Getting to know music artist Str8Cash
Nice to meet you! We would love to get to know you! Tell us about you: “Str8Cash” I’m a upcoming artist making a name for hisself in the music industry born and raised in Gallatin,Tn. I’ve been doing music since I was 13 or 14 years old I started off rapping with one of my best friends “DooWay” but he went by “Deezi” at the time we had a group called Starlife.We rocking the teen shows in Nashville and other surrounding areas.We had linked up with Charlie P and Sonny Paradise who had a buzz in the Nashville with the music and we was part of Black Fly Music when it was up and coming at the time.Long story short I had end up getting caught up in the system and getting sent off to Juvenile and end up getting my charges bound over as a adult at 16 years old.They end up letting me out at 17 years old on 13 years probation.So when I came home I started messing with the music here and there but I didn’t take it as serious as I did back then because keep in mind I got a 2 year old son at this time so I’m trying to provide for him.So I jump back in the streets and try to do what I did at the time and end up getting caught up again and got sent off to prison 3 and half years until I paroled out 2015. I’m talking about I didn’t even stay out 70 days after I got out and got caught up wrong place wrong time and got my parole violated and sent me back to prison for 4 and half more years and I came home 2020.I’m just thinking the whole time I’m incarcerated I got to do something different when I come home I had already been working on my rapping skills while I was in prison letting me cell mates and other inmates hear some of my songs I was writing and they were f*cking with it,and told me I’m crazy if I don’t get out and push it.Music always been my second love I use to always want to play the drums when I went to church with my grandparents as a kid.My music is a form of self expression,my pain,and frustration I got through in everyday life.Everything I rap about is from experience.I don’t rap about stuff that goes on in the streets to influence or glorify that path.I’m just giving it to them raw and uncut, you can either take this path,but you go this route this is the outcome.This is what come with it,ain’t no straddling the fence! I had to open my eyes and realize that the hard that’s why I try to motivate and keep it real as possible with my fans and show them that anything is possible and never give always chase your dream it’s never to late.It’s a day to day struggle I know wher I want to be in life but we don’t know what tomorrow may bring.But I know my higher power will give me the knowledge,wisdom,and understanding that I need to get through whatever obstacles come my way.Because I do this for my kids and family and try to be the best father I can be and give them opportunities and access to things I didn’t have growing up that’s my biggest accomplishment in life.I want to be known in the music industry as a humble, solid, stand up individual,and role model to the youth because they are the Future! -Str8Cash-

Getting to know model Arlene Taylor
Tell us about you: My name is Arlene Taylor and I was born and raised inFort Lauderdale, Broward County, Florida. My love for Modeling comes from my love for Fine Art; being given a space to create visual to appease the eyes and cultivate wonder in people's minds. Growing up, I took very few pictures because I felt self conscious about my height and being underweight. I was also the friend taking the pictures because I "got the angles just right". Modeling has brought into my life a higher level of self-confidence that I can use to triumph in all opportunities that come my way in life. Now being in front of the camera, I can be a part of the art i was always taking pictures of. What makes me stand out is my analytical mindset and how well I adjust in a situation. From the settings to the camera lense is a multiple different perspective depending on where you're standing. I put myself in the photographers shoes so I can better control what narrative I'm telling with my body language. Being a more mature model also means keeping a leveled head at all times, being great at Time management, and having persistence in my craft.

Getting to know music artist RoyalDBlack
Tell us about you: My artist’s name is RoyalDBlack, and I was born and raised in Greenville, North Carolina. I was raised by my mother and father. My father left me when I was 13 and I don’t hear from him much. I use that pain in my music and I also use that pain to push myself to be the best artist I can be. I grew up with three siblings and I was the oldest. I felt like I had a lot of weight on my shoulders when I found out my mother was diagnosed with heart failure. I had to take care of my siblings and mother when I was only 15 years old. Music is the only thing I had back then to make me feel like me.

Getting to know music artist FTF Yungyin
Tell us about you: My name is Ftf Yungyin. I am from Richmond Virginia. Music has always been my passion. I love the way it makes me feel, the way it dictates my moods, the way it uplifts me when I’m down , or motivates me when I need an extra push. I’ve loved music for as long as I can remember, but I really fell in love with music in of the the darkest times in my life. When I thought everyone and everything was against me and world turned its back on me, music was there. It was my heartbeat for the time I felt alone and it completed my soul. For every emotion I went through or felt, there was a song to match it. Every since then music has been a lifestyle for me. As a rapper/musician I stand out amongst others due to the fact that I am extremely versatile. I can sing , rap , harmonise, and freestyle without having to wonder how I’m going to do it. I can rap about ANY AND EVERYTHING. From cars , shoes , women etc. to more worldly topics like poverty, struggle, hustle. Another thing that makes me different is the story that I come with. I’ve been through so many things in my life that most people wouldn’t be able to overcome and I Shaped it into something positive, I learned to face it , I made it become apart of the ink that spilled from my pen, and most importantly, I used it to make everyone I ever came in contact with motivated. In five years I not only want to be an accomplished musician, but a successful business man , an entrepreneur, a father , a family man , a role model, and a mentor to those who can lean on me when they are in need. Also in that five year span I hope to own a couple establishments. I want a few rental properties, restaurants, food trucks , bars , clubs , and hopefully a clothing line as well. I don’t have a limit as to what I want to accomplish because the sky is truly the limit for me. What would make me the happiest is being the first person in my family to actually be able to say I made. I’d like to put my family and friends in better positions so that we all can function and live comfortably. Although I am focused on music I’d like to finish school at some point in my life just to tell my mom I kept my promise. Id like to win a couple of music awards and meet some of the big names I grew up on. When I’m making music I bring nothing but raw energy, fun , hype , swag, excitement, hustle , hard work , talent , good vibes , great story telling , creative ideas and new sounds. I bring MYSELF which i fee like is most important because I am truly one of a kind. When it’s my time to go and the light dims on me , I want to be remembered for not only my creative bodies of work , but for what I’ve done for people behind the music. I want to be known as a good human being with a kind heart , a good father , a good son , a good family man , a good friend, a God fearing man who would give you the shirt off of his back if he had. I want people to remember that I not only changed the music world but in some way shape or form I changed and influenced them to be a better person. I want to be remembered as a legend.
