"BEN J"
Of "New Boyz"!
Let's get into some questions..
STANDISH: First off, how does it feel to be an internet sensation?
BEN: Feels great, I love it. This is what I always wanted. I always knew i had it in me and not in me. I always aspired to be a professional football player or a Rapper.
STANDISH: Your hit single "You're A Jerk" has over 8 Million views today on YouTube, did you ever think that it'd reach the numbers it has?
BEN: I’m not gone lie to you. That’s just our YouTube channel alone that has 8 Mil views on it and we released late on our channel. It was released first on Litt Live and has over 90 Million views. And I actually didn’t think it’ll reach that many views but I’m very grateful and appreciative.
STANDISH: Tell us a little about your overall mission, Ben J -
BEN: My mission is to have generation wealth. I don’t want my kids to struggle like me or my moms did. When we was younger. My mom had me a 15 and didn’t know too much. We pretty much learned everything together and it’s okay I still appreciate her even we didn’t have everything. But I learn from that and I want to give me kids and their kids the world etc.
STANDISH: How does it feel to be a "trendsetter" in the music industry?
BEN: It’s amazing it was me that changed the style in the fashion industry and the hip hop world. I can’t believe it. I always knew I’ll be famous for something.
STANDISH: What was it like to tour back in the early 2000's compared to nowadays?
BEN: Mann in the early 2000’s it was wild. The fans was still chasing you pulling you had no respect for your personal boundaries. I also got to tour with people like Chris Brown, Bow Wow, Sean Kingston, Twista, Warren G, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, The Game, Nelly, Flo Rida, LMFAO, Jerimiah, Mario and plenty more!! I can go all day. I was on 106 and park like 6 times. That was fun. The new era! They just young and wasn’t there back in the day when we was new to it all. So it not really fun anymore when you tour with these youngsters today, that’s the difference. You feel like your baby sitting.
STANDISH: What can we look forward to in the future from you?
BEN: I’m signing artist to my record label 100tho Records. I just signed my first artist name Turtle Turtle, he produce and raps. We have a lot of music in the works videos coming soon. Shows lined up etc. you can expect a real one like me not stop or give up just kuz some youngsters step through the door and are making some noise. Nah I’m still gone show them what to do and how to do it like the God father of this industry that I am.
STANDISH: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
BEN: I have a trucking company and plenty of other ideas so hopefully really in a different bracket that I am in now. I want to be in the high class in the next 5 years.
STANDISH: What does a relaxing day look like to Ben J today?
BEN: A relaxing day for Ben J looks like, we’re going camping somewhere starting a fire by the lake. With the family. We got snacks, drinks, drank, tree, and everything we need to feel good for the next three days lol
STANDISH: Who are some of your mentors?
BEN: I have a mentor that mentors me on how to get my trucking company going. I also look up to a couple different artist to keep me going. I like people such as Drake, Kanye West, I like old school music, rock music, a little country. A lot of techno and dub step or house music. Whatever keeps you Jumping you know.
STANDISH: During COVID, we all faced struggles, what was one of your main struggles?
BEN: During COVID I was having a baby so keeping away from all the germs making sure my shorty was okay was a lil bit challenging but definitely had to do it. I didn’t really have any challenges do to me being a New Boy I get paid residual income so I didn’t have to worry about working or anything or being broke lol

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: "Chrissie Wunna" Talks Playboy, MTV, New Films & More With Standish...
Standish913.com has been blessed to do an exclusive interview with...
"CHRISSIE WUNNA"!
Let's get into some exclusive questions...
STANDISH: So, you began your career as a Playboy model, tell us how you got into this legacy...
CHRISSIE: I had moved to LA from Yorkshire, England..I’d been there for a while, was sat at a coffee shop in West Hollywood and a photographer came up to be, gave me a card and asked me if I wanted to test shoot with him, because I’d make a great model. I didn’t know what it was for…but I’m quite adventurous, so I went on the test shoot the next day…two days later booked the job..and then found out he was a photographer for Playboy. So that’s how I wiggled and winked my way into such a legendary part of Glamour Puss history. I loved it so much I’m still Glamour model today and celebrate my own onlyfans.
