1- What inspired you to do modeling? Was there a point early in your life that sparked your interest?
It all kind of happened by accident. I am a make-up artist and had been asked if I would be interested in modeling while I was doing make up on a few shoots and runway shows. I gave it a go and really enjoyed it.

 2- You have dark elements to your style, was there an event or moment that made you decide on your style?
When I was little I would have to say my idols were Catwoman and Elvira. I can’t tell you why or where the draw to that look came from. It has just been that way as far back as I can recall. I remember seeing someone with a mohawk when I was about 5. I was fascinated, and thought it was so neat. Regardless of the rude comments others were saying.

 4- Name some of your accomplishments or highlights of your career so far?
I have been lucky enough to get to work with so many talented photographers, designers and models it’s hard to say. I always love shooting ads for Atelier Gothique. I am a big Northbound Leather fan so being the poster girl for their annual kinky cruise for 2 years in a row and current posters girl for their monthly fetish party is a real honour. I just walked the runway at |FAT| week (Fashion Arts Toronto) 2013 for my fourth year in a row. I always have so much fun working there.

Exclusive interview with Spektrvm

Image
Greetings and please give a warm welcome to Spektrvm 1- Hello and welcome to Metal Music Midwest, first off, thanks for taking the time to do the interview, could you give our readers a brief description of the group? Where is the band from? The music of Greek metal group Spektrvm (pronounced ‘Spectrum’) spreads wide across the chromatic political, religious and many other themes. We are 5 different people, with 5 different musical tastes, and that always makes it interesting to see where the mix of ideas and styles will take us.   2- "Blood For Heaven" is the band's first full album, how long did it take to write? Ideas for the album had been forming since the early days it was formed back in 2016, but when we actually decided to write songs and create an almost concept album, the first half took about a year to form, and the other 5 songs, a little less than that. The songs were being tweaked up until the day of their final recording in 2020. Some changes were even made...

Was there a point early in you life that sparked your interest? Well… once I thought it would be a great idea to have some new profile pictures. So I went out to a cemetery with a good friend of mine to make some photographs. I soon recognized that it was great fun to pose and to “play” with the scenery. That’s why I’ve registered myself in a German model community and soon I got some offers for shootings. And here we are!   Model: Nox Misery- Make up & Styling: Nox Misery- Photographer: Maschka- © Nox Misery, Maschka 2- Your style is in underground, goth, and metal, was there an event or moment that made you decide on this style?
