Hello there..... my name is Krystle Coleman and I am a " Detroiter" at heart, went to college in Miami, moved to Atlanta for two years only to return back to my second homeland Miami, to further persue my career as a entertainment publicist!
I am currently 23, and my truest to form national holiday is "November 2,1985! Thats right the month of autom leaves, and a slew of good food and FAKE/JEALOUS family members on one given day and a few days after free candy is distributed around the world if you say three little words...Trick or Treat.
I consider myself to be intertwinned with all great things and anything moving in the up direction! I am graduate of Florida Memorial University with a BA in Public Relations and Minor in Journalism. I graduated with honors ( shameless plug) and I like to think I got an early start in life, due to the fact I have been interning since I was 18! From Urban Magazines to writing my own music reviews and interviewing some of todays and yesterdays brightest stars! Following my path in journalism was a my only dream...not to mention the only craft and skill i acquired in my lifetime......HOWEVER !! my life made a sudden change my sohmore year of college, i had the pleasure to do summer internship with one of the most "delicious" publicist in the GAME! Jana Fleishman , better known as the master mind behind Jay -Z, Method Man, RHianna, Luda, and so many more! She is hotter than fish grease! ( I OWE MY LIFE TO HER, weither she knows it or not!!
Anyway, during that internship, I learned so many valuable, essential things in the game of what we know as ( Publicity) although my daily task included answering phones, copying media clips for artist Press Kits, picking up and dropping off important envelopes..at magazine editorial offices...and staring at the wall in the copy machine room, which had become my second home...I truely learned the essence of a publicist, what a LOT of people dont understand is that to be a publicist you have to have a certain type of "personality" it cant be cultivated it cant be copied, only birthed and savored by all!
Although the publicist at Def Jam Said the bare minimum to the ( meek, funny looking interns) during that summer, I studied everone, who's office was on the publicity floor!!!
I studied them from what they wore, to the salads they picked over for lunch while on "conference calls" They all had this "thing" about them a presence that only belongs in a cirlce of its own!
They took , short breaks if any, lived for coffee, and scanned 100 page magazines in less than 10 seconds to find clips of there clients!! but most imporatantly they had fight in them everyday , the FIGHT TO represent someone and get them major magazine or tv looks...the deliverence that only someone gifted could be graces with! after nine weeks of stalking everyone in the pr department, I left NY, with not only an addiction for arguing down editors to get my clients placed..somewhere anywhere...but with " a knowing in my heart, that although all i ever knew was writing and delaying my feelings on paper...I knew that a JUST a journalist would do me no GOOD...it was that fab world of PUBLIC RELATIONS I had to have, needless to say I immediately chaned my major when I returned to school the next semester, and became a walking spoonge to everything that even looked like a media advisory or press release!
I no longer wanted to be the journalist that wrote those articles, I wanted to be the individual setting those interviews up...writing those awsome pitch letters...and lastly i wanted to be the person on the other end letting everyone know what they can and CANT SAY!!
Some people in life are good at fashion, law, medicine, hair....but me ...all i know is pr and thats all i care to know...i speak about public relations with passion and drive...i ofcourse dont know everything by far,....but i do know i am willing to know it all before...i lay to rest! Thats all i need in life is GOD, family, Sarah Jessica Parker and PR!
FAST FORWARD FAST FORWARD
Changed my major...started interning at Miami's own Label powerhouse Slip n Slide Records! this label opened so many doors for me and I love it so much for that!
In less than 5 years, I have overseen publicity for various superstar acts including, Trina, Rick Ross, Plies, Cassidy, Thomas Jones (NFL ) , Justin Miller ( NFL) Trick Daddy. I am a contributing publicist to various sports figures and their lifestyle brands and record labels including Carmelo Anthony’s Krossover Entertainment and Byrant Mckinnie’s “Swagga Entertainment"!
Check my resume or better yet google ME!...I am official as I wanna BE
Stick Around ENJOY....I am sure you all will be pleasured to MEET ME!! xoxo