STANDISH: You play "Lucy" in "Pterodactyl", how'd you land this role?
CHRISSIE: By the time I shot Pterodactyl, I’d already rattled myself up a CV of indie films. I’d done quite a lot and had worked with the producers of the film numerous times…who I love and still do. They’d seen my work many times before, so they simply offered me the role..and I accepted it straight away.
STANDISH: Your iMDb shows post production credits for "Cinderella's Curse", can you tell us more about this film and your role as the "Fairy Godmother"?
CHRISSIE: Gosh! Yes! I’ve had the most incredible time filming Cinderella’s Curse. I’m actually still filming and not yet wrapped from the film. I have one more day on set. I found out I’d got the role whilst at a party at the Cannes Film Festival from Champdog Films and what a role! Getting to play the film version of the ‘Fairy Godmother’ in such an iconic story and watch the film go viral online before we’d even started filming was both so wonderful and terrifying because I knew I had to do more than a good job. But I like to feel challenged. This is my first ‘character’ role. It’s a powerful role and our story is obviously dark, disturbing and gut wrenchingly horrific. It’s ‘next level’ horror and filled with such great talent. The ‘Fairy Godmother’ in this story is evil, manipulative and wickedly disturbed. We’ve all worked really hard and excited that it hits cinema screens globally this year.
STANDISH: You have post production credits for "Winnie The Pooh: Blood & Honey 2" playing the "Nurse", can you tell us more & how you landed this role?
CHRISSIE: What a cast and a team to be part of! People are going to be blown away by this sequel. The production level is incredible. The story is twisted. It’s terrifying and will absolutely shock audiences worldwide. I’ve worked with the producers Rhys Waterfield and Scott Jeffrey at Jagged Edge Productions on numerous films, so to be offered a role in this film that has pretty much taken over the world, after it to went viral and scored its own giant cult following is a dream come true. I had initially been offered a role in the first film. however due to scheduling I was unable to do it. Yet, everything happens for a reason and I’m so glad that you I got to be part of ‘Blood & Honey 2.’ I got a text one afternoon asking me if I wanted to play the role…and I literally jumped up screaming with excitement. Rhys and Scott have worked so hard to make the sequel remarkable and I’ve only ever watched bits of playback and even from that raw footage alone, my mind is blown. But yes, I play the nurse, who works closely with ‘Christopher Robin’ who is now a doctor, played by Scott Chambers. I’m not allowed to tell you much more. But I assure you.. crazy things happen!
STANDISH: You were on MTV's "Love At First Lie", can you tell us more?
CHRISSIE: Yes! I’ve done a lot of reality tv. I started our back in 2009, when I made my mark on ‘Paris Hilton’s British Best Friend’ on itv2. Since then, I’d done quite a lot! Casting already knew me from shows and slid into my Instagram dms to see if I wanted to audition. However, they said I’d have to find a guy/partner to do it with, as we would have to go into the show as a fake couple, pretending to be a real couple and convince everyone we were a real couple to win a giant cash prize.
It was so much fun! We filmed in Malta for a few weeks. It made so many new friends both from the US and UK, as the show premiered in the States first on MTV. It wasn’t even challenging. It was simply the best time and I got to work with Tori Spelling! That was crazy! She was so lovely. But yeah, I ended up doing quite well on the show, but the memories I’ve made are memories I’ll treasure forever.
STANDISH: You are on Channel 4's "Steph's Packed Lunch", tell us what all you do here exactly...
