CEO/FOUNDER MAXI WADE AGENCY WINDI WASHINGTON
Windi Washington a Los Angeles, California native originally started her film & television career as an aspiring actress in her late-teens. Overtime, she gained entertainment experience and discovered that she also had a niche to work behind the scenes becoming known as a visionary for her creative marketing ability to push any project to the next level.
Windi developed an eye for talent and a taste for initiating cross-relationships between the entertainment industry and corporate sector. She has worked for reputable entertainment companies such as Paramount Pictures, Twentieth Century Fox Film, Creative Artist Agency, Vanity Fair Magazine and American Express Brokerage. She earned film & television credits for “Salmonberries” (1991) as a production auditor and booked featured roles in Live Shot (1995), Weird Science (1995), In the House (1995), Money Train (1995) and Up Close & Personal (1996).

Relocating to Atlanta, Georgia in 2002 ironically a year later after the tragedy, she incorporated Maxi Wade Agency in October 2002 and held an audition to locate the best 30 out of 300 models to represent the agency’s brand. Windi quoted that, “Maxi Wade Agency will be very selective about the talent we represent. Having a small roaster of talent & models will enable me to give them individualized attention to manage and develop their careers. My ultimate goal is to push them to national markets for greater exposure.” This was the beginning of a new era for marking MWA as the first African-American owned agency to partner with Model Network, Inc. located in New York City.
Maxi Wade Agency’s talent & models were known nationally in recognized music videos, events hosted by major names such as Chris Webber, Shaquille O’Neal, Lloyd Boston, Ford Motor Company, Bronner Bros., AmericasMart Atlanta, Vanguarde Media, Maybelline and Fuctis Garnier. Within months they were featured in advertisements and national magazines such as Bank of America, Upscale, Vibe, Source and XXL just to name a few.

After completing her education and repositioning herself into the entertainment industry, she relocated home to Los Angeles in 2008 to advance her career in film & television. She continues to maintain her professional relationships in Atlanta, Georgia and ambitious as ever to create new goals and experiences in Los Angeles.

RADIO ONE PHILADELPHIA RADIO PERSONALITY, LADY B
Lady B is Philadelphia Radio’s original Hip-Hop pioneer and one of the original architects of this thing we call rap music.
A Legend is born. Starting out in hip hop fresh out of high school, hanging out at Kim Graves (Philly’s top night club at the time) she befriended the late great DJ, Lawrence Levan. She used to pick up the mic and mock Darryl Dawkins and Lloyd (World B.) Free and the other “toasters”, as rap was known at that time. Eventually she got better and better and was approached to do a record by legendary WDAS-FM jock, Dr. Perri Johnson.
So she went into the studio to record “To the Beat Yall”. That became the first rap record recorded by a female. This was a historic event. What most people don’t know is that due to the frugalness of the record company, she recorded the song in one take. She got some rhymes together and Lady B, her sister and legendary WDAS-FM radio personality, Mimi Brown put them on 3X5 cards and taped them up in the studio. She went into the booth, recited the rhyme once and the owner of the record company was like ”Okay that’s a take”.
After getting jerked at the label, she met Richard Cooper, a record promoter for Motown. He informed her that WHAT was looking for an intern. So she started to work there doing odd jobs and learning. She eventually convinced Mary Mason to let her spin some of the new records that she had accumulated (about a milk crate full) on the air. After bugging her, Ms Mason finally let her play some of the songs. The ratings shot through the roof and lady B was hired full time. After that Power 99fm outbid WDAS for her services and she started working full time as a DJ. Street Beat was born and the rest is history. Her show broke hip-hop artists such as: The Furious 5, The Treacherous 3, Public Enemy, Run-DMC, LL Cool J, Queen Latifah, EPMD, UTFO, Mc Lyte, Schoolly D, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, KRS-1, MC Breeze, 3XD, Heavy D, and many many more!
On her Radio show on 103.9 WPHI, she spotlighted local artists by interviewing them on her show and playing their music. Independent local records that pleased her ear would actually find themselves in rotation. She is now broadcasting on Philadelphia’s premiere R& B station WRNB 100.3fm. in Philly. Lady B received the prestigious Philly Urban Legend Award in 2002 as a pioneer in Rap Music, the World Renowned Entertainment,” Role Model of Excellence Award, two Lifetime Achievement Awards (including the Douglass “Jocko” Henderson award) and is also listed in VIBE magazine’s History of Hip-Hop as “maybe the most influential female in hip- hop radio history”
“If there was no Lady B, there would be no me”-Will Smith -August 2011

The First Lady of Hip-Hop Nation is a mix of guns and roses. You can find Radio Personality & DJ, Nina 9 holding it down on Sirius XM 44, and Dish Network 6044. When it comes to her radio show, Nina is known to be a straight shooter. She holds no punches and brings Hip-Hop to the world uncensored and raw.
Nina 9 is a native of the DC Metropolitan area but is now currently residing in Atlanta, Georgia. She has been in radio for twelve years and her career came as a surprise even to her. While in school for computer programming and working at a video game store, Nina was asked to be a guest on the former XM Radio show, “The Original Gamers”. She was and still is one of few women who really plays, understands and studies the world of video games. However, after becoming a regular on the show, she realized that she had been bitten by the radio bug. Armed with her experience and her love of hip-hop, Nina pursued her own radio segment on XM Radio. She started out on the XM satellite radio channel 66 RAW; after a few years she then decided to move up one channel to 67 The City.

She is the founder of sister group of the Core DJ’s—The Allegiance—which is a somewhat exclusive group of women across all aspects of the music and entertainment industry. And in her “spare time”, Nina is training to compete in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). She is an expert in Kenpo Karate, Tae Kwon Do and is currently training in Muay Thai to prepare for the challenge. But, don’t get it twisted! Nina 9 is still a femme fatal. Like most women, she has a serious shoe fetish for everything from sneakers to high heels.
Ok! But you still need to know what makes this woman qualified to be in the middle of the largest movement of our time. A music which has created a lifestyle that has taken over the world. An industry that some still may argue is dead or dying. Nina 9 earned her keep as a connoisseur of Hip-Hop. From the time she was 12 she was digging up underground mix tapes from various DJ’s and artists from AZ, Nas, 50 Cent, D-Block, Desert Storm, and many others. Her grind, love of the music, and lifestyle of Hip-Hop keeps her on top of her game.
Now, you can find Nina at various industry events like the Grammy Awards and NBA All-Star Weekend DJing and Hosting parties. Whatever you do, don’t turn you back or close your eyes because you just may miss Nina 9 as she shoots past you headed straight to the top of the industry.
