5 Natural Beauty Products That Make Your Skin Glow

“My biggest motivation is knowing that anyone can take my spot at any time.

I HAVE to work harder than them.”

J ELLE

STYLIST: NAY SAP PHOTOGRAPHER;

At what age did you discover your voice and how did you react to it?

How did you start getting yourself out there?

I discovered I could sing at around the age of 9. Before then I was playing football for Arsenal Girls after being scouted. Football was my passion, until i found out i could sing. I was always around music, especially RnB, as my (only) older brother was a huge Usher and general RnB fan growing up. I looked up to him massively (and still do) so as a kid I kind of followed what he listened to and so developed my own love for the genre. I remember my brother stealing my voice recorder toy that i’d recored myself singing on, and showing my family for the first time like ‘Damn, she can sing’ and I was so embarrassed, little did I know it’s what i’d go on to pursue as a career.

Once I learnt the power of social media and how you can network using it, I just followed the people I wanted to work with. I made almost all of my connections that way. I’ve built a strong team of people i work consistently with, from producers, to stylists, to video directors. I put out my first project in November 2017 - Phases - which I think was a great way to get myself out there. I’ve been doing this music thing for a while, and I think putting my first project out has been the highlight of this whole journey. Something i wrote solely myself and put all the pieces together myself, It’s definitely the thing i’m most proud of so far

Have you always taken your music seriously?

I’d say from around the age of 16, I started taking music seriously, I was at a school that had a really good music department and had teachers who really believed in me, they pushed me to start performing too. I then started going to studios doing session singing work, and met some great people.

What would you classify your sound as ?

I guess the grass roots of my sound is RnB and i’ll always have that engrained in me in some way. But, I’ve learnt that labelling music sometimes can kill creativity, I just go into studio sessions and make what I feel like making that day or if i’ve been inspired by a specific song then I might use that as a starting block. I’ve written some songs you wouldn’t ever expect me to write, from straight pop to Carrie Underwood kind of Country. I just love writing songs.

Who and what inspires you and why?

My family. I almost can’t talk about it without getting chocked up (lame, i know), but my family are honestly heaven sent. I couldn’t ask for more supportive parents and loved ones. They’ve worked all their lives to provide a life for me and my brother where we didn’t ever have to worry even if they were really struggling they would never let us see that.

I do everything for them, they’re what I think of every morning, and what reminds me to work my butt off because I want to provide things for them that they were never able to get themselves. I wanna make memories and have new experiences that i can share with them. Mum and dad are my heroes.

Thats why I do music.

What is your favourite era of music?

90s RnB is what i grew up on, it’s what made me fall in love with music. I feel like it’s kind of become a trend for people to be like ‘oh I make 90s inspired RnB’ but this is genuinely the music that’s in my veins. I’ve spent more hours than you can even imagine studying my favourites like, Brandy, TLC, Usher, Tamia, Aaliyah, Destiny’s Child. Don’t get it twisted though, 00’s had some bangers too, the whole J-Lo, Ashanti and Ja Rule era was incredible too. I try to draw from all of that.

What’s your favourite part about music?

Has your music moulded you as a person?

Being in the studio is definitely my favourite part about music. I’m quite an introvert, i’m never the loudest person in the room, I’d much rather listen and learn. I think that’s why I enjoy writing so much because it makes things that are normally quite hard to say in conversation, much easier. I’ve written about some dark things, such as mental health, and the struggles of growing up, things that I probably haven’t spoken about to more than a couple of my closest people. Writing is my therapy and it gives me a kind of tranquility I don’t find anywhere else.

I dunno if it’s a widely talked about thing, i guess more recently it is, but I’ve noticed a correlation with artists and mental health issues.

This business is so cut throat and every man/woman for themselves. I’ve always suffered with anxiety but i think certain areas of the music world can trigger me. I think music has moulded me into a wiser person, because i’m forced to face these issues head on.

It’s made me a hell of a lot stronger and more compassionate, because you honestly don’t know what each person is going through and the struggles they face day to day.

When did you discover your skill of songwriting?

I always knew I had something to say, I’ve always been outspoken and had strong opinions. But the last 2 years I’ve really harnessed my skill for writing. I’ve written so many songs, and I think learning that not every song you write is gonna be a good one, was the most valuable lesson. Because it can be quite disheartening going through a 6 hour session and then hating the song you come out with. But sometimes you just have to get it out, even if I feel I’m not going in the right direction, of course i’ll try to re-route, but I’ll never stop writing the song, because its a creative process and it needs to come full circle, and then move on to the next.

