Name: Imani Thomas Birthday: 04/23/1995 Place of Origin: Houston,TX Whats Up! My names Imani aka Manii aka ManiiWave. I grew up in Houston Texas singing in churches all of my life. I come from a Cuban Father and Creole Mother. My grandmother and my aunt sang background for numerous artists such as Ella Fitzgerald , Kathy Taylor Brown, Lamar Campbell and many other gospel artists. I grew up in a music household and I knew at a young age that my face was made to be seen and my voice was meant to be heard. I would say my influences would come from Missy Elliot, Remy Ma, and Erykah Badu. I would call myself the NewAge Badu because I feel I embody her vibes into my music because its real and genuine something thats not seen really anymore in HipHop.
I believe the Fashion Hero series is one much needed in society today. With everyone becoming a “influencer”, Fashion Hero expands the perspectives of what Fashion is considered.
I believe I would be a great role model in the sense of the best students end up as teachers. I have been through a lot in life and I know others have as well, let niche in life is to spread positive vibes and love so that there won’t be any need for filters or for technological “improvements” to make a person beautiful. I am a great people person and I believe it is due to my own insecurities and obstacles I faced growing up.
