BL What made you want to become a photographer SB One day I decided I wanted to start my own business doing something that I have a passion for and that I’m good at and being a photographer I thought was the perfect career for me.

Singer, Songwriter Mateo Amarei Age: 24 Representing: Houston, TXFavorite Influences: Various, but my TOP OF ALL TIME would definitely have to be, of course, the Late Great Michael Jackson.Describe your styleMy style is eclectic. It's an infusion of music. I'm always testing out new sounds for my voice and trying to hit the public with something unexpected from me. I believe that music in itself is a genre and that's where I belong, not limited to any specific derivative. Tell me about it! We heard your upcoming singles "Valley Girl" and "First Car" (from joint album entitled 'Radio City' with fellow Artist and Keys And Ink member Ricquo Jones); they're very different but both have your significant flavor on them. Do you feel there's anything that makes you so successfully versatile?I…

I’ve never really done anything big for my birthday so this year I figured there’s no time like the present!! Along with a photo shoot (pics can be viewed at Visionary Models, don’t forget to like the page while you’re there!) and shindig, I also decided to make my article about my favorite cosmetics and accessories! Maybelline rarely lets me down with its mascara and this formula followed suit! One by One is my favorite mascara to date because the brush really does separate and define each lash! I actually stumbled upon this product by accident. My cousin bought this L’Oreal True Match poudre in the wrong shade and passed it on to me. I haven’t gone without it since!  Now this eye shadow isn’t new but I HAVE to have…
