We had the good fortune of connecting with Famousjazzy and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Famousjazzy, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Growing up watching my mom work two jobs to make sure her kids was well taken care of , I always wanted more never wanted to work for someone else for the rest of my life . I always been the type of person that could never just settle. As I got older I worked save up for my first car and moved to Houston Tx , I’m from port Arthur Tx where if you wanna good job it’s either work in the plant or be a nurse I didn’t want nether. I already knew what I wanted to do with my life which was modeling and have my own modeling agency . By me living in the city I started meeting people, networking. I came up with my company name in 2018 and did not start taking models till 2021 I wanted to get own name out there first and build good business relationships. YES! It was struggles along the way but I never gave up even sometimes I wanted too. All I did was network and work my butt off . I always tell people you to be consistent and have faith!!!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
In 2018 I came up with the name for my model company . I didn’t start taking models till 2021 I wanted to build my own name and connections first. I worked hard and network my butt off . Yes I had struggles in between but I never gave up. I’m very determined when I want something .My company has came along way since 2018 I’m still building it but I am happy with the accomplishments I made since then . YES , I still work long nights on my model company . I always said I want to build a model agency for young girls and actually teach them how the industry go cause when I attended model school they didn’t teach us that plus my mom had to pay a lot of money so I’m making sure the young aspiring models get the right schooling on the model industry without paying a whole lot of money .

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I love to hangout and a perfect itinerary in Houston with me omg you will have the time of your life I am the life of the party lol… first I would head over to Kamp lounge for brunch, the prospect park day party , then galleria to shop I love the galleria all my favorite stores there , later that night head to oceanair restaurant they have the best drinks in the city , then end my night at area29 strip club show some baddies some love but before I leave I gotta get the steak & lobster plate hands down they have the best food out of all the clubs