CHRISSIE: Well sadly the show has now been cancelled. So I’m not on the show anymore, but had a great 3 year run on the series. It was daytime tv. Kind of like the British ‘Ellen Show.’ It was filmed in Leeds, broadcast nationally and was first ever regular role on daytime tv, which I didn’t expect as I have quite a colourful past. If I could say anything about the show I’d say I made friends for life and had the most remarkable time. I mean, I’m always someone who finds it easy to move forward. You have to in entertainment. I’m used to it. Yet, those memories are certainly ones I’ll box up and label as ‘good times.’
STANDISH: Out of all of your work, what's been your favorite?
CHRISSIE: I’ll say this..any time I get offered a job and I’m lucky enough to do something that I love, that I’ve dreamed of since being a little girl, I feel grateful. I’ve worked really hard and everyone knows it’s not easy. So anytime ok working..it’s my favourite.
But if I’m picking favourites ‘Naked Attraction’ by Studio Lambert has been my most favourite tv show that I’ve ever filmed in my life. Nothing will ever beat it and my favourite film I’ve ever worked on has been the Disney horror fairytale re-tellings. I’ve loved working on both Cinderella’s Curse and Blood and Honey 2 and honoured to be part of franchise.
STANDISH: Tell us a little about your overall mission, Chrissie -
CHRISSIE: My overall mission is to firstly be remain happy, be a success and provide the most wonderful life for my two children Ruby & Junior (who are both also in ‘Blood & Honey 2.’) I want to be able to entertain, inspire and create that show girl magic for the rest of my entire life. I hope to be recognised for the graft and the hard work and I hope to share love and prove that anyone can make their actual dreams come true.. if they just try. If I could share anything it would be love, support and confidence.
STANDISH: What can we look forward to in the future from you?
CHRISSIE: This year I have the two cinema releases and begin filming ‘Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare,’ which is going to be incredible. I also have 2 new tv shows coming out and also filming a couple of new shows that I’m really excited about.
STANDISH: Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now?
CHRISSIE: Hopefully, career wise I’ll be some iconically, huge success. That’s where I’d like to be. I’m also a hopeless romantic so I hope to also have settled down in love and being a northern family girl, hoped to have raised the happiest children alive.
STANDISH: Who are some of your mentors?
CHRISSIE: I don’t have a specific mentor, but I learn things from people every single minute of every day, simply by watching, listening and absorbing. Whether they’re an agent in the industry, an old man who I’ve accidentally bumped into at a coffee shop. You can learn a lot from the simplest moments, places and people. But I mean, if we’re gonna go bouji, I’ve been lucky enough to work with some incredibly successful people. Paris Hilton one of the most successful women in the planet. I learnt so much from her and she’s incredible and I even once did a work/mentor lunch with Alfie Best Senior, the Gypsy Billionaire who taught me about money, how to make it and success and what a gent. I can’t event tell you how much that chat helped. I listened to them both…and I’d like to think I’m ‘delivering.’
STANDISH: During COVID, we all faced struggles, what was one of your main struggles?
CHRISSIE: Well, I was lucky enough to still be able to work. So I was on ‘Stephs Packed Lunch’ every week, 3 times a week and filming movies..the rest of the time I was at home with my babies, so it was actually bliss. I had the best time.
STANDISH: If you could choose one role to play, what would it be?
CHRISSIE: I’m like to be a new sexy, but vicious character in a Marvel film.
STANDISH: Where can fans find your work?
CHRISSIE: Amazon Prime, Netflix, Paramount Plus, MTV, Channel 4 and at the cinema this year.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Creative Animator "Nath Milburn" Talks "The Simpsons", "Hey Arnold" & Much More With Standish...
Standish913.com has been blessed to do an exclusive interview with...
"NATH MILBURN"!
STANDISH: You did animation for "The Simpsons", tell us how you landed that & what was your favorite character?
NATH: I believe I "cold" emailed the producer. They brought me in for an interview. I'm not sure if I tested or not, but that's how I got it. I have been freelancing on and off ever since.
STANDISH: What's it feel like to be apart of "The Simpsons" legacy?
