About Me:
Hello all! I come to you as myself (Mellissia Jennise Giles). Before the media and the public gets a chance to tell my story, let me be the one to set it strait before it occurs. I present myself under the influence as I most times am. My life is like an open book. My music tells a story! Most of it comes from parts of my own life. Some may be in an art form that tells the story of another, but for the most part, the story is a part of my life in some way. I am a firm believer in the fact that you have to go where you have been to get where you are going. Where I have been is to prison for selling drugs, fighting, and not giving a fu$k, stemming from young, stupid decision making. I have never been a perfect person, but I have always had an immense desire to help people. I hope through my music, people can learn from my mistakes, be motivated by the past that I am turning into my positive future, and be givien the need to pass on what they have learned as well. I am not perfect, I am human like everyone else, and I learn from my mistakes most days. Like Mary J. said it, "take me as I am". Please don't expect me to be the perfect role model and don't think I am preaching at anyone. I really have been in the drug game, I really did get snitched on by a "thug" who was supposed to live by certain rules in the streets, and I really do believe that there ain't no future in the game. Please accept my music as a way to shed a more positive light on the rap game and society as a whole. I also believe that we can save this generation if we put in the time and effort. I'm not a bad person; however, to look at my record you might think something different. If you type Mellissia Giles in your search engine, you will find the things I have done to redeem myself for the past that I have bestowed upon my community. I come to you not as a preacher or teacher, but as a real human being that is not afraid to go relive my past in order to enhance not only my future, but others future as well. My success comes through the success of others. I am happiest when I know that I have brought happiness to someone else. I have no doubt that before it's all over, the world will know who I am. No doubt, that comes along with the scurtiny of the press, and the opinions of others. I go into the game knowing this, and truthfully, it was one of the very things that has kept me out of the spot light for so long. I actually tried to run away from all of this and I was told that God gave me these talents for a reason and it was selfish of me to deny the world of what He has blessed me with. If that is the case, I appologize to Him and the public. I am focused now and I now accept the responsibility of delivering the message in a way that all or most can understand. I tried to run from it for so long but fate must have a gold medal because it keeps catching up to me. I always looked at it like in the entertainment industry, you are the product and I'm not for sale, but I now realize it's bigger than any opinion I have ever had. I can say this because I have done some motivational speaking and I have ran across some of the people that I talked too. I will share with you a true story... I was on my stoop where I used to live just hanging out with some peeps and we was "blazing". I tried to pass the blunt to this one person, and he said "I don't smoke no more and you're the reason. I know you might not remember me, but I heard you speak at the collge one day. Because of the things you said, I started taking my classes more seriously and I stopped somking." Imagine how I felt after I tried to pass him that blunt! It made me realize that I do have an affect on people and that too made me want to do more. In doing so, let me tell you that I am still not perfect for no one is. I still "blaze", and I still fall short of my purpose at times, but when I am in certain smoke circles, it is then that I reach people the most! It let's them know that you don't have to be perfect because most are doing the same thing or worse, they just have the deisire to hide and not get caught! I'm not condonining anything or saying that you should go out and "blaze" or whatever, I'm just saying that we all have a purpose despite what we have done. I'm saying that it dosen't make you less than the ones who don't anymore. I'm saying we all have our faults but they don't define who we are. Only you can do that. I will leave you with this poem since it's already copywrited: Remember Remember what I've done? Now Remember what I do! Remember how I chose, Now remeber how I choose! Remember how my temper used the best part of my mind? Now remember all the days I paid the enemy no mind. Remeber grace and prayer? Remember hurt and pain. Remember all the things I've done to bring me to a change! If you like that, I am also working on a book of poetry. Let me know what you think if you get a chance. Thank you. And that's one love from the Ghetto Princess, one love!
