We had the good fortune of connecting with Majay Lewandowski- Mista @Majaydacoolkid and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Majay Lewandowski- Mista, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
Risk taking played a major role in my life and career .
I took a big risk and step in faith when i moved to usa by myself when I was 20 years old . I had no real plan just a vision and 700$ in my pocket .
Fast Forward to now Im living my dream .
You gotta take risks in your life to grow and get closer to your dreams
I am very intuitive , spiritual and in tune with the universe and if something feels right I am gonna take a risk and go with it and trust the universe to lead me the right way towards my dreams and goals that goes for my personal life as well as my career .
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.
Since I was a little child In Europe I loved watching musicvideos from Usa especially Aaliyah, Timbaland, Missy Elliot were my Favorites
I wanted to be part of this world live in the United Stated and be in videos myself .
I faced some challenges coming here by myself from a different country without family basically having noone to support me but I had a vision and I knew i could do whatever I put my mind into
I started hosting events and Parties in Miami and build myself a name as a PartyPromoter for some
Major Nightclubs like ClubSpace
Im great in networking and meeting people so my social media had a decent following already so I started my acting and modeling career with taking professional pictures with photographers that reached out to me over instagram
I build a portfolio of different pictures and different looks and I started sending them out to freelance agents in Major Cities like Miami , Atlanta, NYC , LA
And everytime I am on set i network with everyone and make sure people remember my face , name and that i get everyones contact
Fast forward to now I have been in almost 100 Musicvideo for international artists like
Drake, Chris Brown , Lil Baby , Kodak Black , City Girls , Maluma etc
Not only that i had little cameos in Movies like Bad Boys 3 , I worked with Tyler Perry and lived on his Studios to film Sistas Season 3
Whats magical is that the celebrities that i watched from far far away overseas in europe on my tv screen are now my part of my regular life , I found my way to not only meet with them but actually work with them and get paid to be next to them
It still feels surreal and I just think to myself How dope is that?
I remember having to pinch myself on set for “No Guidance” Chris Brown and Drake Musicvideo shoot literally being right behind Chris Brown for the Whole second half of the Video . Still on of my highlights so far
I want the World to know that
Manifestation is Real and there are no Dreams too big and you can achieve anything you want to … Practice SelfLove and positive SelfTalk , Meditation and always Believe in yourself
No matter how many times you fall just ” Dust yourself off and Try Again”
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I travel a lot so I am in between Miami and Atlanta all the time
Some of my fave places in Atlanta would include the Belt Line, i love being outdoors and there is so much you can do at the belt line , activities from biking, skating , running or just walking around or if u want to just chill at a bar or lounge you can do that as well Perfect place to unwind
For food i love the Slutty Vegan Chain , great vegan food and definitely worth the wait in a line and whats cool that there is usually a Lady selling chrystals in front of it if you into spiritual accessories thats def the to go spot .
Another amazing place where i Had the chance to live for 2 weeks inside a filming covid bubbles is the Tyler Perry Studios …
Its like an own world within Atlanta and its just so inspiring to see how much a man can achieve especially knowing Tyler Perry used to be homeless
Last but not least Rick Ross Mansion in the suburbs I was booked there before for a musicvideo and let me just tell you this man has a huge property with 109 rooms , dozens of cars and his own horses He is the definition of rich rich and living life in abundance I love being to places like that because its so inspiring and thats what I want to manifest into my life as well to own several properties like this myself .
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Somebody that inspired me a lot in my life is my favorite artist Aaliyah
She achieved so much in her short life thanks to her work ethic and determination but at the same time remained a sweet , humble and genuine person
I look at her as a full entertainer that went through some challenges and obstacles but blossomed through all of them .
Always taking risk and setting new trends .
Thats someone that I look up to and that I wanna shout out and thank because she is a major influence on my life and my goals .
