Dencia's first look for
House of Maliq magazine’s Luxury Issue with the
pop star dressed in gold was her first deal with the house.
Now House of Maliq has released more photos from
the editorial spread, shot by Scott Herbert, as well
as her interview with the magazine.
Read excerpts from her feature below.
On her projects: I’ve been chasing my dreams and
living life. I’m working hard and having lots of fun
doing it. I’m currently on the road promoting my
new single, “African energy” . This week alone, I
just left Las Vegas, where I attended the billboard
awards for Los Angeles to kiss my beautiful dogs
and now headed to Lagos to premier the video for
my new single, “African energy” and then Europe
for more promotion.
On her inspirations: I’m a goal driven person who is
relentless in pursuing my dreams. I’m inspired by
not just one person. I draw inspiration from
everything and everyone around me. I’m inspired by
powerful & successful women like Folurunsho
Alakija, historical greats like the Queen of Matamba,
Madam CJ Walker( okay let me not get too deep lol)
and of course my grandmother who raised me to be
fearless. I’m also inspired by haters, I’ve observed
that the more focused you are and the higher you
climb the ladder to success in life, the less you can
hear their rants, rumors and lies from below.
On her passion for fashion : Fashion is something
i’m extremely passionate about. I truly enjoy colors,
sunglasses, shoes, visors, accessories, anything
fashion. I believe I’ve always had style since i was
a little girl. I believe fashion is an expression of
personal or collective style. it can speak for a
person, culture or group of people. There is hip hop
inspired fashion,vintage fashion, chic styled fashion,
edgy harijuku style & pop fashion, all types of
fashion. The most important thing is having your
own style and expressing yourself however you
chose to. I’ve attended fashion events all over the
world from Europe to Tokyo and of course the
United States. I’m always networking and studying
the game like Kanye West. You can bet on the fact
that I will be respected and known in the fashion
industry shortly.
On being controversial in the music industry: What
industry? i’m not part of any industry because I am
in any every industry . Music is how I express
myself,music has helped me grow,I don’t relate to
most artists because we are different people with
different dreams & visions,I have a vision,driven by
a vision of a different version.. I don’t have the
same challenges they have. I'm in my own lane,
They can’t make their own decisions and rely on
music to survive. In my situation, I’m focused on
building a beauty brand,fashion & much more that
will take care of me and my future kids and their
kids. Any controversy is mostly because people
choose to focus on my personal choices. I just live
my life and people talk about it. I’m motivated by
the fact that I’m not yet where God wants me to be..
I found out Steve Forbes the CEO follows me on
twitter and i’m very excited. That means i must be
doing something right. Well she is one fashionista to watch out for
