2014 has been a great year at Mahvrick. We have explored many ideas and taken several of our own to market. M12 Magazine has given us a platform to speak to over 50,000 people on a daily basis. Fanatic Farm TV started as a BETA for other clients and since then has grown to 100-300 subscribers daily. At Mahvrick we like taking ideas to reality. Our ideas our clients ideas. We consider some of these ideas dreams. It is okay to dream, but we figure out ways to make dreams reality. Often we will tell our clients and partners “No!”, but if we see developments and maturity in an opportunity that “No!” becomes a “Lets do it!”. Many people do not understand this. We try to defy gravity. If you watch our social media and our blog posts many of the things that we do are extraordinary.

We want our shared dreams to become the foundation for more dreams that our community of subscribers can share in. From events and articles to art that we have commissioned that is now in galleries. 2015 is focused on Art and Fashion. Cant Wait.

America’s Top Model

DON on Billionaires Row

Music and fashion have always been intimate bedfellows, but neither world has ever heard or seen an artist and presence quite like Don

Benjamin.

A notable model whose CREDITS include serving as the face for Guess, Moods of Norway, Tilly's, and Pink Dolphin campaigns and

finalist on the 2013 season of America's Next Top Model, he grabs the mic and holds tight on his forthcoming debut album. The rapper

ignites slick, smart verses via an impressive flow, relaying personal stories with palpable panache. It’s been resonating too. His track

"Across the Sky" [featuring Nikki Flores] saw placements on Big Brother, America's Next Top Model, and various MTV PROGRAMS. It

also landed in the iTunes Overall Top Songs chart, officially announcing his arrival as an artist.

"It's smooth rap," he declares. "I spit bars with an R&B feel. I didn’t want to do something typical. This isn’t your average hip-hop. It’s not

about killing people or selling drugs. It’s about girls and relationships. I was always focused on finding love and everything that goes along

with that. I’m telling my story honestly.”

His story thus far remains quite remarkable. Born in a rough neighborhood of Chicago's notorious South Side, he and his mother bounced

around from Minneapolis to Mississippi and Florida. He finished up high school in Minnesota, and that's also where he truly discovered his

passion. Fascinated by everyone from Jay-Z and Nas to LL Cool J, Boyz II Men, and Jagged Edge, he started rapping in between his

duties as varsity basketball team captain.

"The first time I recorded a song with some friends, I knew I had to be in music," he explains. "It felt like what I was always meant to do."

In 2005, he moved out to Los Angeles and immersed himself in the scene. Eventually, he'd gain notoriety modeling, but he parlayed his

music to the forefront. Musically, he captures a bedroom-ready R&B vibe within the framework of hip-hop. You can hear it within the likes

of “Doin’ It Well”.

Produced by Midi Mafia [50 Cent, Frank Ocean], it highlights a cool and controlled flow from Don before taking flight on an Elijah Blake

hook. Re-imagining LL Cool J's "Doin' It", the song encapsulates a deeper message for the artist as well.

"Everybody's disrespecting women, downgrading them, calling them bitches, and just talking about fucking," he goes on. "There's no real

story, and nobody is building girls up. I wanted to do that. This says, 'I want to see where your mind is at rather than getting in BED with

you right away'. You can be in a relationship and evolve into that sexual point. I got into the storytelling of meeting a girl, getting to know

her, and watching her leave the dude that's not treating her right."

Meanwhile, "Jealous" [featuring Eric Bellinger] tells a different tale altogether, showcasing his diversity as do many other tracks. He says,

"It's about a dude who gives his girl all the time he can, but she's still jealous. Eric wanted me to do a photo shoot for his street wear line. I

told him I'd do it, and I also told him about the track because I thought he'd be perfect on the hook. It perfectly fell into place."

In the end, Don gives something much more to listeners everywhere with his candid lyrics and different perspective. "The most important

thing is for people to connect with the music and feel it," he concludes. "I want them to see what's happening in my lyrics and relate."

