On his success so far:
"Real exciting and fun. I never thought it would be so such commotion around the net and on Connex247 about my pictures and image. I love what I do and its great getting all the attention. Im a very visual person so I wanted to come off with very strong and powerful look. Sometimes I can look back and wonder if it is really me on all those billboards and magazine. Feels unreal sometimes.
On modeling:
When it comes down to modeling. I put down a lot of work to it. Its important to give the image a certain look or feel to it, give some attitude and persona for a great image
On his goals:
I feel I still have some goals within the modelling industry, I want to try different looks, new photographers more ad-campaigns which I find very challenge and rewarding.
On his music:
Last couple of months I have been working more with music. Since its a big passion of mine. Im listening mostly to Hiphop/RnB but also alterative Rock and want to blend in different genres to something original and new. I love the piano, strings, and hard guitar riffs. I write a lot of lyrics and want to start mixing up some melody and beats. I got some many crazy ideas I would like to experiment with. That would be a big dream coming true for sure.
On dancing:
Sometimes I can just dance for hours to something I like. So working as a dancer is not work at, for me its just a nice time.
On being a fitness model:
People tend to think working as a Fitness model you go to the gym and basically live there. Which is not true at all. I can easily be done with my exercise within 1 hour. I think its what you eat that ultimately will be the factor of your current fitness shape.
On fashion shows in Europe:
The incredible energy of the audience at fashion shows is amazing over here in Europe. Its definitely a kick to boost your self-confidence, which I think is important when you want to do something you really have set your mind to it. I take all the tension and nervousness before all the shows and took them to something wild and energetic.
On the future:
Im looking forward to travel more in the US. Miami last year was awesome and suited me very well together with NYC. This time around I hope I can see more of Florida and explore possibilities over there. I feel very drawn to Florida. I feel more at home there than in Europe.