NATH: To be honest, it didn't feel like much. It's one of those legacy shows where they've already got their styles and ways of doing stuff. You're just kind of copying it at that point. The one thing I did like was going to their annual Christmas/premiere party each year. I have a problem where I can't watch shows I work on. I try not to work on too many shows I like to watch because it'll ruin it for me. Luckily, I can still watch the old seasons. Feels different.
STANDISH: You did animation for "Hey Arnold: The Jungle Book", how'd you land that and what was that opportunity like?
NATH: I was their lead character designer. I landed it through a friend. On Breadwinners, I sat next to Jerry Richardson who used to work on the original Hey Arnold series. I mentioned to him they were thinking of rebooting it. He hit up his old buddies who helped him land the Art Director gig, and then he brought me in. It was all through friendships and connections.
STANDISH: How does it feel to be such an inspiration in the cartoon community?
NATH: First time someones ever asked me that. I don't feel like I am or notice me being one. I don't know!
STANDISH: Tell us a little about your overall mission, Nathaniel -
NATH: My original mission was to have my own animated tv series. Things have changed since then. I just love making stuff, no matter the medium. As long as I can pay my bills, live comfortably, and make stuff. I'm good.
STANDISH: Out of all the work you've done, which one was the hardest to work & why? Your favorite work & why?
NATH: Thundercats Roar was one of my favorites. I always love it when the crew acts like friends. They hang out together, talk together, and keep up with each other. My least favorite are the ones that treat it just like work and move on. They try to overdo it. They consider the artists "assets". I won't name the ones I didn't like working on. Showrunners should treat their employees like friends, like people who sacrifice part of their lives to make their show. When you start implementing hierarchies, the problem gets worse.
STANDISH: How old were you when you first realized you wanted to do what you do today?
NATH: Invader Zim came out in 2001. When I used to watch that, I started realizing people made these. That's when I got curious. I think I was around 12.
STANDISH: Where do you find your motivation to be great?
NATH: Everything. Anything that gives me a feeling. Music, movies, art, life, you name it.
STANDISH: What can we look forward to in the future from you?
NATH: A live-action feature film in theaters.
STANDISH: Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now?
NATH: Winning an Emmy, oscar, or Golden Globe.
STANDISH: Who are some of your mentors?
NATH: I've worked with so many, hard to pick. My inspirations are more my mentors than anything. Just keep searching. Looking.
STANDISH: During COVID, we all faced struggles, what was one of your main struggles?
NATH: Gaining weight and adjusting to working from home. I got very comfortable. To the point of getting lazy, gaining weight, and playing games late into the night. I did well for the first 7 months and then fell into a trap. Last year I started fixing those habits.
STANDISH: Where can fans find your work?
STANDISH: Anything you'd like to include?
NATH: Try new things. Be cool.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Darryl "DMC" McDaniels Talks DMC Cookies, New Projects & Much More With Standish...
Standish913.com has been blessed to do another exclusive interview with...
Darryl 'DMC' McDaniels!
Let's get into some questions...
STANDISH: DMC Cookies have been introduced to the universe, can you tell us more about your cookie mission? Any other varieties coming?
DMC: Darryl Makes Cookies was something I’ve been thinking about for a few years.. I like creating things that are fun good and that make people happy. I’m always around children adults and families. I thought in addition to my music, My Adidas and my comic books, what could I create. I love cookies and I love people! I’m going to be everywhere cookies are. We will have more flavors, gluten free, vegan and of course a protein cookie for the gym!
STANDISH: Should we be expecting any new books from you? Whether comics, children's, etc.
DMC: Of course more books are coming. 2 new childrens books are own the way: Darryl’s Decision and Young DMCs Christmas In Hollis. And the DMC #4 graphic novel comic book is being created as we speak!
STANDISH: Having "Darryl Makes Comics", is there anyone you're dying to collab with in the comic world?
