Peter Jackson and Karl Wolf #1 Fan

If you don't know who Peter Jackson is by now, you haven"t been reading my blog (shame on you!!).
He is one of the hardest working rappers in this city. Along side some of hip hop's  biggest influences,  he has toured the country a dozen times over. And when he's not on tour he's in the studio, making music good enough to make your head snap back....

Atleast..that's what my head did when I got the news that he was ready to film his video for #1 Fan along side Karl Wolf!  With over a million views on Youtube, his song Africa has gone 3x platinum.  His collaboration with Three Six Mafia on the song "Mash it up" has only been played on radio stations about a couple billion times, making him one of Canada's hottest artists.

  Filmed by none other then G-dot Solo who's video views are also in the millions. Ones again ,I found my self on-set at an exclusive spot on the other side of town. 
My favorite part of doing video's is of course meeting the models.  Model's are like Forest Gumps box of choclates..you never know what your gonna get. Will their be drama? Will there be diva antics? One never knows what could happen when you put a group of girls together! (see upcoming blog for more info...trust me it gets juicy!)

But for this video, I couldn't have wished for a greater set of girls courtesy of Girls of Glam modelling agency.  Coming as far as Hamilton these dedicated ladies gave it their all. There's something about the makeup up chair and table that seems to bring people together. The girls sat gathered around my table and within a few second, you would think they had known each other forever. 


Peter always gets support wherever he goes and it is always good to see some familiar faces.| Amongst those stopping by included: rapper and athlete Brett Williams as well as Toronto artists Kisco and Breezy.

But it was Karl Wolf, who came on set with a energy that was so contagious it lit up the room. You would think that someone with more then 50,000 twitter followers and  360k likes on Facebook would be a little conceited or shallow.  Karl was humble, friendly and very charming and he made staff including the models feel at ease.  Together with Peter and the rest of cast they made the set feel like a club on Saterday night.

Peter and Karl made a great team and both turned their "swag" up, when it came to playing dress up.

 Sports jackets and G-shocks seemed to be the style of choice and as an accessory...beautiful models. Check out this exclusive pic I captured of these two serenading the ladies.

I was honored to be part of this videos and amongst such an amazing set of people. Dont forget to download #1 Fan on Itunes! And if your looking for some great shows check out Peter Jackson on tour with D-Block. You can spot Karl Wolf at some of this summers hottest events, for more info go to www.Karlwolf.com

Special thanks to Peter Jackson and Karl Wolf for inviting me to do makeup for this videos.

And  G-dot Solo for not killing me while I went camera happy during his shoot. (think he was mad at me????) Sorry G-dot!

Next up...more award shows, and some America's Next Top Model...Stay tuned!

Backstage..Poppin Bottles with Brett Williams aka "Bowx" and Peter Jackson

Whats in the air over there in Ajax? Whatever it is, its gotta be good. Im starting to think that I live on the wrong side of the city. That little town is a breathing ground for talent it seems..Graphic Designers, Models, Rappers and.....Hockey players?

Brett Williams a.k.a Bowx is a 10 year pro-hockey veteran from Ajax, ON, who not only knows how to work a stick (no pun intended), but also knows how to rock the mic...and then some! Word around town is he has sold over 70,000 CD's thus far. So why not team up with rapper Peter Jackson another Ajax native for the "Poppin Bottles"  remix, of 9-0-Nickel Entertainment's Tussin Mixtape.

With food, liqour and beautiful bodies everywhere, the day couldn't be more perfect for a BBQ pool partied themed video with Videographer Duxx of Concrete Gorilla.




When I was finished with my touchups I got to scope out the scene from a distance.

Peter and Brett both did they're solo shots, surrounded by all the beautiful models.

After everyone got acquainted, it looked like

they've known each other forever.

Maybe a little too well........................?

With no complaints from me ofcourse! Makeup and water don't mix that well. So when bottles really started popping..

I knew my job was done!  Giving me the chance to finally enjoy some BBQ chicken!

Thanks Brett and Peter for your northern hospitality and hiring Mrs Makeup for this gig!

 

B.T.W!!!

Peter Jackson featuring Naughty by Nature's song certified Directed by G-Dot Solo) has gotten over  25141 hits on Word Star Hip Hop.com
Congratulations Guys!!

Dont forget to request the song on your local radio stations and show some love for Canadian talent.

On my money with K-fresh and Baby Ghryme

K-Fresh and his co-star Baby Ghryme are at it again. The latest song "On My Money" feat Jimmy Fresh, is their hottest record to date. Mixing a downsouth beat with a sing-a-long hook for the ladies,  it is gaurenteed to get crowds moving.

The set, ones again  had a wide variety of industry people.

Photographer Courtney Nicole, StrongArm416
and ofcourse Eh-Team were their to capture backstage footage.

Even Jimmy Fresh came by for his cameo and from what it looks like he's channeling his inner P.i.m.p with that new look (was that a perm?).

Singer Shay was there in full leopord print as Ghryme's sidekick.
But the real head turner was Baby Ghryme, who came onset rocking a completely different look.

Gone were her beautiful long dreads, now replaced by short multi-colored twists. With her new gained sex appeal, we had no choice but to go crazy with the makeup as well. Starting with purple eyeshadow, we quickly went from flirty pink to shocking blue. Could it be that the usual tomboy has channelled her inner Diva?? Whatever the case, BG rocked it.

Check out some exclusive background video courtesy of StrongArm416

This was one of many days of filming. From motorcycles, to beachfronts and smoke-machines, it looks as like it will be an interesting video. Are they on the money? We'll just have to wait and see.
