Bios
Every since I can remember, I've wanted to model. I was born to model. Not because of superficial reasons, but because I have the right recipe to serve it in front of the camera. Modeling is an art that allows me to express my creativity. Not to mention, the camera loves me. I started out participating in local fashion shows like "For Sisters Only".
In 2002, I appeared in Seventeen Magazine. In 2006, I was approached to be in Chamillionaire's music video "Ridin". I went to the casting and landed a lead role in the music video. "Ridin" is an Grammy Award winning video and I was a part of that. "Bounce" is a music video, where I show my versatility as a lead model and hip hop dancer. Unfortunately, the artist never launched the video.
God has blessed me with more than one gift. I welcome the opportunity to implement my gifts and shine. There's more to me than my looks and my body. I'm a dancer, actress, and I write poems.
I have a flare for fashion design. Designing fashion accessories is only one of my hobbies. Creativity is a part of who I am. My art and profession has afforded me to travel to places such as Miami, Atlanta, California, Las Vegas, just tspan>o name a few. As a model, I've represented some of the hottest brands in the alcohol and beer industry. Coors Light, Budweiser, Captain Morgan, Tanqueray, Baileys, and Ciroc. There's to many to name.
I also have a love for acting, a craft I intend to fine tune in the near future. "Dream Catchers Realty" cast me as the lead model in their commercial. This was my first speaking part. I also have a cameo in one of KB Homes infomercials. I'm the hostess with the mostess! I'm quite good at hosting contest and fashion shows. Currently, you can check me out on Maxim.com, as Dallas TX. 2009 Hometown Hottie. I have a video on youtube. It was filmed at the New Dallas Cowboy's Stadium. My aspirations include being published in major magazines, commercials, product endorsements and joining S.A.G and AFTRA. In life I have learned to take the good with the bad. I don't worry about the haters, I let the haters worry about me. I believe if you think positive good things will come to you. Sky's the limit and I want it all! Xoxo, Monique Jaye.
