We are not just ecstatic because of his contributions to the automobile industry but to society. His baronial blueprints have literally placed a chokehold on the all too familiar and raised eyebrows, showcasing his innate ability to challenge humanity with vicious velocity. So, we salute Mr. Shelby for keeping us enthralled as both a racecar driver and a cultural craftsman. And, what better issue to present this in besides this year’s Art/Entertainment motif! This 300 plus page depository is a hodge-podge of skill, recreation, exhibition and pure pensive pleasure. - VAUGHN LOWERY, President of 360 Special Thanks to all of our brand partners and staff members for all their hard work and efforts.

Originally from Jackson Heights, New York, at the age of nine, her family uprooted and moved to Dominican Republic - a defining moment of her youth. Exposure to the country’s vibrant culture, led her to pursue a career in ballet. After spending seven years in DR, her family returned to NYC. Having experienced extreme culture shock, the fifteen year old reacclimated to New York through her interests in the performing arts. During high school, she became a lighting technician for the New York Youth Theater Group and continued her pursuits at FACES Maimonides Theater Network for Teens. Inspired by her family, her biggest supporters; interest in the performing arts flourished. 22 360 MAGAZINE However, she knew she wanted to find her niche on the business side of the entertainment industry. She continued her education, earning an Associates degree from the Borough of Manhattan Community College and her Bachelor of Science in Business from Long Island University. Although young, Cisely proved to be a quick study with a keen eye for talent and interesting projects; ultimately impressing all who crossed her path. In 2002, she began her role as a Talent Manager for 4 years where she helped many new artists, while also spearheading her sister Zoe Saldana’s early movie career. Inspired by life experience, her ascendancy led to a small independent film, La Maldicion del Padre Cardona; picked up by HBO. In order to produce film/TV projects, Cisely co-founded Cinestar Pictures, LLC in May of 2006; focusing on urban genres. Cisely has found a true calling and passion for production with her roles as both Associate Producer for the film, A Kiss of Chaos and Executive Producer for the reality series, Celebrity Hero. Cisely ushered in 2011 with the launch of Saldana Productions at Sundance, while receiving the Levi Strauss Producer to Watch award. She has Director/ Producer credit alongside her sister and actress Zoe Saldana on Vin Diesel’s The Ropes. Cisely is undoubtedly a producer to watch. 360 MAGAZINE 23 Dress: Eduardo De Las Casas Earrings: Love by Monroe Bracelets: Love by Monroe Dressed to Kill Photographer: Tim Coburn Fashion Stylist + Art Director: Apuje Kalu Model: Bruna O. - MC2 Miami Hairstylist: James Cornwell Make-Up Artist: Gina Robinson 24 360 MAGAZINE Dress: Jacinta Ligon Earrings: Ankora Bracelets: Ankora 360 MAGAZINE 25 Red Bull BC One North American North America’s top b-boys will face-off, during the Red Bull BC One North American qualifier, at the Aragon Entertainment Center this summer in Chicago, Illinois. Throughout four rounds of 1-on-1 battles, the competition will feature b-boys that have made their way to the highest platform of breakdancing - Red Bull BC One. Sixteen dancers will fight for a spot to represent North America in the World Finals later this year in Rio. B-boys will display their styles reflecting their regional backgrounds. With West Coast power moves meeting the freezing styles of the East, fans of this complex dance style will not be disappointed. At the end, only one of the 16 competitors will emerge with the right to call himself the “Best B-Boy in North America.” In addition to bragging rights, the victor will earn the chance to represent North America at the Red Bull BC One World Finals in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this December. 26 360 MAGAZINE B-boy Ronnie, the Las Vegas breaker who won the 2007 Red Bull BC One Finals in South Africa, knows something about the importance of the United States qualifiers. He will join b-boys Float and Machine to judge the Chicago event. Looking ahead, Ronnie said, “To win something this big in America will mean so much. All the b-boys are training for this like it’s the Red Bull BC One Finals. Whoever wins this, it’s going to be a big deal.” As one of the four elements of hip-hop (along with MCing, DJing and graffiti) b-boying has thrived in Chicago, a city with undisputed hip-hop cred. The ballroom inside of the Aragon Entertainment Center is one of the Windy City’s most storied cultural landmarks and a legendary dance venue, will serve as the arena for a day of battles that will help shape the future of b-boying. Skeme Richards, who serves as the DJ for the legendary Rock Steady Crew, will provide music for the night; and hosting the event is RAKAA, representing the Dilated Peoples, the Rock Steady Crew and UZN. The 16 b-boy competitors include the following: Ken Fury (New York City), Domkey (Philadelphia), Ronnie Ruen (Los Angeles), Villn (Sacramento), Tata (Brooklyn), Evol (Chicago), Nasty Nate (Houston), Fléau (Canada), Mijo (Milwaukee), MN Joe (St. Paul), Bebo(Brockton), Prada G (Los Angeles), Mig 187 (Las Vegas), Omen (Homestead), Stripes (Tampa), and Kid Cruz (Denver). 360 MAGAZINE 27 28 360 MAGAZINE Darryl Stephens After years of theater in Los Angeles and San Francisco, Darryl Stephens played Noah on the Logo Network’s groundbreaking series Noah’s Arc and starred in feature films Boy Culture Culture, Another Gay Movie and Noah’s Arc: Jumping the Broom..