J Bape, recently signed to Billionaires Row Publishing. Miami native, living in Los Angeles. Also known as “Astro God” spent time with the executives of Billionaires Row and signed a deal for singles. Cali High, Crazy Nights, and the Kick Back.

I sat with William Benson the CEO of Billionaires Publishing and discussed J.Bape’s style and attitude towards art, culture, music. I immediately told William to sign BAPE to an A/R deal, which lead to the negotiations with PLAY a Grammy Nominated writer who has worked with Luda, Kelly Rowland and has numerous radio hits.

J. Bape is in the studio, but Billionaires Row Publishing is planning to set up studio time with other well known producers so both Play and Bape can get their labels organized and funded in the first quarter of 2015.

“Acting to me is a blessing, to be presented the forum to step outside of my life and into a world that is unreal. I have always been passionate about the exploration of the human condition and acting provides me the platform to explore every element. It is ironic but the time when I feel most complete is when I am performing, the stage feels like my home." By Christopher Keogh

Hada Vanessa is a Colombian actress, artist, and performer who is heavily influenced by her New York and Colombian upbringing.

An extremely talented performer, there is no doubt that Hada Vanessa’s future will be bright in the US or abroad.The best way to demonstrate Hada Vanessa's passion for her craft is through her words: “Acting to me is a blessing, to be presented the forum to step outside of my life and into a world that is unreal. I have always been passionate about the exploration of the human condition and acting provides me the platform to explore every element. It is ironic but the time when I feel most complete is when I am performing, the stage feels like my home." Welcome home Hada Vanessa, I am confident that you will be here for a long time!

I am the Girl Next Door

My name is Amanda and I am twenty four years old. I currently live in Upper Michigan where I am living life to the fullest. I graduated high school with big dreams in mind. I completed my Cosmetology degree and I have competed in many hair competitions. I love being spontaneous and going on adventures. The most adventurous thing that I have done so far is being a co-pilot and flying an airplane. I have always had a love for traveling as well, visiting new places and meeting new people. When I'm not out on an adventure or traveling you can find me working hard or out enjoying the great outdoors of Upper Michigan. You will also see me cruising around in my firebird in the summer time. My day isn't complete until I've hit the gym. I love being fit and healthy. I am a very optimistic person and I believe you can achieve anything that you put your mind to.

OMT (formerly known as One More Time) is Mike Aquino, Dick Kuhn & Dave Benziger on guitar and vocals, Jason Trtan on bass, and Bobby Carroll on drums and vocals. Throughout their careers they each are accomplished in their own right, having had such opportunities to work and perform with musicians such as Dave Bickler & Jim Peterik (Survivor - Eye of the Tiger), & Brian Wilson (Beach Boys). When they meet together on the stage, they make magic combining the sounds of their instruments and their 5 part harmonizations. They play a variety of music ranging from Rock to Country, from Classic songs to Current. Their approach is simply choosing a set list of popular works to play, adding to them a twist of their own style. For the last three decades, they continue to be a local favorite delivering a steady diet of intense improvisation. (Source: onemtime.com)

Politiklee Inkawrect is quickly becoming the standard brand of the global entertainment industry.Teaming up with Mahvrick we've now reinforced that standard audio and video distribution for a myriad of up and coming projects. Writing would have to be at the top of the totem pole as far as the list of talents that have been bestowed upon Geraldo Nazario Aka Big 6. With an urban gritty style of songwriting, even the great KRS-ONE has given Big 6 the nod as one of the best as well as R.I.P BIG L. When asked about the height of my writing accomplishments I mentioned having worked with Oscar winner Luis Resto and Grammy nominee Carlos 6th July Broady but to him the height

