SUPERMODEL MIGUEL PERDOMO, ARTIST JOHNNY MEDINA “J MCFLY”, AND ARTIST I AM PURE
According to our interview here is a little bit about each individual...you may also google them!
MIGUEL PERDOMO:
Perdomo now 28 years old, has been a male model for ten years. He began modeling after going to a phat farm casting with a friend and being chosen. It wasn't planned. He started work with Diddy (Sean Puffy Combs) 6 years ago for Sean Jean Men's Wear. His First agent was Drew..he moved on to 2 others after that. He is now with Ford Models Agency. YES as you can imagine he has been hit on by both women and men in the industry who tried to intervene with his work! "There are some Flames out there on the low" he said. His favorite shoot was the Louie Vuitton shoot in Dominican Republic because he got to visit his country of heritage plus flew his entire family to go with him. He was paid over 25k, that didn't include the accommodating flights for himself and family. He does not speak to anyone directly for work, everything must go thru his manager. "Its all politics"-said Perdomo. The young Miguel Perdomo invested his time in Boxing and Basketball, now that he has an image to uphold the boxing had to be put on hold. He loved to fight in the ring or on the streets, but cannot risk any flaws to his face or body given his career. He is now waiting for a decision after a recent shoot for Polo done a lil over a month ago. When asked, he confirmed that he too is always anxious and doesn't prefer to wait on getting pictures back..he enjoys being able to show them almost immediately (LIKE ME!) lol. In his spare time he works out a lot, and plays basketball when able. He has to control his weight gain and loss periodically so its very important that he attends the gym. He is also a fit-model for Foot Locker Corporate and Sean John. He agrees that most of the people in the industry have day jobs, because we need em!..Taxes are what kills you, and needing health insurance etc.. He and Johnny Medina met in 2008 when Johnny tried to sell him a tee shirt out of his trunk..they spoke about each others talents and then began working together Johnny for his music, Miguel for his Fashion and guidance..they are part of "The Justice League" a personal crew among their peers. Miguel Perdomo is single when asked his reply was "I'm always single", "Moneys my girl" .. but also said "I am seeing someone, nothing serious yet".
Johnny Medina has 2 singles out "Sunglasses at Night" and "Novella". He says "You have to be really cool to wear your sunglasses at night", Miguel adds "Yea, No white shoes guys" (to the uptown cats. Johnny calls himself "J. McFly" he has been doing music for 10-11 years now. He feels his single Novella was inspired by everyone who lives a "movie" like life, and women are also an influence to the song. Johnny is currently seeing someone..aaawwwww GIMMIE $20! lol.
I Am Pure singer of "Body Talk" single is currently finalizing editing on the music video for the song. The video was directed by Tat Wza of Hot 97 and Druski. When asked how long hes been doing music, he said awhile but he just recently dropped "Body Talk" in June and the feedback was remarkable. Body Talk was the hit that took off for him in his hometown NJ. He kept grinding, and had every NJ DJ playing the song so much that the on air DJs from out of town had no choice but to play his record. "In order to have a club poppin, you gotta play a PURE record". The opening DJs would get such a crowd reaction that the closers (headliner DJs) asked the openers/hometown DJs about PUREs record personally. Getting the record played in all nightclubs is what lead to the radio play that he has today, the interviews, and the performance bookings. He looks like a rapper but is actually a singer, and loves that image. His inspiration for "Body Talk" record was for "Freedom of Expression" for all people of all types and ages. There is a possible remix in the works.. I predict a female on the track.. but right now we gonna have to say ALLEDGEDLY until he surprises us. PURE states " People I stood in line for to buy their albums recognize me and have asked to work together, legendary people"-cant drop names on it tho. DJs that opened up for FLEX of HOT97 felt proud when the record was broken on air, as they had it and played it first..they felt as if they "made it" in a way thru the industry. "My people who held me down will get the remix and or next track first" said PURE. His hobbies include basketball, he is very aggressive on the courts and talks smack at 5'6'' believe it or not. I challenged him live on air lol. He says Basketball is so NOW.. you have to play offense, defense and just act on it w/o time to stop. Pure is fresh out of a relationship, which he did value and is not looking but doesn't deny that he would be interested if it came his way. His song was released and had nothing to do with his breakup FYI.
when we chatted about Facebook..the guys all agreed with my idea for a "Punch you in the face" option. Miguel wants a "I hate you" or a "dislike" button.