What’s been your best and worst experience since taking your career to the next level?

My best experience so far is definitely releasing my first ever project. I’d waited almost 5 years to do so. My worst experience is learning that not everyone has good intentions and your best interest at heart, only you can look out for you. Sometimes the closest people to you can make it seem like they’re doing the most, but in reality it’s not the right situation for you to be in, and learning that it’s okay to remove yourself from situations that aren’t aiding you or making you happy anymore.

If you could advise anyone starting their music career now what would advise would you give them?

I’d say to anyone, but I think young girls are much more susceptible to this, don’t put your career in another persons hands. Keep that creative control, because YOU are the artist, YOU are the star. Make time to listen to people and learn new things for sure, but don’t rely on anyone to make it happen for you or believe a dream someone is selling you. Do what you want to do, wear what you wanna wear, write what you wanna write, don’t get caught up in all the industry B.S., continue to grow as an artist and put yourself in new situations where you know you’ll learn something new. Also educate yourself on the business side of the industry, It’s long i know lol but it’s a complicated maze that has many avenues to making money, study that because if you want a career you have to be on your A game with that stuff, because no doubt you’ll run into some drama at some point and it’s always best to know the facts! Finally always remember WHY you do this, everyone has a different story to tell.

FORESIGHT PATRICE CAMILLE

Words by SANTENI BROWN

What do you do and how did you get into it?

I own a digital marketing agency called Pink Ship Ltd. I started out as a freelance social media manager, and as I learned more about digital marketing I wanted to expand on the services I offered and the scale at which I was executing my ideas. I needed a team to be able to do that, so I founded my agency and grew my team so that I could roll out full campaigns and work with brands at a larger scale.

When did you know this is what you wanted to do?

If I’m honest, I can’t remember. It was more of a gradual transition. As my ambition grew, so did my company.

I registered the agency on the 16th of Oct 2014 and that I guess was the day I decided that this would be my career.

What’s a normal day for you at work?

I don’t have normal days haha!

Every day is totally different for me.

I’ll be in the office one day, on set shooting another day, visiting a client the day after that, then the next day I’ll be hiding from my responsibilities trying to catch a break lol.

What do you love about your job ?

I enjoy owning an agency rather than working in-house somewhere because the variety of clientele we have keeps me interested. I also love hiring and nurturing young talent and creating opportunities for my people. I love being the captain of my own ship. I get to do what I want and I make my dreams come true.

I’m not rich yet, but I already have the confidence to create my own path and I value that more than anything.

What’s the most amazing thing about being a woman in your industry/ field?

83% of all consumer spending is done by women! This means brands need to target women more than anything in their marketing. Being a woman allows me to do this with ease. I don’t have to get into the mind of a woman to find out how we can reach them with commercials because I’m already in the mind of a woman. It’s an edge I have over my male counterparts. However, within the past decade, the promotional industry has become female dominated anyway, so most of my peers are women.

Share one of your worst and best experience of of your career so far?

One of my best experiences might be my most recent business trip, we were shooting a commercial in Toronto and it was honestly one of the best days I’ve had in such a long time and I was reminded of how hard I’ve worked for moments like these.

Honestly though, this whole career is an amazing experience and it is hard to pick a best time.

As for my worst experiences, I’ve had many failed ideas, I’ve lost people that I thought were friends, I’ve been down and discouraged so many times on this journey it is hard to choose one of those times.

Does your dress sense affect your job ?

Absolutely. I am in front of the camera a lot and I speak at events often. On those occasions I dress and fashionably as I can to make a positive impression. But on days when I have shoots or events, I dress down because it’s vital that I’m comfortable.

“

Just keep doing your thing and perfecting your craft, you’ll get there. It isn’t worth doing if you’re not enjoying it.”

What would you change about your job?

Nothing, I’d change nothing. Everything I want in life, I will have it eventually, so I don’t need to rush the process. And anything I DO want to change now, I would just change it. That’s the best thing about having your own business. Last month, I decided I needed a higher income, so I put my prices up and now this month I’m making more money. Simple as that really. I like having that freedom.

@PATRICE.CAMILLE

What’s your message to the youths getting into this field of work?

Have fun and be patient. You don’t need to have it all now, just keep doing your thing and perfecting your craft, you’ll get there.

It isn’t worth doing if you’re not enjoying it.
