Picture 1 of 3

This Turkish/Greek/Egyptian smokin’ hot Piscean beauty moved to the USA two years ago with only a gut feeling. Starting out as a celebrity personal gym trainer, she also entered various swimsuit competitions, became a video girl (for the likes of Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, Lil’ John and Fat Joe) – and now she’s pursuing her acting dreams. A favourite with the paparazzi, she’ll probably be your favourite HYPE Honey too!

Why did you choose to move to Miami from Germany in 2009?

It was always my dream to move to the USA and since Miami is one of the most popular cities, I figured that it would be a great city to network and start a career. And of course the weather makes a big difference too… Always having sunshine keeps my spirit up [smiles].

How lucrative was it as a video girl?

It was a good opportunity to get into the industry and to be noticed. After video appearances you get offers to be in magazines and to host certain night clubs.

What’s the craziest thing that ever happened to you on a video shoot?

Well I would not say it’s that crazy, but recently I did a music video where I had to drive a Bentley and keep interacting with the artist next to me and keep looking in the camera and I almost caused a huge accident…

Describe 50 Cent.

50 Cent is one of the most intelligent and business-oriented people I’ve met. He is definitely a big inspiration.

Describe the Maybach Music artists.

I worked with Scotty Boi and other artists from Maybach Music and have not yet worked with Ross personally, but the whole crew are really down to earth.

Is Lil Wayne as crazy in person as we perceive him to be?

I would not say crazy. He is a lot of fun and actually quite different to how people perceive him.

Are you a hip hop head?

I love all kinds of music. I wouldn’t say I’m a hip hop head but compared to house or electro, it’s definitely my preference.

What makes a woman sexy?

A healthy balance of intelligence, wisdom, personality and beauty.

You’re now in LA to pursue acting. What is it about acting that inspires you?

I get inspired by the challenge of being able to depict all kinds of personalities and to switch from comedy to drama. With acting you can really show your talent.

Have you had to adopt an American accent to get any acting jobs/roles?

Well, I moved to the States one and a half years ago so my accent is still a challenge, therefore I am mostly going to auditions where I need to have an accent… but in the long run I want to be able to turn it on and off.

What advice can you give to women about achieving one’s goals?

To always be focused and not be de-motivated by the ‘no’s’ that you get to hear, ‘cause most people unfortunately are not as supportive. Believe in yourself, have a vision and live it.

Challenges as a woman in the entertainment business?

Most people underestimate me, thinking that I am just beautiful and put me in a box, but as they get a chance to talk to me they realise that I’m also intelligent and do not base everything on my looks.

What are your personal long-term goals?

Well I want to be the best I can be as an actress and at the same time I am working on my clothing line, which consists mainly of t-shirts for now. Another project I would like to finish is my book that I started writing.

How do you stay so fly?

I am constantly working out and try to combine European fashion with the current American fashion [smiles].

Name one thing you’d never do.

I would never do anything that would strike my personality nor my values.

Last words?

Thank you HYPE for the opportunity to give a girl a little more shine!