In fact, he was named Driver of the Year by Sports Illustrated for two consecutive years (1956 - 1957). Shelby’s creative mind led to numerous attempts at entreprenuership before his iconic rise to Automotive Legend. In 1941, Shelby enlisted straight into the United States Army Air Corps. He served as a flight instructor at Lackland Air Force Base, near San Antonio, during World War II. Upon his return in August 1945, he invested in several business ventures, one of which was a chicken farm. Two years into his chicken raising, they died from limberneck disease, bringing the business to an end. Three years later he drives his friend’s MG in his first amateur drag race. A few months following, he uses that same car for a competition set in Norma, Oklahoma, where he wins his first race. Not only was Shelby developing a championship 32 360 MAGAZINE career, unbeknownst to him, he was setting fashion statements as well. In August of 1953, Shelby ran a foot race in his bib-striped overalls. Realizing the positive attention he received, Shelby decided to stick with his newfound garb; quickly becoming a trademark image for his brand. Shelby won two races that catapulted his amateur racing to a professional automotive career. He became a driver for Cad-Allard, Aston Martin and Maserati teams. More specifically, with a 4.1-liter Mexiso Ferrari, Shelby won the Torey Pines competition of 1955. That win eventually led him to the European race circuit; where he won the 24 Hours of LeMans 1959 competition with his co-driver, Roy Salvadori. This resulted in Aston-Martin’s acquirement of the World Manufacturing Championship. Victories continued throughout 1956 and 1957; leading him to the Sports Illustrated’s Driver of the Year. Upon winning his third USAC National Drivers Championship in 1960, his racing career came to a screeching halt. As the record shows, Shelby was not a standstill type of fellow. With outstanding visions and great drive, he decided to open Carroll Shelby Sports Cars in 1957. In February of 1962, he fabricated a 260 and four-speed automobile. With the cult-classic Shelby Cobras, Ford dominated the 1960s racing scene and inspired six decades of automobile construction and design. In fact, he collaborated on the 2013 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang; this beast is equipped with a V8 engine which outputs 650 horsepower, boasting to be the world’s most powerful in its class. 360 MAGAZINE 33 34 360 MAGAZINE The longest living heart transplant recipient in the world, Carroll Shelby, passed away this year at the age of 89. After his death, the Carroll Shelby Foundation was established to support children in need of acute coronary and kidney care. Although he is no longer with us, his contributions to both the automotive industry and society will live on with his legacy. 360 MAGAZINE 35 Haute Hipsters Photographer: Elton Anderson Fashion Stylist + Art Director: Apuje Kalu Models: Eva Kass (Elite Miami), Tatjana Maul & Michael Yi (Next Miami) Hairstylist: Cherie Combs – Ford Artists Make-Up Artist: Natasha Gross 36 360 MAGAZINE 360 MAGAZINE 37 Hat: Magid Top: Eva Danielle Pants: Eva Danielle 38 360 MAGAZINE Printed Paradise Photographer: Tim Coburn Fashion Stylist + Art Director: Apuje Kalu Model: Tyler Ocamop (Wilhelmina Models Miami) Hairstylist: James Cornwell Make-Up Artist: Gina Robinson 360 MAGAZINE 39 Success is Simple: A talk with Joe Stella Iman Dugal “You don’t count the stripes on a zebra, you enjoy them.” Let us take a moment to learn the vertebrae of Joe Moller’s success: seizing opportunity, consistent networking and hard work. Joe is not the President of Joe Moller Events, Executive Director of Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk, and occasional reality television participant (all before hitting the age of 40) because of sheer luck. Joe’s life is the classic, American, pulling himself up by his bootstraps, success story. As he pondered on his previous life experiences, it was concluded that many of us who were raised lesser privileged, seem to be motivated by possibilities the future offers; and thus, not only its opportunities for financial gain. He stated, “The importance of having wealth was not the primary goal as much as the importance of having opportunity,” a confession he shared during a high school speaking engagement. Joe was a beneficiary of philanthropy and social programs growing up and now it is his turn to give back. Naturally, he is no stranger to communal participation and outreach; in fact, he was named Philanthropist of Year by the Society of Young Philanthropists in 2007. 