Jaye of L.A. Bella

I'm Jaye...23 years old and so damn Westcoast. BORN to some of that DJ Quik and RAISED to Pomona's nuttiest Suga Free. And yes, I go hand in hand with the stereo-type, because I'd rather give you my bitch then to let you breathe on my last bit of... well you know the rest. If you're looking for me, you can most likely find me on my way to the office singing along to old school 2Pac or Bone Thugz and handling business...If I could teach the whole wide world to be a thug in harmoney, than I would teach the whole wide world to be a thugsta just like me, like me.. okay okay, back to the bio. I'm well educated and success driven. If your trying to find someone who plans on settling for less, you're looking in the wrong direction. I'm mix-bred and multi cultured. Mom's a Pinay princess and Dad's a pioneer, raised on the streets of south-central L.A. Thats right.. daddy don't play, boys. An only child because my parents got it right the first time. I've been told I look sweet and innocent and that's exactly how I like it, so I'll leave that one alone. I'm peace, unity and love oriented, and ridiculously enough a hopeless romantic. Ultimately my M.O. is simple. I want to make a difference in somebody's life. Everybody has a story and if I can improve the quality of someone else's story, than I'm good with that. It's about taking it to the next level in a positive light as black young independent women. To be too honest, I'm willing to admit I don't run with many girls. I'm more motivated and inspired by the dudes I run with. A firm supporter in all their endeavors. Passionate about music, and no I don't make it, but I use it as a form of therapy and meditation. And its good shit to listen to dumb loud, smashing down the 10 freeway, blunted! Haha, you feel me? Anyway, while pursuing my dreams I plan on keeping it oh so real it'll probably be too real for most of you, but shaken or stirred that's just who I am. Let's not beat around the bush, you recognize me. I am L.A. Bella. Till Next Time..xoxo L.A. Bella

B.C. of L.A. Bella

I'm B.C...a 24 year old Cali native. Fathered by a black panther and an ex-hippie. I was born in L.A, raised in the valley, and play in Hollywood. Lived in N.Y. for a quick second, but my heart is in L.A. Sorry Biggie, but if I got to chose a coast, I got to chose the West. I eat, sleep, and breathe hip-hop. I'm a product of the culture...and please don't get it confused with the shit they play on the radio. Getting familiar with Dilla, Q-Tip, rockin fresh kicks, and being able to go bar for bar with me on Jay-Z classics is the way to my heart. I'm first and foremost a writer. Songs, articles, and apparently blogs etc...I'm a slave to the written word and a punchline junky. Never known to pass on a blunt, (Well, there was that one time that Skotch had that bbq lol), could probably drink you under the table, curse like a sailor, grind like I'm making love, contradicting, rule breaking, over analytical and semi skitzofrenic. "If you steal my dog, I'ma kill your cat". Two wrongs do make a right in my world. I value substance over swag, but swag has the ability to get the panties to drop once in a blue moon. A tom-boy at heart, I came up running behind my two older brothers, hoppin fences and watching Snoop Doggs Murda was the Case tape on repeat, trying to catch up. I'm far from those "spoiled little L.A. girls" who step out in those itty bitty dresses that suck in and push up waiting for some sucka emcee to invite them back to the studio after the club, so they can hit it from the back while they still have on thier "fuck me pumps". I do however recognize the beauty in being a woman, a real woman who understand that sometimes those new YSL platforms & Balenciaga purple patton leathers must be rocked on the weekends. You've seen me, you'll see me. Know who I am. I am L.A. Bella. Till Next time. xoxo L.A. Bella

L.A. Bella

Yes, you all know who L.A. Bella is, but if you've been secluded in a dark dark prison with no form of communication to the outside world..we'll let you know one more time, ya know, for the cheap seats in the back and shit. We are L.A. Bell

a Joanna

Bellinger, and myself, Brenn Colleen. Throughout our endeavourswe we'll often refer to each other as J and B, hopefully that doesn't confuse too many of you lol. Now to answer all the questions you people have Barbara Waltersed us with. No, we are not a production company or a public relations firm. Nor a manageme

nt team or a writing-duo.We do deal with many aspects of those industries however... but are more of an organization, which is a social agreement that pursues collective goals. As a writer I was once told to simply write what I know. That is what L.A. Bella is about, we are dipping and dabbling in what we know. Personally, I know Art, from music to fashion to writing, that's who I am, it's what drives and motivates me. J knows business, she is a philanthropist, it moves her to help someone else. She's the structure behind my creativity and collectively we get shit done. If we want to throw an event we'll throw it, if we want to collab up and design a T-line cause we aren't feelin what the chix have to rock, we design it, and rock it. If some of our people needs help grabbing a couple contacts to make moves & we believe in there talent, we throw some math around. L.A. Bella is all about moving forward, not only as a people, but as a generation. It can be looked at as a movement, but we aren't even trying to hop on that band-wagon. If it's something that we can wrap or heads around, and we think it's a good idea, it will most likely get done. Together we can tackle all offenses, and came to realize that rather quickly. We only live by one rule, being NO BOUNDARIES. We are in no rush to limit ourselves. Some people say to think outside the box but L.A. Bella doesn't even fuck with the box. Get familiar. Till next time xoxo L.A. Bella
