About Me


MEDIA PERSONALITY / PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER / MEDIA PROPRIETOR
Currently I run my media holdings company Digital First Strategies , working as a conduit between multimedia companies and the fashion industry, mixing campaigns with brand positioning. I'm also a published photographer on the side - In addition, I have my own reality series Holliworld TV and produce video content here and there for TV shows.
I also hosted my own talk show, Avenue 1 Radio, in 2007.
Within the fashion industry, I'm described as a "bad-boy" type because of my shrewd business style, being outspoken, and for concealing my private life (all are considered taboo in that industry).
I'm perhaps best-known for founding the former NY modeling powerhouse Urban Renewal Media (URM) in 2003 before its folding in late 2007.
Started out in the music industry in 1992 as a rapper under HUSH Entertainment (Freddie Jackson, Tanya Blount, Najee), working under the Force MD's & Joseph Powell (Johnny Gill) in the group "Out of Order"
