Ok.. back to the fun stuff...
So.. for those that dont know me.. Allow me to introduce myself...
My name is ICY!!
I'm from Washington D.C., I'm an Aries and I love love love PIZZA!!!
*laughs*
I love fashion, photography, music, film... and I love dabbling in them all! I guess you can say I dont like to limit myself.

People ask me how to get into the field and honestly... theres no one answer. I can tell you a little about the events that happened for me:
I was at college and got reunited with my brother from another mother, IMANI WADDY.
That's this guy:

He's the CEO of Gas'd now know as Triangle Circle Triangle Square. He ask me to join the team as a fashion consultant. His line is hot. Here's a sample:


In the process of helping him promote and spread word of his line on Myspace.. I started developing a "following" of my own. Mostly other aspiring visual/performing artists that wanted advice on how to get started so to speak. It was weird.. In one day I had about 100 friend request and 100 messages. All ranging from messages asking: "Where do you shop?" or "Your page is hot. Can you teach me how to use photoshop?"
I was so excited and overwhelmed. It was hard writing so many people so I created my site! It started as Icy's Fashion Blog.. now known as www.IcyTheArtist.com
Initially I updated on this blog all the time and interviewed a bunch of cool people in the fashion industry, like these:
P. Santana


Jeantrix Clothing Co.


Jennifer Le


This site started getting great feedback and a bunch of hits a day! It was cool. Soon photographers started inviting me to assist at their shoots and attend different functions. I got to work with very talented people in the industry. I humbly accepted so many offers to volunteer so that I could learn as much as I could. I was in college so all of it was exciting and fun for me. The more I worked different gigs, and the more I blogged... the more people started to offer me opportunities to earn and expand. But one of the main source of my following is because of a super awesome amazing designer from UK named KESH. That's this woman:


She hit me up on myspace and told me she liked my site!! She also put a link of my site on her page and after that my hit counter went THROUGH THE ROOF!! Seriously sky rocketed. I'll forever be indebted to her for that♥



So that my friends brings me to now.. I'm in the process of forming my own company. I want to combine everything I have learned and will help to service other talented people with branding. The company will offer event production, video production, photography, digital editing service.. etc. I also will be working on my on-set production gigs because I love film & any opportunity to watch production in action is wonderful for me.

Art is my passion and I can't see myself doing anything else.
I don't believe in limitations. We were ALL born to shine. Dont forget that!
