For many female artists, the grind to be considered an equal in the rap industry is a struggle in itself. You have to seperate yourself from the booty - shaking video girls and stand alone, as a true icon. 21-year old Mystik hailing from the Greater Philadelphia area, has been doing this since she was 17. "One of my friends that I used to record with, his brother was agent in New York. As soon as his brother heard me, he came right down to meet me."
A chance meeting with a talent agent from EON Modeling Agency (Also known as Elements Of Ninja; Founded by the late Willi Ninja; Vogue Dance and "Paris Is Burning" Icon), landed Mystik a management deal and a move to the Big Apple; New York City. After living in NY for a few months, she was accomplishing many things. "I was only 19 and doing so many things, that I never thought I could do. From performing at the Crobar and even recording my demo at Boogie Down Productions in the Bronx."
Two years later, with new management; she has performed, worked with and even opened for Missy Elliot, Slim Thug, Jim Jones (Dipset), MC Serch (3rd Bass), and Prince Paul. She was even featured on a VH1 Reality Show entitled "The White Rapper Show" (scheduled to air January 2007), where she competed against other white emcees for $100,000. "It was a really great experience for me. I brought the cameras to my neighborhood, so they could see where I come from and what I rap about." Also, this past September, Mystik joined Crime Mob and Fabo of D4L on the Outwork Me College tour, the biggest east coast college tour this year. "I'm was really excited about it, getting to leave home and get my name out there." said Mystik.
With a new fashion sponsorship by Get Money Girl and a tour underway, Mystik is setting her goals high. "I feel as though, the industry really needs a white female to be out there. We buy cds too, and there's no one to represent us. That's where I come in. I'm not Britney, I'm no diva. I'm JUST me."
