and youtube videos are a great tool also!!!
