WILLY MONFRET super model & DJ

With his dreamy blue-green eyes Willy Monfret captured the hearts of thousands of women across the globe as the love interest of rapper Nicki Minaj in her ‘Right Through Me’ video.
Originally from France, he is the only child of a French mother and a father from the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe. Growing up, a lot of his childhood was spent playing basketball and soccer and he credits sports with teaching him some of the best life lessons. Some of his favorite childhood memories include regular Sunday break dancing with friends, where, according to Willy, his version of break dancing looked more like freestyle capoeira combined with some of Will Smith’s moves on the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Currently, Willy is signed to Red Model Management and also deejays. Before he was traveling the globe and headlining advertisements for notable brands including L’Oreal, Ralph Lauren, Pierre Cardin, and Diesel, Willy was an all-star athlete with a promising future as a professional track & field sportsman. A career-ending injury brought a sudden end to his dream and ultimately changed the course of his life. Now, as an international model, he lives his passions which include meeting new people and seeing new places, of which he counts Australia and Cape Town, South Africa as among his favorite.

In addition to sports, Willy is a fan of Japanese manga and anime. At the moment, he is single and says that his ideal woman would be down-to-earth and embody a natural essence. His career plans include venturing in to new forms of entertainment, with acting being at the top of his list. He’s taken it on as a personal challenge to do so in English, which is not his first language.

With over 12,000 fans on Facebook and more than 5,000 on Twitter, (which are both updated by him), Willy is enjoying connecting with the fans that have reached out to him online and at his many social events.

He currently lives and works in the US and is ready to take his career to the next level in 2011 and beyond.
