The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) is a national labor union representing over 70000 performers
He is one of the true diverse individuals up and coming in the entertainment industry. His participation involves more than just modeling but areas like acting, music (hip-hop/ developing vocal artist), aviation (student pilot), culinary (artist), graphic illustrator, and entrepreneurship. His passion runs deep into all facets of his entities and personas.
His story begins in the Bricks (Brick City), known as Newark, New Jersey. He started out in Arts High as a drama major but his intentions were initially focused on music(vocal). He soon transferred next door to St. Benedicts Prep. where he gained the experience in performing in musical plays worthy of broadway. His first play "A FUNNY THING HAPPEN ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM!" gave him his first taste of what real stage performing is about playing the role of Domina.
Naim at the age of 18 migrated to the Big Apple where he continued to pursue music but by chance again was induced into the acting arena. Through an opportunity from a friend, Naim's first endeavor landed him on the Iyanla Show as a panel guest while at the time recording an album(End of da Beginnin!) with his group Infinite Disciples (I.D.).
While recording the album, his group performed all throughout NY. The album led to contracts w/ seSac. During this time he than began to develop himself as a model. His accidental discovery of his ability to transform in front of the lens soon produced a model worth using for nearly any project. His determination to be the best model led to some awesome experiences like being casted in a production and landing the front cover of a NY major news paper as well as a major feature in the sound bite of that production, yet not forgetting his recent casting for Blue Bloods in a still shoot.
As much as this man does this biography can go on forever. He is a very interesting and charismatic individual with a story to tell. He has been through trials & tribulations. He has fought the good battle and still stands tall. He appreciates those who are with him in his quest to greatness. He hopes through his journey he can inspire those to recognize and pursue the greatness in themselves.
He attributes all that he has learned and gained from to those who helped him on his way (Mrs. Long - Arts High, Ms. Flenn - St. Benedicts Prep., Shellin Lubin - vocal coach/instructor & many more..). His path will soon include many others who will in some way assist him and he acknowledges and thanks (Lee Boria) them too.
Naim is destined for great success in everything he touches. His modeling career is souring along with his acting, music, and entrepreneurial endeavors. He continues to be proactive in the avenues his professional journey is taking. His giant steps are profound and are being discovered by other great performers along with establishing a fast moving awareness to industry powerhouses of his amazing skill that lies in his craft. Naim's pursuit will land him big ad campaigns, editorial work, and big designer runway extravaganzas.. that are challenging yet evolving to say the least. He anticipates that these opportunities will stretch him as a very multi-talented model. It's suggested that you stay tuned to the major events of his career.
