Exclusive Interview With Siray Kong

What was your most memorable moment in life, would you want to relive it?
Modeling was something I always desire even as a little girl but not having the right support I always bottled it up inside. As life went on two people in my life believed in me. They would push and encourage me to move forward and give it another shot. I got into go go dancing and I started networking with people to gain the knowledge of how I can be more successful in modeling. I was introduced to modeling simple by just admiring the girls on magazines and hustled my butt off so I can invest in myself to get me out there. What I love about modeling is being able to put your emotions on a still photo and taking what I am blessed with and turning it into so much more.  Honestly, every day is memorable to me because everyday is it’s own blessing and I relive it each time I wake up.  I have no other side job but reaching for stars.

Do you have any other skills or jobs besides modeling that you’d like to let your fans know about?
The one thing people don’t know is that I am a singer. I started singing in a church. I am an emotional person and singing gives me  freedom. I am also very creative. I love to draw, write poems and simply make stuff =D
