Henceforth, putting her academics aside she began her journey to sacrifice her all for the reward of entertaining Others (without regret), worldwide.
    Miss Silawett brings to the world Her Unique Style of Pop/Dance/Rock (influenced by such celebrated artists, such as Madonna, Lady Gaga, Gwen Stefani and Rihanna).

While many interests were fleeting she was drawn to nature, exploration and had a tendency to make cardboard handbags for craft projects.
    After completing undergraduate studies in Business Management and Marketing at Drexel University in 2005, Stephanie entered the corporate world working for an IT consulting firm. Instantly stifled by the 9-5 grind Stephanie decided that an immediate re-evaluation of her life goals and expectations was in order.
    She relocated to Paris in January 2008 in discovery of the creative side of life and to complete post graduate studies in Fashion Design Management at IFM (Institut Français de la Mode). Impassioned and inspired by her experience in the French Fashion world and her rapid acquisition of the French language Stephanie decided to leave the IFM in 2009 to pursue the creation and development of MEin5D®.

MEin5D’s mission is to inspire self exploration and authentic expression of the individual.
    What is 5D, you may ask? The following 5 dimensional (5D) aspects of the human experience are examined for the creation of Style Guides and on a more individualized basis when designing custom collections.

  • Featured Artist of The Week Christian Rapper & Cancer Survivor J.O.T
    J.O.T. aka GRANDE GATO aka JAMES O. TERRY JR. wants to encourage and give both young and old people in the world hope, and let them know that with faith and perseverance the impossible can become possible (J.O.T. knows what he is talking about because he was able to complete a CD album immediately after his Cancer went into remission). J.O.T. started writing what GOD had done because he held on to his faith (J.O.T. praised GOD even when he thought he was going to die and believed that is why he was healed just as JOB in the bible was healed because JOB praised GOD too when he thought he was might die). This soon led J.O.T. to write his testimony in the form of song lyrics and put it to music (As he does with all of his trials and tribulations he has overcome through the power of the LORD).
    1993 was the year that J.O.T. turned his life over to Christ and decided he wanted that to reflect in his music. In 1996 J.O.T. officially started up his Christian based company, SOUL-FULL PRODUCTIONS (The reason he spelled the company name with a hyphen in the middle and the letter L twice at the end of the name was to let the world know that his "SOUL" was "FULL" because he displayed the WORD OF GOD through what he did.) With three different subsidiary branches to SOUL-FULL PRODUCTIONS (Clothing line, Literature, and Record label branch) J.O.T. always believed it was important not to get comfortable in the ministry and continue to grind and work hard for CHRIST. As the first artist to come out on his independent record label, J.O.T. RECORDS, J.O.T. put out seven CD albums, four CD singles, and four 12” vinyl records (entitled NORTH CAROLINA STREET HEAT Presents….volumes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). J.O.T. also has a music video, which was shot on film near the college university he attended. Today J.O.T. has been heard on major FM radio stations, SIRIUS satellite radio, and has appeared on major television news stations.
