"I am a series of small victories and large defeats and I am amazed like any other that I have gotten from there to here"
That quote is basically representing my life . I'm Anthony Gil - 23 years old from the Bronx NY . I started Modeling at 15 years old when I had did a teen competition for IMG model and got to be in a gap spread. I always wanted to model since the age of 5 years old. My aunt was also an IMG model so I use to watch her all the time practice at home. I always doubt it myself that it was going to happen for me because of my skin , weight and braces . You could say I was what people would call an ugly ducky . I didn't have much self confidences because I felt like a black sheep. Going through struggles from making bad decisions to being on the street due to some of decisions I made. I became a rebel and was angry all the time because I didn't feel accept by those close to me (friends and family). My dark past and my dream is what I had to motivate me and I didn't want it to be just a dream
This year so far I have been feature in two blogs for my fashion / the way I dress . I was on the sasha show - MTV2 , interview by sway in the morning assistant . Have done photoshoots , video shoots , radio press and have cohost the buzz NYC talk show. I recently got signed to a production team and now working on my first single to drop by the end of this year . . I was one of those people who didn't believe in themselves because of some many negative people in my life bringing me down and telling me it wasn't gunna happen for me . I could say that this year having people in the business wanting to work with me and telling me I'm beautiful and I'm amazing it gave me the confidence that I am good enough to represent for anyone who ever felt like they couldn't do it or had people telling them no .. I have had the doors slam on me many times and now look with drive and motivation I have done things I thought I would never do and what's yet to come . My life is modeling, fashion and singing and it will continue being my life until I get everything on my bucket list off . With each passion of mine I have a different goal . Modeling I wanna be the cover of ink magazine . With fashion I would love to own my clothing line and with singing of course like any artist I wanna Grammy one day and be recognize for my talent . Dreams are what has gotten me here and what's going to continue pushing me forward . Stay true to myself and stay positive .
