Producer / Musician
I am from Illinois, and this is also where most of my fan base is from. In 2015 I drove to Phoenix in hopes to spread my fan-base and make a little name for my self!
Growing up in Illinois is a different world of its own!!! You really can’t avoid whats going on around you. After a while I got tired of selling myself short in life, and made the hard decision to leave the BS in my past, and in my MUSIC! Now a days the whole industry is focused on being REAL when honestly they never endured the struggle... Being real doesn’t mean you got to be out there full throttle, but that your true to yourself and what you’ve been through and got going on!!!
MBM ent. (Me Being Me Ent.)
This is the label that I represent. As you can tell from the name, we don’t promote the regular agenda THAT YOU HEAR FROM JUST ABOUT EVERY ARTIST. BUT WHAT WE DO PROMOTE IS BEING YOURSELF AND ORIGINALITY!!!! (you will hear street songs because we talk about what we know, but we don’t proudly talk about it, we just been through it.)

Fitness with Fido
Fitness with Fido was created in 2015 because of my love for fitness and dogs. I have always been a dog lover and have worked with dogs my entire life grooming dogs or teaching agility, but I wanted to learn more and grow. For the most part of my life I have been into fitness, but got more involved with the nutrition side of it after doing a tough mudder event back in 2013 that really opened up my eyes to all the benefits of nutrition & exercising and how much better I felt after physically and mentally.
With all of those benefits of going to the gym, I kept getting very guilty looks from my dogs for leaving them at home. It also was taking a large part of my day walking and playing with my dogs and going to the gym. Then one day when I was walking my dogs Oscar and Princess Leah to the park I decided to start doing outdoor workouts while with them and I started saving a lot more time! I also got to spend time with them and also still felt good from exercising. After a few workouts I thought other people might like this too, and that’s how Fitness with Fido was created to spread my love of fitness and dogs together and that “you’ll always have a workout partner.”

24 years young, born and raised in Chicago. Started modeling at the age of 14 but I chose college over a contract. Graduated from SIUE in 2016 and immediately started back my modeling career. Had the pleasure of walking in Chicago Fashion Week, New York Fashion Week and the highlight was being featured on The Source Magazine Instagram story from Style Show in New York Fashion Week. My ultimate goal is to deliver babies & model. Working towards that goal now, while being a full time 8th grade science teacher and owning my own baking/party planning business Sister Sweets.
Sounds like a lot, and it is but I believe in going for all of my dreams; not settling for just one.

BOSS WITH MANY HATS
When it comes to the Music & Fashion industry New York & Los Angeles seem to be the reigning kings, but St.Louis isn’t too far behind. For the readers who don’t know, there is something happening in St.Louis that you have to see first hand to believe and most of it is being captured by the lense of St.Louis Native Tokyo Jai.
Tokyo pretty much has his hands in everything the city has to offer. He’s done it all from working with the VANACANA team on behind the scenes footage for the “Ferris Fashion Show” in 2017. In that segment he followed VANACANA Yoshi & VANACANA Mick around to give people a glimpse of the hard work put into the phenomenal event. Tokyo also has his own lifestyle brand “Winnerzo” which sponsors talent from every corner of the world from models to Musicians and even Skateboarders. Oh, but that’s not it!
During the winter of 2017 Tokyo linked up with fellow STL creative and signee of Tech N9ne’s music label Darrein Safron. After noticing how efficient Tokyo worked and his ability to talk to people, Darrein picked up Tokyo as his manager. Since then Darrein has had a short spring tour and a hand full of hard hitting visuals added to his portfolio with the help of Tokyo. We could keep going but I think you guys get the gist, Tokyo is a boss and has definitely earned that title
Be sure to follow him on social media!

I started this business at 18, working three jobs, unable to support myself. All of my funds went into growing my business and reaching out to as many creators as I could to get to where I’m at today. My mission statement is to educate and show individuals makeup is an art form, not a necessity. You should have fun with it, learn a new skill set and your face, and overall realize your natural beauty is amazing- this just accentuates what you already have and is a form of expression.

STAY WAR READY
In Summer 2015, owners KV, Tre, Shaun, and Wan came together to create the well-known War Ready brand. The inspiration for the name came from the ideology that if you stay ready you don’t have to get ready. In life, we are faced with many obstacles, but it’s up to you to take initiative to change the outcome of your situation.
KV, Tre, Shaun, and Wan took that ideology and made into a lifestyle. When asked what are the qualities of a person that’s War Ready, they stated that the person would be “tenacious, creative and innovative.” College students, rappers, and regular everyday people have been pictured rocking War Ready gear in the Midwest.We take pride in each and every product we make. From the start to finish, each product is designed with passion in mind. We take a much different approach to our products than others. Our goal is not to make products in large quantities, but rather to make unique and special products that everyone can wear with pride.
Owners / Founders - KV, Tre, Shaun, and Wan.
