Check Out Da’von Wildy’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Da’von Wildy

Hi Da’Von, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Hello, I started modeling by taking a few random photos and keeping them in my phone. Once I seen that I got the hang of taking photos I started networking in my city and went on Instagram to find a professional photographer that would be suitable for me. Then I started working with different photographers from different cities until I came across my main photographer that I have now who had the same vision as me. After that we started working hard almost everyday and that’s how I got to be where I’m at today.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My path has not been a smooth road because of many obstacles I faced throughout my life. One struggle that I have faced along the way was being in the company of toxic and negative people in which hindered my growth as a person. While being around toxic people I started to develop a negative outlook on life which made me have self doubt in myself. Another struggle I faced in my life was having to go through depression. While going through depression I was having many wild thoughts and having little to no energy to do things that I normally enjoyed doing. All in all, with the help of God, my mother, and friends I was able to get help with the obstacles I was facing.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am a model, photographer and I have my own clothing brand. I mostly specialize in modeling and photography. I am mostly known for my goofy funny personality and my creative modeling pictures that I take. One important thing I can say that I’m proud of is that no matter what cards I was dealt in life I still came out successful while still having a positive mindset in the end . Another thing I can say I’m proud of is having the opportunity to model for NYFW multiple times and becoming a brand ambassador for Rockstar Original clothing brand. Some things that sets me apart from others is that I am very ambitious, supportive and I don’t let my troubling past define my future. Also, I feel like my humor and my look as a whole sets me apart from others as well.

So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
The only thing that I feel that matters most to me is giving my mother a better lifestyle overall. This is very crucial to me because she has played a tremendous role in my life and honestly the reason why I’m where I’m at today. She has definitely motivated me even when I wanted to give up and has helped with my problems while facing problems of her own. Overall, this woman is the strongest woman I know and I won’t be satisfied until she’s set for life.
