Twick G

Style: Musician

Understanding that time waits for no one, Terrell Ware (Twick G) feels that it is his moment to introduce the world to his unique style of music & entertainment. His dynamic debut album, “What A Difference A Day Brings” creatively reflects the ups and downs of the rapper/songwriter’s life experiences.

A crafty blend of raw hip-hop mixed with a jazz flavor. With Twick’s personal appeal and ability to reach listeners is part of his whole package, a package that includes, most importantly, his distinctive vocals and relaxed rapping style. “When I rap the sound comes from the mood that I am in. These songs are coming straight from the heart,” say’s Twick. “What A Difference A Day Brings” is Twick’s vibrant masterpiece.

With the support of many well-wishers, Terrell’s journey to build a successful and long-lasting career starts humbly with family and community empowerment. The ability to rise to occasions and deliver consistent results is some of Terrell’s most notable strengths. Compassion and a strong business sense will propel Terrell to accomplish goals set both by him and those that invest in his visions. ”In hip-hop you have to be as big as the culture you represent.

You have to be more than music, more than mix-tapes, more than a fad. You have to be a movement. Your going to hear a lot more of Twick loud and clear, so Hop on board, or get out of the way.”

GQ

GQ /Bio As a product of the struggle GQ is no stranger to the many short comings of urban life. Drugs gangs and

poverty were around every turn. Like most GQ was faced with choices. Having a strong support system and the determination to not become another victim GQ chose art and sports as creative outlets. An only child raised by a single mother GQ moved around often but no matter the residence his heart and soul is from Houston Tx, and Champaign, Il.

Wanting to fulfill his dream of playing college football GQ attended MacMurray College in a small town about 50 minutes north of St. Louis. There wasn't any BET or radio in that area that catered to the hip hop crowd on campus. GQ since a youth would write poetry and songs and produced music as a hobby. As he passed time between classes, practices, and games you could hear him working on a beat or two. Many students would come to listen to the latest beat made and it eventually led to a couple of his peers purchasing music for campus talent shows.

After seeing his music mold into a distinct sound that blends the down south swagger with the Midwest swang, GQ began to work with a few family members on more music. Wanting another voice in their project GQ was asked to write and perform a verse on the neighborhood group's song in which he produced for. Having a unique voice and style GQ decided to write his first solo effort entitled "Chevy Thang" which has become the first local song to gain radio play commercially in Champaign.

105.5, 107.9 as well as 104.5FM have all played 'Chevy Thang' in their rotation and local DJ's have also spun the song in various clubs. With the attention 'Chevy Thang' has gained in his own backyard GQ has become a local figure in the underground music scene. Performing at all of the top venues in Champaign County and a couple performances in Indianapolis GQ's music is ready to stand on the national stage.

Currently working on his debut mixtape, two follow ups and a solo album slated for a 2010 release date GQ stays busy working on his rhymes and production as well as lending vocals to other artists in his area. GQ's music is more than just trending topics. He speaks from many of his life experiences the good and the bad. He relates to all walks of life from the hood to the CEO's of America. GQ is not your typical "hood" story as he claims himself to be a "country boy."

His laid back demeanor outstanding confidence and never take no for an answer attitude has earned his title as "Mr. Swagga Himself"

Nyesha

Nyesha / Bio Style: Model

From: San Francisco, CA

Hobbies: Kickboxing, Cycling, Runnings, & Reading

I’m from San Francisco, Ca. I wanted to model since the age of 3 but began modeling at the age of 5 when my mother took me to an open call in downtown San Francisco. There were at least a couple thousand hopefuls from all ages and they chose one winner which was me.

From then I took classes, did fashion shows all over town and eventually became a model/actress for Look Modeling Agency. At the age of 12 my mother moved us to the Midwest and my modeling slowed down quiet a bit. To satisfy my desire to model I began doing a lot of pageants in which I gained state and national titles. I can’t say that I have just one role model because there are several positive people that I look up to for different reasons.

My hobbies include kickboxing, cycling, running and reading. I love to condition my mind and body on a daily basis. To completely wind down I travel… nationally and internationally.