40 360 MAGAZINE For the first time, this past May, Art Walk launched an after school enrichment program which taps into the inner artist of urban youth. One of the missions of the program is to challenge the idea ingrained in young artists’ minds that they cannot earn a living from producing fine art. “You don’t count the stripes on a zebra, you enjoy them,” is what Joe explained during the interview concerning the topic on exhaustion. He is the type of busy that hardly has the time to get around to updating his headshots for a magazine feature. But, it is all for a good cause and more importantly, he truly enjoys the constructive energy he puts back into the world. One may only hope he finds a special someone to reciprocate that same love and passion. We might witness just that on September 2012 as he takes on the quest to find love on the hit show, “Millionaire Matchmaker.” Top: Jason Louis Studnicky Pants: Kenneth Cole Shoes: Imitation by Jerell Necklace: Viviane Guenoun Earrings: Love by Monroe Cuff: Love by Monroe Cuff: Imitation by Jerell 42 360 MAGAZINE Soak Up the Sun Photographer: Tim Coburn Fashion Stylist + Art Director: Apuje Kalu Model: Jessica Rafalowski (Next Models Miami) Hairstylist: James Cornwell Make-Up Artist: Gina Robinson 360 MAGAZINE 43 44 360 MAGAZINE Summer Daydreaming Photographer: Tim Coburn Fashion Stylist + Art Director: Apuje Kalu Model: Tyler Ocampo (Wilhelmina Models Miami) Hairstylist: James Cornwell Make-Up Artist: Gina Robinson Swimsuit: Keva by Keva J Sunglasses: Burberry 360 MAGAZINE 45 Steven Michael Quezada Veteran Comedian, Actor, Husband (to Cherise) and Father (of four), Steven Michael Quezada plays “Gomez” on the Emmy winning TV series, “Breaking Bad” on AMC, that is currently in its third season of filming.

Lenox Magee Before Swedish House Mafia head off into the sunset, the dance music trio plan on a long goodbye with a farewell album, Until Now, and one final tour - their last show was in Miami, where it all started for the trio, on March 15th. This all happens less than a year after selling out 20,000 seats at Madison Square Garden in nine minutes, Swedish House Mafia decided to call it quits. But, fans are still wondering what happened, why split? “Because we did this move, we hope to find ourselves in a situation where we do not know what we’re doing, which is sort of us trying to create some sort of chaos, mix shit up a bit for ourselves,” Sebastian Ingrosso told Rolling Stone Magazine. 360 MAGAZINE 53 Swedish House Mafia are Sebastian Ingrosso, 30, Steve Angello, 31, and Axel “Axwell” Hedfors, 36 — three DJs with solo careers who run their own labels, but have synergetically skyrocketed together. But, they weren’t always called Swedish House Mafia. The name “Swedish House Hegarty” was adopted initially, but the group then resorted to their current name after it first appeared on forums and was used to encapsulate the group of producers that were working together in the future. The group officially formed in late 2008. Angello and Ingrosso met as children in Stockholm; Axwell was not a member until multiple years later when they contacted him after a chance meeting. “But we’ve been through everything together. I can always lean on one of their shoulders and they can lean on mine. I can always trust their opinions. When I have a track, they tell me straight away what they think. With Swedish House Mafia, you’re with friends….,” Angello said. From Left to right: Axel “Axwell” Hedfors, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso. 54 360 MAGAZINE In 2010, Swedish House Mafia won the “Best Swedish Act” award at the MTV European Ballz awards 2010. In 2011, Swedish House Mafia released a new single, “Save the World,” featuring John Martin on vocals, which charted at #10 in the UK Chart, released in May 2011. On 23 September 2011, it was confirmed that the group would play at Madison Square Garden in New York City on 16 December 2011 and Milton Keynes Bowl on 14 July 2012. In January 2012, Swedish House Mafia won an EBBA Award at the European Border Breakers Awards. After exploding onto the scene in 2010, the Swedes followed up their huge genre-defining club track ‘One’ with the Worldwide platinum-selling single ‘Miami 2 Ibiza’ featuring Tinie Tempah. Both tracks appeared on their double gold-selling compilation album ‘Until One,’ which is still in the top 50 chart nearly two years after its release. The boys followed this with top 10 UK single ‘Save The World’ last Summer. 