Call her MAD! Call her CRAZY! Call her WHATEVER…!!

As a strong career minded woman Milk takes the holistic approach to becoming successful. Between juggling work, family and school, Amelia 'Milk' Sewell strives to be the best at what she does. She epitomizes the ultimate hustler. "I'm a mad woman, I have a lot of energy," she exclaimed. She is currently a TV program producer/host at CVM television, entrepreneur, artiste developer, student and mother.

Amelia maintains that her first priority in life is being an excellent mother and provider for her son. She told Buzzz about her flight attendant experience with Air Jamaica which in an ironic way brought her further on the rungs of motherhood. It was a job she was very good at, but due to the importance of being a parent she had to leave. "Being a mother is very important to me" and "I think mothers should be around all the time," she stressed significantly. She recalls having had to experience the feeling of despair when she realized the frequency of her being absent from home, "I realize that I was away more than I was at home".

Some people feel that with fame and fortune comes some sense of social responsibility. This means that artistes, movie stars, pop stars, successful athletes, and generally anyone who has managed to amass a great deal of money, especially through the support of a fan base, should in principal give back some of that money to the wider community.

Not every artiste agrees with this, evidently, citing that with taxes and traveling costs and their own personal needs and whatnot, they hardly have enough funds left back to keep their own heads above the water. It's really all a fantasy, they say, there's pain and heartache behind the glitter and glamour. But some artistes, even those who are themselves struggling, feel obliged to conform to this code of "giving back" for the sheer pleasure of giving, no strings attached.

Jamaican artistes in general host a number of charitable events. Morgan Heritage gives back to their community with their annual event 'East Fest', and a horde of other entertainers extends a helping hand. Artistes such as Beenie Man, Bounti Killa, Baby Cham, Junior Kelly, Lady Saw and, of course many others give to charitable causes. However, Buzzz closed in on three artistes who were available to speak with us.

Garland 'G Whiz' Fox
The Platinum Artist of Barbering

The evening of sporadic showers came to an end with the visit to Jamaica by the World Champion Barber Garland 'G Whiz' Fox. He was here on business as part of the Wahl Clipper and Forbes Manufacturing Seminar team that was held at the Pegasus Hotel. We met in the lobby of the Kingston hotel and proceeded to the bar where he tells us a few things about his life and career as the Champion Barber.

Dressed like a rap star from a magazine and topping off with a haircut that has so many waves sweeping across his cranium, he earned himself an ephemeral look from onlookers. It's not his extra tight hair cut or his hip hop apparel that let's you know something about his character; it's the five pound diamond and crystal encrusted electronic clipper that hangs from his neck which reveals who he really is.

"I'm a Master Barber, Platform Artist, Cosmetologist and Cosmetologist Instructor," are just a few titles thirty-two year old G Whiz holds. He's from a small town called Joliet in Illinois, located just on the outskirts of Chicago. He's a whiz when it comes to cutting hair and has won the World Champion Barber title back to back to prove it. Simply put, he's the Michael Jordan of barbering, with his very own clipper named after him. The 'G Whiz' due out in August, is being fully endorsed by the shear manufacturing giants Wahl.

Yellowman Still Reigns

Yellowman might very well be one of dancehall's first true comedians. His penchant for improvisation, and his witty style made him nothing short of a serious entertaining act. Those skills were often enhanced by some real dexterity at the turntables, and his self imposed moniker spoke not only to his albino skin but also to how bright his career would shine. Undeniably, his early works are cited as some of the most illustrious points of the dancehall genre. He has weathered the many tendencies of the music and his career at best encapsulates the music of dancehall as it began in the early 80's to where it has ended up now.

The fact is that life was by no means easy for the artiste growing up in the Kingston ghettos. Born in Jamaica as Winston Foster in 1959, the odds seemed to be against him from day one. It was one thing to be poor but it was another thing to be an albino. Due almost entirely in part to this unusual skin condition, he endured undue physical and emotional abuse. He went from institution to institution. At one point he found himself at the Alpha Boys Home. The said institution has always offered young, underprivileged males tremendous personal growth through its music program and has churned out many other stalwarts in the reggae music arena. Music quickly became an escape for Yellowman, who by this had discovered the likes of deejays Scotty and Daddy Uroy. Others were also beginning to notice his musical gifts. Music immediately offered him a chance to validate himself and must have done wonders for his self esteem.
