Peter Jackson and Karl Wolf #1 Fan

www.thediaryofmrsmakeup.blogspot.com

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!