2012 so far has seen the release of their highest charting single to date - ‘Antidote’ - a collaboration with Pendulum’s Knife Party, a second bigger and better Masquerade Motel in Miami and the release of the incendiary ‘Greyhound’ (an all-Swedish collaboration with Absolut Vodka). In an recent interview with Rolling Stone, Ingrosso referred to the break-up as an experiment. He implied that their stratospheric rise, with its ensuing copycats, might have sped up their decision to depart. “Dance music is moving so fast, if somebody does a track with a successful sound, everybody does it the second day,” he says. “So you have to try and develop more and faster. That could be one thing that led to where we are today. Because we did this move, we hope to find ourselves in a situation where we do not know what we’re doing, which is sort of us trying to create some sort of chaos, mix s#!t up a bit for ourselves,” Ingrosso said. “It’s an experiment to ourselves.” The parting is an amicable one: The producers feel they’ve accomplished all they can together, and they’re going to get back to their own projects. As part of that experiment, the three members are giving themselves the liberty to work together in the future in different pairings. Ingrosso feels like dance music is moving so fast, and there are a plethora copycats out there stealing music. 360 MAGAZINE 55 “If somebody does a track with a successful sound, everybody does it the second day. So you have to try and develop more and faster and next,” Ingrosso says. “So that could be one thing that led to where we are today [calling it quits].” Angello has performed in every corner of the globe, headlined Coachella and Madison Square Garden and started SIZE Records, While it’s unknown as to what the other duo DJs will do separately, one thing certain: the trio will never stop making music. Their latest successful track, “Don’t You Worry Child,” the group’s latest single, has become its first Top 10 hit — and, frankly, it’s the band’s only true American crossover smash. “Don’t You Worry Child” plays like a gentle farewell message. All of the familiar elements are here: stabbing, syncopated synths, the patented house music drum build-up, the acoustic guitar interlude and, most important, the desperate message of reassurance and rejection of nihilism. The narrator confesses fear, remembers heartbreak and takes refuge in the music he loves and his father’s advice: “Heaven’s got a plan for you,” goes the chorus. John Martin, the voice of “Don’t You Worry Child,” has worked with the Swedish House Mafia before. The Stockholm singer-songwriter lent his voice to the Coldplay-like “Save the World,” a 2011 record that established the Swedish House Mafia as stateside stars. Save the World” has been described as a big, muscular, brotherly arm wrapped around everybody on the dance floor. “We’ve done things I never thought I’d do! I talk to my friends about those things, like being able to do Madison Square Garden, or going up on a headline slot at a festival against a band like Coldplay. We never thought we’d be doing that. All of a sudden you’re there in front of 60,000 people and everyone is going nuts to your music. We grew up loving what we do, and Swedish House Mafia was a special example of the idea that if you love something and you work hard enough, you’ll get there.” It seems that “Don’t You Worry Child” plays like a gentle farewell message. All of the familiar elements are here: patented house music drum buildup, melancholy, the acoustic guitar interlude. The narrator confesses fear, remembers heartbreak, takes refuge in the music he loves and his father’s advice. “Heaven’s got a plan for you,” goes the chorus. 56 360 MAGAZINE Here are Swedish House Mafia’s classic closing words: “We came, we raved, we loved,” Swedish House Mafia.

The reaction to the album so far has been incredible but I am excited for it to come out in the States and to be able to support it with a great tour.” “Tomahawk Technique” is the next step in Sean’s continual pop dominance, the next in a wave of classic albums that also includes the multi-platinum, Grammy-winning classic Dutty Rock and the platinum smash The Trinity.
