Interview with Eve-Yasmine

MBC Times have followed Eve-Yasmine since the start of her amazing career. Now Eve-yasmine is worldwide known and is often invited to big ceremonies and festivals. So... Behind that successfull face. Who is really Eve-Yasmine? 

Hello Eve-Yasmine We at MBC Times are really amazed about your excellent prestations and presentations both as a presenter and singer. You have also been invited to one of the biggest festivals in the world Mawazine (Rabat, Capital of Morocco) to present it and promote it. So... 

How did you end up presenting Mawazine Festival...

When I was 16 years old I spent hours researching into Morocco to find out what festivals and events happen out there. After applying for accreditation for Casablanca Fashion Week and setting up an interview with RedOne I decided to apply for Festival Mawazine and I'm so glad I did. This festival was like no other, bringing artists from all over the world. When I went I had just GCSE French knowledge and a real burning desire to come back with as much content as possible. 3 years later I was invited back to report for the festival working alongside PR Media and News Group. It has without a doubt been one of the best experiences of my life and I'm so grateful for the new friends I have made. 

Your 2013 - 2014 best moments and archivements...

Performing in Croatia with CK last year at my first music festival was such a wonderful moment. Singing live on BBC Asian Network, performing at Kensington Roof Gardens and Westfield London and actually meeting people who have been following my work online and supporting me, it really touched my heart. Meeting Alicia Keys, seeing Justin Timberlake live properly for the first time and discovering new music at Mawazine was magical. This year I presented Britain's Top Designer and had my first interviews for Moroccan media TV channels, that was pretty awesome. 

Your happiest moments and people...

Every moment I share with my family is precious to me. I love laughing and having fun. My little twin brother and sister bring so much joy to the family. I also am lucky for the true friends I have made in the last couple of years, I've had a blessed transition in to adulthood. 

Your plans for the futur...

My plan for the future is to continue working hard to make my dreams come true and have a successful career in music. 

Your personal message to your fans...

Never give up on your dreams, embrace the dips and learn from every experience. It might take longer than you originally thought but the rewards and result will be worth it.

She was also a guesto of Honor to present and promote one of the biggest festivals in the world, Mawazine at Rabat (The capital of Morocco).

With no contacts in the industry, Eve-Yasmine at the age of 16 worked her way up in the entertainment industry in London, covering all things fashion, music and film, writing articles for print and online publications, interviewing, networking and giving everything her all and not taking no for an answer!

In her first year she became Editor at Superstarmagazine.com and secured high profile event coverage such as the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards and Capital FM’s Jingle Bell Ball. As a teen fashionista she endorsed various fashion designers wearing their designs to events and in interviews as well as reviewing major brands such as Kim Kardashian’s ShoeDazzle UK, make-up brand Collection 2000 and Eylure UK.

At the age of 17, Eve-Yasmine flew out to Morocco and covered Mawazine, Festimode Casablanca Fashion Week and interviewed RedOne who told her “I’m proud of you, really proud of you.” While she was out in Morocco, she had a 3 page feature in the UK’s biggest girl teen magazine called Shout. Britain’s Next Top Model Live then contacted her and chose her to be their official blogger and presenter at model castings. During London Fashion Week she presented for Fashion One TV interviewing LFW designers, models and fashionistas at Somerset House.

In 2012, Eve-Yasmine then moved into video content and started her new job at LIVE Magazine. In the same year she was nominated for her first award, she was chosen as a media finalist at the Spirit of London Awards at the 02 arena – the biggest awards for young people.

Being a media finalist led her to her being interviewed live on ITV London Tonight talking about what she does as a Presenter and youth in the media and she used this opportunity to raise awareness of the medical condition that she suffers from called Chronic Pain Syndrome which gives her aches and pains in her joints on a daily basis.

Charity work is also close to Eve-Yasmine’s heart, she has presented many events in the UK raising money for charities including the Be Inspired event at the Millennium Hotel which raised money for 4 Moroccan charities.

In March 2012 after being encouraged to do so, Eve-Yasmine began to pursue singing for the first time. In April Moroccan musician/music producer Blastermind and Eve-Yasmine collaborated for the first time, within two days of meeting they put online two videos, On Your Own and No Matter What They Say.

They’ve just put online their remix cover of Justin Timberlake’s Mirrors mixed with his old school classics – Cry Me A River, Senorita and Rock Your Body.

The CEO of Arabelles - Yasmine Smat, chose Eve-Yasmine to hand the sashes to the winners of each region of the world.

"I am proud to have been part of such an amazing contest celebrating and bringing together all the beautiful cultures we have around the world. I participated in a beauty pageant when I was 15 years old and it was one of the most amazing and empowering experiences - you grow in confidence and develop useful skills. I had so much fun performing at Arabelles with my dancers. Bravo to everyone involved!"
