how old are you sir ?
I am 16 years young, ill be 17 next month so i guess 17.


SMH .... see young !!! How did you come up with the name high end & How long did it take to land on that name?
i decided on the name high end as a representative for the idea i wanted to
emulate through making my pieces/it took me a about 4 years to finally decide on
a name i wanted to use permenantly. This is like my 4th or 5th name.

Sound stressfull as shyt ... now i know that your into photography as well but Which Do you like more photography or designing clothes?
ahh, thats a difficult
question. Photography, its less stressful to me personally

Do you run the line all by your self?
I run high end single handedly.

what is your thought process like when its time to come up with designs? Do you sit on the toilet, do you sit in the dark, do you jsut doodle, or do u have a crew of kidds that do all the work?
My thought process is something the normal brain couldn't understand. It comes from music, sitting on the toilet. Looking at colors. Reading different shit. I doodle, I make world list. I write on too many loose sheets of paper. My sketch book is all words!




Soo if you had a choice to only be successfull in 1 of the 2 which 1 would u choose?
jesus. I would have to say photography because its timeless to me, and photography never goes out of style.but I really love clothing also.


What does a usual day look like for you?
Wake up. Clean up. Turn the mac book on.
Check my daily blogs, then I blog a little, sit on twitter and facebook. Edit
photos for a while. Sit on ichat.I usually sit on my computer all day until
someone comes and gets me.

No breakfast of champions?
nope




Through all of that i now your listening to music so let the people know what your music folder is looking like?
GUCCI MANE! thats it thats all. haha. Keri
hilson is really good. Oj the juice. I listen to what i feel like listening too.
Fuck what all these rappers want to sayand what isnt real music. I listento the
shit.

On avg how many hrs. do you sleep a night?
On avg i sleep about 5 to 6 hours.

So you mentioned you have daily's you check out any notable 1's you wouldnt mind mentioning?
I read hypebeast.com, planeejane.blogspot.com, famousj.net,
theawardtour.com, and prmtvemag.blogspot.com. There are alot more but thats just
off the head. I have like 200 book marks.

How long have you been into photography & how long have you been doing photography?
I've been into photography since I was young. I would always harass my granny about the family photo albums that she kept away from us. I've been doing photograpy for about 5 years now.




Pretty solid ..... What's the most annoyying part about photography?
Taking a shit load of shots
and they all come out wrong, or shooting someone and you realize the film isnt
wounded.


& what annoyys you the most about designing & running ya clothing line?
the most annoying part is having to travel all the way across town to get work done, and being constantly thinking of way to set your self apart.


Who's easier to shoot boys or girls? & whyy?
It easier to shoot girls.
Because they can pose all kind of weird ways without it looking akward, and
there is alot more variety fashion wise with women.




Speaking of them ......What are you checking for with the young ladies?
Im checking for long hair thick redbones! j/k. Personality is a must. So ill say it twice Personality is a must.
I need someone who is doing something with themselves and just not taking up
time and space. Humor and all that shit.

YOUR NOT GROWN BRO YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU WANT YET lol but how do you feel about the shaved head trend ? It works for some and not all. I
think i might shave mine also aha.

How long do you spend editing photos?
I can spend close to a whole day editing
photos if im really into it. Im real specific when it comes down to editing.




Do you take your camera with you everywhere you go or just places you know your going to get some shots @?
I aim to take my camera every where. Sometimes i dont feel
like dragging it around. I feel that i look like a touristor a paparrazzi at
times. But you never know who or what you might see, so im working on that.

Now who picks the locations for your shoots?
I usually pick most of my locations,
unless someone has a super good idea.


The big question is What inspired you to get into photography & designing?
The abilty to convey a
visual message and to have a say so on what is out in the market inspired me
topick up a camera and to put my own touch on clothing. There is so much stuff
out that is taking up space and hopefullyi can air it out.





Ok so name 2 celebs you would love to collab with for a photoshoot rocking your shyt?
Well i have a thing for one particular young lady (curly hair), and also i think kid
cudi would be a good person to be seen rocking some of the pieces.

Style in general, who do you give kudos to?

STYLE kudos: well Ye of course
some people dont like his shit,Cudi,Teyana Taylor, My mom, Pharrell,Shawn
Chrystoper,Solange the list can go on and on. Alot of people drop heat.




Quick Crew sweater or hoodies?
Hoodies, what are you doing to do when it rains and you got on some shit with out a hood.


Clothing companies your into?
Because of what the kids of today do to clothing
lines, alot of the shit i like doesnt sound appealing. Ralph lauren, STUSSY (i
wear it 24/7), Award Tour,American Eagle because im human. Marc by Marc jacobs.
LV. King Stampede. I try and look for shit that people dont flock to

ummmmmmmmmmmmm cartoons or realityy shows?
i watch pinguins of madagascar, real housewives atl occasional. I dont watch too much tv. Im always on the computer.

Last words................
