Bio:
My name is Erica Pinkett and I am 24 years old. I am from Boston mass however I now reside in Atlanta Georgia. My measurements are 34 - 27 -42. I been modeling since I was 18 years old. Started doing stuff in the community like fashion shows, promo events anything to get my face out there. Once I went off to college, I started modeling for a urban fashion store in Washington d.c. named up against the wall. Being a student at Howard university allowed me to get a lot of exposure just because there were so many events that took place like the annual homecoming fashion show, video auditions that took place on campus, etc. I then had a baby girl, and stopped modeling for a while. Just last year in June Mike Styles from style elite modeling agency in Maryland offered me a two year contract. I did the "thug luv" video with DJ Kay slay feat ray j, maino, papoose, and red cafe, and I just did the "bring it back" video with mjg and 8 - ball feat. young dro. Both videos can be seen on youtube.com. So I am currently working on my acting skills because acting is something I want to get into. Also check me out on twitter @1erocka or myspace at www.myspace.com/epinkett.

Hennywiz - I know you’ve been featured in several music videos; from Kay slay’s thug love, 8ball and MJG etc... Were these individuals easy to work with?
Erica - DJ Kay slay was so cool, he was very chill, but still got the work done. I actually got a chance to work with him because of his nephew “Gunnie” who does a lot of work with Kay slay’s models, invited me to come out to New York Atlanta
Hennywiz - Have done any screen features television show appearances as of yet?
Erica - Not yet but I did get an offer to do a new reality show coming soon on VH1. But I don’t think I will be accepting that offer just because I want to have an acting career in the future and I have to be careful what kind of projects I get involved with.Hennywiz - You’ve taken some amazing photos. The concepts behind them are brilliant is there a particular photographer you prefer to work with that brings out your creativity?
Erica - Actually, I love working with people who are hungry and have an artistic eye. Some models go to famous photographers, and that is smart if you want to boost your career. However I prefer to work with photographers like John Brewer, who did two of my photoshoots. You can view his work at www.brewerphotography.com. But I also enjoyed working with my manager Mike Styles who is also photographer.

Hennywiz - What impact has modeling had on your personal life?
Erica - I really didn’t allow modeling to affect my personal life. I think that’s a decision you have to make. I always kept modeling and all of the business connections I’ve made to stay on one side and my personal life to stay on another. Never have I mixed them together.Hennywiz - Overall, what has been your opinion of the modeling industry as a whole?
Erica - I think models don’t get the money they deserve. But it’s up to the models to look at the game as a business and not just do projects just to be seen. But overall, the modeling industry is a very lucrative business and that’s why models have to take control of their own careers.