DMC: I have really incredible productions coming. Not just the books! I’m working with Chase Conley on something SUPER magnificent! I’ve worked with him before on early on in The DMCU. DMC #4 has a great writer, some incredible new talents, and one of my fav writer artist creators! DMC #4 is really good because of the people I worked with. I also want to collab with Marvel and do a DMC Spider-Man team up! Makes sense because we are both from Queens!!! Marvel Let’s Meet!!!!
STANDISH: You have your own DMC wine, can you tell us more and where we can purchase it at?
DMC: I don’t actually have my own wine. Old York Cellars in Ringoes NJ has a magnificent vineyard where they do collaborations for charity! They created a DMC wine line where percentage of the proceeds go to The Felix Organization my foundation for children and youth in the foster care system. You can go to Old York Cellars website to find out how to get the DMC Labeled wines.. People that do drink and love wine say it’s a real good wine! Great for collectors, people that do drink and if you want to do something good for children. Old York is a wonderful place so if you ever come east to NYC or NJ, I suggest you should visit there. They do sell the DMC wine certain in Wegmans Supermarkets right now.
STANDISH: Today, what would you say your biggest accomplishment has been?
DMC: My biggest accomplishment is being living proof that you can beat and defeat whatever you are struggling with. I had a multitude of mental health battles.
“Im not afraid of the dark anymore
Because I am the light
I’ll be there at the start of the war
Because I am the fight
I’ll be the first to walk through the door
cause I don’t want you die
I’m not going to cry anymore because I already cried
I’ll be the cure for all of the ills
All the emotions and the thing that kills
Paid my dues like I pay my bills
Still gonna fued with the dudes on the hill
It’s okay cause I’m at ease
Kool like a breeze as it moves through the trees
Just like a wind as it sails on the seas…..
Sweet melodies is all I need!!!
STANDISH: You create opportunities for kids in foster care with "The Felix Organization", can you tell us more?
DMC: Every child deserves the opportunity to become the people they were born to be. Their situation doesn’t define who they are. We started Camp Felix to get them around others like them, their siblings and other children so they can see the truth and beauty of who they are regardless of what they are going through. From camp to college or career is what Camp Felix focuses on! Me and Sheila Jaffe, who is an award winning casting director out in Hollywood, are the cofounders. We are both adopted and we have the best team of people that make it possible to make dreams come true. Check out TheFelixOrganization.org - Donate Participate and become part of the empowerment!
STANDISH: What all can we look forward to in the future from you?
DMC: My next frontier to boldly go where no one has gone is animation, tv series, film and Broadway! And of course new single is being released in June with album to follow.
Single is called "She Gets Me High" and the musicians feat on it are Travis Barker, Mick Mars, Duff McKagan and Sebastian Bach. It is PHENOMENAL! Album is called America! Feat. Joan Jett Chuck D Ice T Jazzy Jeff and Sammy Hagar just to name a few.
STANDISH: Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now?
DMC: Right here still doing interviews with Standish!!!
STANDISH: If you could pick 1 person in the entire industry to do a song with, who would it be?
DMC: Looking to collab with Sir Paul! One of The Beatles with One of The Beatles of Hip Hop??? PMC and DMC! Legendary!!!! Game Changer!!!
STANDISH: Who's your top 3 of all time?
DMC: Me, Myself and I! As De La Soul would say!
or
Freddie Mercury Mick Jagger Rob Halford
or
Sharock Joan Jett Janis Joplin
or
Chuck D Grandmaster Caz Kool Moe D
or
Paul McCartney John Lennon Chris Cornell
I could go on and on!
My top 3 changes because of each individual connection on a daily basis.
But a consistent top 3 who will show up constantly is Chuck D, Freddie Mercury and Caz!
STANDISH: What does a relaxing day look like to D today?
DMC: Sitting writing a song or creating a new story for my childrens book, comic book, or writing for my play or musical.
STANDISH: Anything you'd like to include here?
DMC: 50 years of Hip Hop and I’m just getting started!!! Joan Jett told me to keep on Rrrocking!!!

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Actor "JASON BAYLE" Talks Working With Jamie Foxx, "Happy Death Day", "The Burial", & More With Standish913...
