By Stevie Wilson
Maxi. Who is Maxi? Maxi is just -- well -- Maxi!  Based out of Los Angeles,
California, Maxi travels the US and points beyond doing make-up for various
stars of the Rap and R&B music biz as well as various television and film
celebrities.  This  30  year old   man is racking up frequent flyer miles
faster than the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team. A full-time make-up
artist for over 10 years, Maxi  is one of the busiest make-up artists in
music. His work focuses on Rap and R&B videos but includes magazine credits
with  In Style, Latin People, Essence, Maxim, People,  Teen People, Essence
and more.   His celebrity client list includes top musicians, actors and
athletes.  Working on the Rap and R& B video circuit didn't just happen. "I
started doing make-up and hair and people never realized that I specialized
in people of color.  I worked hard to master this particular segment of the
make-up world. I prefer to work with people of color because the people are
more fun; they are more flavorful. I can be more creative; use more color;
and 'go there' with makeup. It's an art form. A person can do so much more:
reshape, restructure, and give it new form. It's just not possible with
people with white skin. I am not anti-white. I work with everyone now."
""Once I was sure that the Rap world and people of color were my forte, I
found it easier to get work.  People 'expect' to see me; are glad to see me.
I am part of that world.  I am one of the only white faces at the BET awards
and the SOUL TRAIN awards and that's cool with me."

 Maxi juggles a lot of work in the music industry.   "I don't take time to
do print much any more.   I have done so many music videos. My client roster
includes Eminen, Dr. Dre, Nelly, Ludachris, Wu Tang Clan, Musiq Soulchild,
Angie Martinez, Miss Jade, Paris Hilton, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Osborne,
Michelle Branch,  Shemar Moore, Djimon Hounnsou, Christina Applegate, Limp
Bizkit, James Franco,  Master P, Michael Jordan,   and so many more.  

His make-up artistry work is totally immaculate and it's virtually
undetectable-the hallmark of a great artist! His work on men gives them a
well-groomed appearance and its hallmark is that it isn't obvious.  The work
he does on women is phenomenal. The "Funky" page of his website shows you
just how far one can push the color envelope and   what creative genius
hides behind the laughter and smile of this uber-make-up artist!  

Maxi took time from his busy schedule in between takes on Nelly's video to
answer a few questions:
NAME:Maxi

Current Project:   Make that projects with an S at the end. I am busy!
For the past two weeks, I have been doing the grooming for Nelly's press for
the press tour for the upcoming album. He's done four magazines, cd
packaging shots, and Total Request Live (TRL). This week we start on a four
day stretch of videos to be directed by Little X and Benny Boom-talk about
long days! After the videos are done, there are two more magazines. During
this time I have been doing pick-up shots for the Snoop Dogg film directed
by Marc Klasfeld called "THE LA RIOTS SPECTACULAR". Sizzling on the back
burner is a  project in development of a tv show for me. Soon, I'll be
stepping in front of the camera myself. 

WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF A BAD BOY?
A bad boy is someone who doesn't take any S*** from anyone at any time. 

WHAT IS YOUR SECRET WEAPON TO SUCCESS?
My "secret weapon" for success is a lot like my last answer but I do have a
formula for being successful. It's hard work, luck, cultivating the right
people and getting the proper connections. But for me, I have to say I was
blessed. 


 IF YOU WERE ON A "MOST WANTED" POSTER-WHAT WOULD YOUR CAPTION SAY?
The "WANTED" poster would say
" WANTED! REWARD!!
If you catch a glimpse of this MF, approach with caution! Know you are in
the right place and get ready for the ride!

WOULD YOU OFFER AN INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE TO OUR READERS?
	For anyone wanting to work in the entertainment business, I would
like to say that you an do it, no matter what aspect of the industry you
want to conquer. The people who work behind the scenes or in front of the
camera are not any different or more special than you are. Do your research.
Ask questions. Find out what it takes, then go for it. One thing will lead
you to another until you are there!
