So I didn’t tell Kaila that she was my first import model crush…yup, can’t deny it…I remember Import Tuner!!! It was this pic that made me a fan…and now I got to do a Bastardly Interview with her!!! Sorry folks, but the modeling has taken a backseat to the launch of her true passion of singing. Be sure to check out KailaPop.com and take a listen at some of hot tracks….and you can’t forget about the original KailaYu.com for even more heat!

When did you first realize, “Damn, I’m really hot…and I can sing!”

I never really thought I was hot honestly…but I always dreamed of being a model when I was in high school, and singing has always been my passion, couldnt live without listening to music constantly!

What is it about modeling that makes it worth your time? The sexy outfits? The sweet locations? Seeing your face across media? The adoring (non-stalkerish) fans?

Modeling itself is DULL, but getting the pictures back definitely makes it worth my time. Getting a magazine cover is always an amazing experience and I love the chance to travel and love to have the opportunity to meet new people!

With the modeling, touring, performances, and the websites does it leave any time for you to hold down a boyfriend?

I’ve had a boyfriend most of the time and as long as you manage your time and have your priorities straight, theres always time for everything you need and want out of life! So….the answer is yes

In regards to your music career I imagine you get your inspiration from somewhere. Do you have a certain vocalist/performer you use as a role model?

I love Mariah Carey’s voice and Madonna’s career path.

How would you best describe the style of your music? Who are some producers and artists that you’d love to work with in the future?

I would say that my voice is similiar to the singers of 3LW and the style of music that I am recording now (and releasing in about a month) is very club, a mix of a bit of Ciara and I’m not sure what else hehe, we are trying to make it sound different from whats on the radio right now.

As you are in a very competitive publicity industry, have you ever witnessed (or been involved) in backstage cat fights/sabotage amongst the models? No need to be shy…we can leave out names!!!!

Nothing that dramatic unfortunately (although I would love to watch a model catfight) but there are definitely models that don’t get along, and one model in particular who was extremely catty and would stab people in the back. Then she would act all innocent when she would see you. In the end, most of the girls saw through her act and shes made a lot of enemies.
