Cydnei Chyan: True…(laughing)
Urban Grandstand Digital: Talk a little
about your direction since returning
to Atlanta. What types of other things
have you been able to get involved
with?
Cydnei Chyan: I met a lady who owned
a hair company, and began to model for
her company. That was the first thing I did
in terms of modeling. It made me realize
how much I liked being in front of the
camera, and I wanted to make it into a
career. I began looking for other photographers for freelance work. It was good to
continue getting in front of the camera. I
go to different networking events as well.
I’ve learned so much in the two years I’ve
been here. In terms of music, my cousin
has a studio so I do a lot of work there.
I was in some groups, and they all were
moreso learning experiences. I performed a few times at Apache cafe, but
since then, I’ve just been trying to reflect,
meet more people, and get out there as
much as I can.
Urban Grandstand Digital: In terms
of your music, has anything been put
together yet?
Cydnei Chyan: I’m putting an EP together
now. I’m a perfectionist, and it’s difficult
being a perfectionist when you’re on a
budget. I have a lot of music recorded,
but it’s just that I’m still learning and I
want to perfect it. I know i’ll get better as
time progresses, but I want it to be the
best.
Urban Grandstand Digital: Are you
more driven towards modeling, or music? What will be your defining thing?
Cydnei Chyan: I think it all rolls up into
one career. I’m a visual person, and I want
to have thousands of photos, and have
my face out there. Music is 76
