CRED: First of all, can you tell us a little about
yourself? Where are you from, ethnicity, etc?
IKANDY: I was born and raised in Silver Spring, MD, and
currently reside in New Orleans, Louisiana. I'm of
Cambodian descent, and speak the language fluently. I'm
a full-time nurse, a single mom of three, a business
student and model. I have many talents, and drawing and
music are to name a few. I am a very driven,
goal-oriented and ambitious person. I'm extremely fun,
light-hearted and out-going, despite my many tragic
struggles. I've over come and surpassed many obstacles
in my life that many has not witnessed in their own. I
am proud of who I am today because of it, and my current
goal? To be an inspiration to everyone.
CRED: Do you like sports? If so what’s your favorite and
why:
IKANDY: I
just got into football recently. And I WOULD HAVE TO
SAY- GOOOOOOOO SAIINTSS!! Why?! Because they are
winning! and also New Orleans is giving me that fame! I
also played volleyball in high school and was captain of
JV.
CRED: How long have you been modeling? What inspired you
to become a Model?
IKANDY:
I've modeled for 2 and half years, and dove in it
hardcore these past few months. I have a big fan base in
only less than 2 months! It is my dream to be in the
entertainment industry, modeling is what I do best. It
gave me confidence that I needed to overcome a few of my
obstacles. Many people throughout my life have mentioned
the route to me, and I eventually did, after I finished
nursing school. My inspirations? Financially stability
for my family, and of course fame!
CRED: How will you change the game?
IKANDY:
I’m not in the business of modeling, just because I
think I’m pretty. I have future aspirations of becoming
more than just a model, but a role model, a leader and
an entrepreneur. I’m here to inspire those with
hardships to conquer all that life throws at them, and
to fulfill their dreams. You have to push yourself to
the limits, and for me, there are no limits to success!
CRED: What else do you do for fun?
IKANDY: I
enjoy baking brownies, eating popcorn and watching a
block buster movie or bootleg if I’m broke. I also love
to dance on Bourbon Street and I love to eat!
CRED: What is your idea of a good date?
IKANDY: I
love amusement parks.. but that’s such a cliché date,
huh? Take me somewhere fun and anywhere we can talk, but
don’t forget to feeeeeeed meeeee!
CRED: Who’s your favorite entertainer/musician/vocalist
or rapper?
IKANDY:
BEYONCE ! Because she is just so damn classy! I love
Lady Gaga because she worked hard to get where she's at
plus we share the same birthday, pop would be boring
without her and I love Ne-Yo! He's my favorite R&B
singer, and I also got to be in his video, and I like
LiL Wayne, lol , cause he's funny, he has personality
and it shows in his music. My all time favorite singer
is Nelly Furtado, she’s the only one, that I’ve bought
all CD’s to. She’s different, and her music is moody.
