Hello World,

This is @FiveTrey_SCHG with another Q&A, but this time with model @EnviGator.  I first met Envi back in 2012 and she’s 1st Lady of Swamp Life Ent based out of Columbia. Her style is urban and raw, which is different from the average, but who want to be the average when you can stand out from the rest.  Also she’s the better half to “Boss Gator” Bless’d Da Gator, CEO of Swamp Life Ent, making the perfect power couple. World, I introduce @EnviGator.

@FiveTrey_SCHG: How are you doing? I want to say thanks for taking the time to do this Q&A.  Can you tell the readers where you’re from?

@EnviGator: I am from Columbia SC.



@FiveTrey_SCHG: I read your resume and its stack. I see you attended South Carolina State and received your Bachelors of Arts in Marketing and also Masters of Arts in Human Resources from Webster University. How does that help out with you modeling career?




@EnviGator: Having a degree is a positive; it shows that I am not just a pretty face and nice body. Looking at me initially, people don’t know that I am educated, but when conversing with me and seeing my model resume there are enlighten. 




@FiveTrey_SCHG:   You are in the class of Urban Models with the inked skin. Do you think that’s the new look of modeling?

@EnviGator:  Ink models are in right now. Depending on whom you promote and submit your ink pics, you can make a lot of money. Ink is trending right now. Lots of models are becoming addicted to the ink and finding the right magazine to submit to will make you a lot of money. Ink is a very sexy and adds sex appeal to a model canvas, making them versatile.


@FiveTrey_SCHG: I also see you have dance experience in Ballet, Tap, Jazz and Modern Dance. You are the ultimate package. Being multi-talented is a plus in your career; does that give you a edge on the rest of the field?




@EnviGator: Yes, Being a dancer makes me versatile in photography. My poses are sharp and graceful. Its helps develop postures and longevity in my pictures. In high fashion and urban modeling they like to see flexibility and having the dance background allows me to exploit that in my pictures.



@FiveTrey_SCHG: You have been feature in some mainstream artist videos in 2012, what were those and how did it feel to work on that type of atmosphere?


@EnviGator : I have been on scene with Jeezy and Red Café, Slice 9 and Future. It has been truly an experience. Good and bad for me. It made me realize the things I really want to do as far as modeling and the things that I don’t want to do. I don’t think that the “Video Girl” modeling is not for me unless I am the only model in the video or the “Only” main girl. It’s just not where my heart is and it’s at least 7 hours of filming and you work so hard and you are not even sure if your take will even make the video at all. The money is not great and I appreciate the experience because I learned how the game goes but I think I am over that as of right now in my career.




@FiveTrey_SCHG: You also have a rapping bone in your body. Your debut was “Tongue Play” with Bless’d Da Gator and DG. I was shocked, but it’s expanding your horizons. How did that come about you recording a verse and is there more to come?


@EnviGator: Me “Rapping” is just for fun. I did that just to test myself and my skills. I never thought about rapping or being a rapper. Traveling with Bless’d to all her shows and always being with her gave us the idea of doing a song. Bless’d said one day she was going to write me some lyrics and I was all for it and we did it. I had fun doing the song because it was something that we could do together and it gives both Bless’d and I versatility in entertainment. Yes there is more to come because I want to go a different route with the next song and test my abilities in a different style of rapping.



@FiveTrey_SCHG: its 2013, 1st Quarter, What’s new for Envi Gator?



@EnviGator: 2013 is “Murder Season” for me. I just signed with an agency by the name of “Dyme Candy” and they have a great “Agenda” for me this year. They just launched my website: Envigator.com and I have a few photo shoots set up and a big run way show coming up for CIAA! I have been asked to be a “Spokes model” for a nationwide phone company but nothing is in stone yet.

@FiveTrey_SCHG: You and Bless’d is a power couple. How’s having that nonstop support in your corner boosts you to be productive and vice versa? S/O to Boss Gator #SwampDat




@EnivGator:  Having Bless’d in my life has truly been an inspiration. I stopped taking “Modeling” serious for a minute.  When Bless’d and I started talking she inspired me to do it again and that’s how “Gator Girls” came about.  There are times when I want to give up or even just slow down, but she always push me and give me those words of encouragement that boost me back up. Just looking at her drive alone is motivational. We encourage each other to give everything our all. We are “Best friends” first and that helps a lot because we can give each other positive criticism without anything ever being taken personal. We just want each other to be the best we can be and that friendship allows us to be better producers to our craft.



@FiveTrey_SCHG:  When getting ready for a photo or video shoot, what gets you into your zone and what can ruin it?


@EnviGator: When I do photo and video shoots I have to have a few shots first. That is a must! It relaxes me and takes away the nervousness. What can ruin it is a person being nonprofessional. I hate dealing with people who are nonprofessional. I have to feel comfortable when I am shooting and if I am not in my comfort zone I can’t perform to the best of my ability. Also having Bless’d there is a must. She always tells me what she likes and dislikes and that helps a lot because if she don’t like it then most likely I am not going to like it. She has an eye for everything and she is so well rounded in entertainment. She is an extra boost of confidence for me. Looking at her while I am shooting makes me want to “Master” the shoot.



@FiveTrey_SCHG: Last question…….. If there was one thing you would change about Envi Gator, what would it be?

@EnviGator: At this point I can honestly say there is nothing I would change about myself. I am confident in whom I am and if there is anything that needs to be changed I don’t know what it is…lol



@FiveTrey_SCHG: Again thanks for taking time out to work with SC Homegrown and it was a great pleasure to work with you.  If you want to shout out anyone or Turn Up, here’s your chance!


@EnviGator: I just want to S/O Bless’d for being my back bone, best friend, and lover! SwamplifeEnt/Gator Girls,SC Homegrown, Dyme Candy, Great Girls Ent/GEI Magazine,Gotta Grind Films, SoBeIt Magazine,and everybody who promotes and rock with me!
