Famed actress and “Single Ladies” star LisaRaye sat down with TheYBF.com for an exclusive conversation about the third season of her hit VH1 show, the sensational fashions she’ll be wearing and whether marriage is in her future or not.  More inside….

 

As fans of VH!’s dishy-original series, “Single Ladies” prepares for a third season (premiering Monday, January 6, 2014 at 9PM ET/PT), TheYBF.com caught up with leading actress LisaRaye, a single lady herself, and dished on the changes her character Keisha will go through this season (including a new romance) and her spicy wardrobe.  Lisa also opened up about her failed marriage and not wanting to grow old alone. Here are highlights from our intimate conversation.

LisaRaye on her character Keisha:

She is finally in a solid relationship with Malcolm. They are together and they have confessed their love for each other. She broke him and he broke her and they finally are on even territory so there is a sense of true love. Malcolm does go through some things this season… something major and it takes Keisha to really hold his hand. I am your support.. I am your woman. There is something that happens to a family member that will either tear them apart or make them closer. Also…this season she is helping Raquel in the boutique this season. She has a rich man so she has the time to help her friend out.

On “Single Ladies” fashion and her personal style:

As a character I wear all kinds of colors, and it allows me to keep up with fashion. How you can put different colors together? Although LisaRaye wears white…..I enjoy seeing to see the combination of what blouse will go with what pant (for my character). As LisaRaye, my accessories are essential. Purse. Shoes. Those are the only parts that are color (that I wear) so they have to be on point.

On Anthony (the “Single Ladies” stylist):

Anthony is doing the clothes this year and he is doing a wonderful job. He is getting to do what he does and that is playing dress up with 3 Barbie dolls. We are all shaped differently and we all bring something to the table. He puts all different labels on us and just play. I enjoy it… it is a fantasy thing for me.

On dating and wanting to get married again:

No I am not dating. I want to be married again… I cannot wait to get in a committed relationship. It is just easier to fight life with a life partner. And then I don’t want to grow old by myself. I want to explore life with someone. I want to start dating the man I am supposed to marry too. But I am not “over” excited about it. I am waiting for him to come … patiently. I know that when I was looking for my significant other (she is divorced from Former Turks and Caicos Islands Premier Michael Misick) I didn’t do it right… cause if I did ….I would still be with him now. I got my list like everybody else but whomever God puts in my life and I get that feeling… that “ahhhhhh” feeling….I am waiting for that feeling. A real friend.

On romance and rumors:

People are always putting me in a relationship with anyone they just see me with. I am not going to make my relationship a secret. That will be a happy time of my life.

On interracial dating:

I went to Italy and fell in love with EVERYTHING about it.

On returning to reality tv:

I am in talks right now for a new reality show that I am going to do! It is different and it is positive of course. Everything I do is going to be positive. No info on any deets yet.

On her daughter:

She is always going to be my baby. I still get sensitive. When I think of her as a baby. She was my best friend. She changed my life for the better. She made me more of a woman. More responsible. She made me want to do more. She gave me a second chance at life.

Behind the Scenes: Deja Destinee’s Creative Process and Musical Inspiration

Published

on

The music industry is an ever-evolving landscape where artists must find their unique voice to stand out. In a detailed conversation, the grind of music and creativity were dissected with candor and passion by Shah Cypha and the multi-talented artist, Deja Destinée. They unpack the essence of Deja’s brand, her perspective on the music industry, and her multifaceted ventures beyond music.

The Genesis of a Brand: A Personal Story Through Music

The brand an artist creates is often a tapestry woven from their personal stories. For Deja Destinée, her name carries a legacy and an inspiration that fuels her artistic presence. “Deja Destiny is destiny… My first name was by my sister… Named after Tyra Banks’ character in Higher Learning… Destiny was named by my grandmother before I was born,” she recounts. This personal lineage adds depth to her music and offers her audience a piece of her narrative, creating a genuine connection that transcends the rhythms and lyrics.

In the music industry, the background behind a name often holds a significant weight, and Deja’s is intertwined deeply with her familial ties. Her music doesn’t just offer sound; it provides listeners with resonance, a shared experience that taps into the emotional fabric of the listener. This personal touch has become a beacon for her brand and her music, positioning her as an artist with a story to tell, a history to honor, and a future to shape.

Commanding the Stage: Performance as a Reflection of the Artist

A major theme from the discussion centered around Deja’s approach to performance. Stating that music comes as “first nature,” it’s evident that her on-stage persona is where she truly shines. Describing her performances, Deja says, “I give a lot of cocky energy. When I get on the stage, I usually bring my dancers, I have, you know, the flashy custom outfits… it makes them feel good, and for it to make them feel like they really that b\*\*\*h.”

This attitude exemplifies the confidence and showmanship that Deja brings to her craft, setting her apart in a crowded industry. The energy of a live performance, where the artist and audience feed off each other’s enthusiasm, is particularly crucial for Deja. Each show becomes an intimate conversation between them, a shared moment of empowerment and celebration of talent. It’s in these details that Deja’s commitment to her artistry, and her desire to elevate the music experience, shines brightest.

A Nexus of Creativity: Beyond Music

During the conversation, it became apparent that Deja is not content with being pigeonholed as just a musician. With interests in acting and entrepreneurship, such as her unique skincare line *Co-Skin*, she relays, “I do hair, I do makeup, I have my own like, skincare line doing shea butter… It’s so many things that I feel like I can tap into.”

Her tenacity to take on multiple creative endeavors showcases not only her talent but her understanding of the importance of diversification in a modern artist’s career. Deja leverages her platform in music to venture into other areas of interest, broadening her reach and solidifying her presence both in and out of the music world. This blend of artistry and enterprise spotlights a new generation of artists who are as business-minded as they are creative, indicative of the changing tides within the industry.

The Future Sounds of Success: Deja’s Continual Growth

As the conversation turned towards future prospects, Deja Destinée laid out her vision of evolving within the industry and her plans to be a game-changer. With new music on the horizon, including the engagingly titled single “ATE”, and a role in the upcoming film premiere set for June 6th at Newark Cinema, Deja’s grind is relentless.

Echoing her earlier sentiments on the significance of grinding, she reiterates, “To work and put in the work… when you don’t want to do it, put in the work then, too, because in the end, it’s gonna pay off.” It’s with this unwavering dedication and drive that Deja Destinée forges ahead, paving her path with an unshakeable belief in her art and her ability to influence the industry.

Deja’s narrative is one that is building upon the foundations of authenticity, perseverance, and an uncompromising vision for what she wants to achieve. With a solid grounding in the values instilled in her name and approach to music, the future beckons with infinite possibilities, each one an opportunity to further the imprint of Deja Destinée on the world.
