@iamluckydaye with @alexanderjulian for the cover of @essence shot in Los Angeles, CA. Writer: Brande Victorian @be_vic Stylist: Alexander-Julian Gibbson @alexanderjulian Groomer: Tracy Love @iamtracylovee Producer: Fox & Leopard @fox.and.leopard Thank you: @michelebphoto @coreytstokes - Welcome home @iamluckydaye! Let the record reflect that there is nothing overnight about our cover star’s journey to success. Hard work, resilience, and an unmatched charm are the ingredients that make up the calm confidence that we see today in the New Orleans native. “I never looked like a singer until now. It’s not even that. It’s just singers never look like me.” Well from the looks of this mahogany humble giant - he could get anyone to sing the blues over and over. #ESSENCE #essencefest