Standish913.com has been blessed to do an exclusive interview with...
"JASON BAYLE"!
Let's get into some exclusive questions...
HEATHER: What was the most memorable part of acting on "Happy Death Day”?
JASON: Sometimes you can tell from the beginning that you have good actor chemistry with someone and I could sense that Jessica and I could play well with each from the minute we met. And that that film is so funny and touching and scary is a testament to how talented a filmmaker Christopher Landon is.
HEATHER: You played "Gordon Metzger" in 2023's "The Burial" starring Jamie Foxx & Tommy Lee Jones, how'd you land this role?
JASON: I audition, had a zoom callback with Maggie Betts, the director, and booked it.
HEATHER: You played an "Associate Lawyer" in "Get Hard" starring Kevin Hart & Wil Farrell, how'd you land this role & what was the set atmosphere like?
JASON: That was the first film I ever booked and I got cut out of the scene I was in. The atmosphere was great but I was scared out of my mind. I was there with Will, Alison Brie, Craig T. Nelson, and I could barely breathe. Probably why I didn’t make the final cut. But they were super welcoming and supportive. It was great experience.
HEATHER: Which set location was the most interesting to work at?
JASON: The closed prison they used for Black Bird is a spooky one. You can feel the ghosts in the walls.
HEATHER: What is the most fulfilling part of being a speaker coach?
JASON: Helping people find their most authentic and expressive self never gets old. And I feel like I get to use a lifetime of experience and brand new way.
HEATHER: Out of every location you've worked on which was the most challenging and why?
JASON: We did over night shoots for Roots and that was tough. Hard to muster your best concentration at 2am in the morning.
HEATHER: We find inspiration in so many things. What inspired you the most to start your career in the film industry?
JASON: The main thing that has kept me in the business are teachers and mentors and the people I meet. The combined effect of someone appreciating your work and the encouragement you receive along the way is the thing that keeps you going.
HEATHER: What types of characters are you most excited to land role for, why?
JASON: I’m not too picky these days frankly, but I love characters that do the wrong thing for the right reasons.
HEATHER: Have you had to reject any roles due to conflicting schedules?
JASON: I try not to! But happens to the best of us. Schedules shift and sometimes things just can’t be help and you have to pull out of project.
HEATHER: Acting can be very demanding on the mind and body. What is something, possibly a hobby, you do to relax in your free time?
JASON: I like to read, spend time with my family. I try to exercise and meditate. I have a great group of friends and I play golf as often as I can with them.
HEATHER: If you wouldn't have proceeded with acting, what do you think your career would be today?
JASON: That’s a really great question. Maybe in tech somewhere, like IT? Hard to tell. Feel like I”m pot committed at this point in my life.
HEATHER: Out of all of your credits, what's been your favorite?
JASON: Like asking who’s your favorite child! I’ve been lucky to work with tremendously talented artists. Getting to do a scene with Jamie Foxx was a dream. Working with Dennis Lehane on Black Bird. In 2019 I got to double Alex winter and and play Bill, of camera for he and Keanu on the new Bill and Ted movie. It was a fantastic experience. I’m lucky on so many levels. Every piece of TV or film that gets made is miracle. I try to appreciate them all and not take them for granted.
HEATHER: Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now?
JASON: If I could script it for myself, I’d be on a really cool Sci-Fi series.
HEATHER: Who are some of your mentors?
JASON: Kathy Scambiaterra, Jon Shear, Fred Hoebel, George Judy, Rick Holben.
HEATHER: During COVID, we all faced struggles, what was one of your main struggles?
JASON: Paying the mortgage! We were really lucky though and as I look back on that time, we spent so much time together as a family that I treasure it. And we never got sick.
HEATHER: Where can fans find your work?
JASON: I think I’m just about all over the streamers. But you can find me on Instagram too. @jasonbayle
HEATHER: What are your social links?
JASON: @jasonbayle, on instagram and X