Politiklee InkawrectBig 6

nominee Carlos 6th July Broady but to him the height was going away for seven month and coming home with 60 songs. "Many artists nowadays do mixtapes and write 100 songs in two months, but I'd rather have Steak and lobster for a week then beef lo mien for a month. Other accomplishments as of recent include actually bringing together each member of PIENTERTAINMENTLLC as the story goes I Met Jemaine Archie at a former job one day and discussed the ideas of a T-shirt company called POLITIKLEE INKAWRECT, which seemed fitting since Mr Archie owns and operates a successful graphic design company. Big 6 knew Charles Kidd Aka Knowin about 5 years prior to that. Charles Kidd as well as Larry Williams have been owning and running a 501(c3) Non-profit organization to mentor teens in crisis. So between a T-shirt company and a Non-profit organization it made sense to combine the ideas for an Entertainment aid agency the first ever EAA. The rest is history in the making as sheer talent alone has garnered the attention of Richard Mahee of Mahvrick, Geraldo Nazario Aka Big 6 was able to connect the two brands. Now creating and conceptualizing the characters, name of the show as well as the introduction music for the animated series LABLES, The single and Politiklee Inkawrect Theme song (Make you believe us!) and the Thesis for the Charles Kidd Aka Knowin's clothing line Domadayo Adore, and Campus Wear, Geraldo Nazario Aka Big 6 has taken his ability to write to the next level literally. Currently writing episodes, collaborating with a writing team and animation designer Ben Reynolds for the animated show LABLES. At this time working on a song produced by the very well respected Phat Pat with a well known artist as a Feature. Big 6 is also responsible for writing all the PIENERTAINMENT articles!

We do take jets. Once you start you will realize what a difference it makes in your life. Especially if you are someone who travels frequently. I remember sitting with Noel Jones and he told me that he saved 20-30 hours a week because he flies private. Well how could I afford this, Jetsmarter has made it possible for me. It’s an app that you can use to find the flight & the type of plane at an affordable price. It has made a big difference in the quality of life and security. There are benefits to flying private. You must try it. Ask me, I may take you with me. -Mahvrick

A noble and extremely kind gesture has been served by the proceeds realised from the sale of a very rare Edwardian diamond tiara which was put under the hammer on 17th April 2014. According to auction house Fellow Auctioneers, this rare piece has been donated to the UK-based Cancer Research Leukemia division by a London based vendor. As per media sources, the design of this unique tiara has been hugely inspired from the quintessential garland style. Reportedly this grand piece contains an estimated 10.00 carats of old cut diamonds. However it was reported that this stunning tiara would initially fetch around $8, 000 to $11, 000 in an auction. However the final result exceeded all expectations and the tiara managed to achieve the final hammer price in excess of $20, 000. (SOURCE: Born Rich)

School Buzz: Erika Benton-Martin

One spark that may ignite a fire. Life should always to be cherished. Some of us are elders that can pass on the wisdom, and some of us are young, learning to embrace the past to make a change, but our lives do not have a finish line. Every single day is a new beginning and as you wake up, the first step you take out of bed is progress of your progression. There are so many things that we all can do to make the world a better place, however the first thing that we have to do is to do it. Erika Benton-Martin is from San Francisco, California and is a recent graduate of Clark Atlanta University. “At the age of 17, I ventured off on my own, moved to Atlanta and four years later became the first person in my family to graduate from a university,” said Ericka. She has implemented journalism with music by working as a freelance music journalist. She loves multiple genres, listens multiple songs, and writes a story about how the songs or albums make her feel. All of this was an outcome of Erika’s work ethic, as well as staying kind and humble that allowed her to be able to visualize what it is that she would love to do within her lifetime.

Educating others with the education she has received, because intelligence is beautiful, as long as you are feeding the mind. “I have been blessed with many positive role models and I hope that one day someone will say the same about me. Since relocating to the California Bay Area, I've decided that I would like to dedicate some of my time to mentoring students interested in working in media. My goal with these students is to motivate, inspire and encourage them to go after and conquer whatever goal or dream they may have,” said Erika.

“My hope is to spark the mind of someone who will make a positive change in the world,” said Erika. It only takes one spark that may ignite a fire and that fire will grow and from that flame it can spread in order to attract others to make a positive change. By doing so, it can help the community, the country, and possibly the world. The result of that will be enriching life.

The question that arises from all of this is; how do you feel when you see something that you love to do?
