Martina Hail aka DJ MmcFlyy

ATL is home to many talented folks….Im talkin rappers, artists, photographers, dancers….we got it all.  Since fem-fATL is a female perspective on ATL, we gotta show love to the females in ATL who are doin the damn thing!  Females who are driven, talented, and passionate about their talents!  And with that said…I introduce to you my super talented homegirl… Martina aka DJ MMcFlyy!

Martina is no doubt what fem-fATL considers to be one of our city’s triple threats.  How is she a triple threat??? Well lemme break down each aspect for you:

#1 Dancer/Choreographer:

So lets do a little rewind in time – I met Martina back in ’06, while we were both attending GSU.  When I met her, she had just joined D.O.P. (Dancer’s on Point) which is GSU’s dance team.  She was new to the whole dance thing, and joined solely as a hobby.  The more and more she danced she realized that she was actually pretty good at it.  Now fast forward 4 years….Martina is now one of the most TALENTED dancers in ATL, she holds weekly classes at Gotta Dance Studio in ATL where she teaches her dance class “GoGo & Stilettos”. And did I mention that she is self trained??  This girl is TALENTED!!  She was even hand selected to dance on several episodes of “The Real Housewives of ATL”.  And although she is one of the BEST dancers in ATL, Martina still considers herself the black sheep of dancing, “I’ve only been dancing for 4 years now, I started when I was 20 and I feel like it was something I was meant to do because how I caught onto it was almost instant, I had never done choreography before but it worked out for me, and that’s why I love to teach because I feel like anybody can learn to dance, if I learned how to dance I feel like anybody can learn how to dance…” Martina credits fellow ATL choreographers Victor Jackson, CiCi Kelly, Steven Jones, and Quincy Lamar as being the main people who inspire her and her dancing.  Her wish is to go on tour dancing for Lady Gaga…I can see that happening soon!

#2 Female DJ :

DJ MMcFlyy

Im an avid supporter of Female Dj’s, DJ Rashida is one of my idols, so I find it ultra dope when a female can rule the turntables.  Since music is one Martina’s passions, she developed a love for crate digging and dj’ing.  She loves timeless music, and her favorite musicians include: Earth Wind & Fire, A Tribe Called Quest, The Police, Run DMC, & The Fugees…just to name a few.   When asked who she wishes that she couldv’e DJ’d for, her response was MJ…handsdown!

DJ MMcFlyy's setup

So how did she begin to DJ??  Well asides from her musical passion, she has only been dj’ing for 4 months…the really cute aspect is that her boyfriend Aric is a producer.  He showed her a couple moves on his Tech12′s, then she learned the basics in Miami at the Scratch Academy…and now Martina is making a name for herself on the ATL nightlife scene.  You can catch Martina aka DJ MMcFlyy dj’ing every Friday night at Halo, and dj’ing at events around ATL.  Thats not bad for a newbie!!

#3 On the Scene Fashionista :

fashionably spinnin

You will never catch Martina looking anything less than Flyy! Hence the nickname that was given to her.  In order to play the part you have to look the part.  Martina is a fashionista because she’s able to switch up the looks easily and effortlessly.  She goes from girly to tomboy, hip-hop to salsa, beauty shop to thrift shop, eclectic to eccentric.  Who else do you know that can DJ in stilettos?? lol.  Her favorite places to shop in ATL are lil 5, Poncey Highland, and a variety of boutiques and thrift shops.  You can catch her on the weekends looking ultra flyy at her fav ATL night life spot, Halo.

What I failed to mention…

Is that Futurista and I took one of Martina’s “GoGo & Stiletto’s” class, it was HILARIOUS!!  Seriously, I think its confirmed that we are completely uncoordinated BUT Martina liked our moves (we still think she was just being nice LOL).  Check out this video clip to see the dancing and her critique!

If you don’t know who Irving Hillman is….you might wanna get to know him….

That is, before he becomes extremely famous for his director and photography skills.

Irving is one of my homeboys, and he has an extreme talent when it comes to photography and videography.  Recently he left his hometown Marietta, for the big city of Los Angeles, and he is now pursuing his dreams.  So just to give a shoutout to my dude, check out the video he directed below, a freestyle moment featuring artist Baam Baam Bankston.
