Rodiney Santiago dishes on modeling world!

Rodiney sat down with connex to dish on his modeling career and appreciation for his fans....


THE NEXT LEVEL I am just an easy going normal guy with great friends. I love to live life to its fullest, and stay true to who I am. I am from Brazil and now live in Miami Beach. I came to the USA to take my career to the next level, and what a great decision that has been. I am the kind of person that likes to work real hard, and then head to the beach.



AUTO SHOOT FIRST My friends in Brazil always told me I should be a model. I didn't really think anything of it until I someone came up to me and asked me if I was interested in modeling. The rest is history. My first shoot was for a auto company. I would like to say modeling came natural for me, but it did take some practice. I was a little stiff in the beginning.




OPEN MIND The modeling world can be glamorous. But, what I have found is that it is more of a place to meet very talented and interesting people. I have learned so much about clothes, photography and art that has really opened my mind.


DISLIKES Show business is really strange for me to see in the USA. It seems like the media focusses so much on many of the things I don't like about that business. To me these people are sometimes extremely talented, and I don't think that the media spends enough time talking about that part of it.








REACTING TO FANS I would start hugging all of them, and go with the flow. You know in Brazil we are used to big crowds and people getting excited, especially around Carnival in Rio. I think it is important to let the fans know that you are so appreciative of their support, and spending time with them shows them I am serious about that.

Xelle Takes Us on A Bronx Tale

       So this is the actual first time that you have formally sat down with us here at" UrbanInsider", we have had tons of conversations and work behind the scenes. In fact our history goes back all the way to 2018, I thought Xelle looked exactly like a young Michael Ealy, which is how he caught my attention. He had actually just got his big start in modeling with Vogue Magazine. However now people finally get to know the real you…    So let’s get right into it, who is Xel, where are you from, what drives you…. I'm from The South Bronx,  I grew up  between New York & Dominican Republic.

Spotlight On:The New It Girl Jessica Burciaga

She has it all from the girl next door appeal, to extreme sex appeal. I first took notice of her when I saw the Jamie Foxx ft Drake "Fall For Your Type" video and to be honest I had to take a sceond glance because I really thought that she was JLO. It wasnt until recently when I actually found out who this stunning beauty is who looks like she could be Jennifer Lopez's little sister. Jessica Burciaga (born April 11, 1983) is an American model . Her father is Mexican and her mother is French and Irish . She was selected to be Playboy's February 2009 Playmate of the Month .   I think we are just starting to see the beginning of the beautiful Jessica, and that she has alot more in store......

Miami Turns It Up Another Notch — IG Boy Baddies: Then & Now (ft. Cloutio B)

IG BOY BADDIES — like Marcello Alvarez, Rico Hundo, Reek.Ivan, Deven Hubbard, Renzo Dinero, Don Benjamin a Chicago native who we worked with as well and a legit ton of others. From 2019’s Model Peak to a 2025 feed that feels anything but the same. In 2025, only a few still hit at model level — Ethan Mouzon and ONE_RALPH. Where have all our quality male baddies gone? UrbanInsiderMag: You came up inside that wave—2019’s model-grade Boy-Baddie peak to today’s crowded feed. In 2025, only a few still truly hit: Ethan Mouzon and ONE_RALPH. How does that land with you? Cloutio: It tracks. I started when IG felt scarce and intentional. Now the volume is higher, but there are still guys who keep it special. Ethan and ONE_RALPH have the discipline and the eye—that’s the bar. UrbanInsiderMag: Where have all our quality male baddies gone? Cloutio: A lot of people are posting; fewer are building. Quality takes intention—light, training, taste, pacing. The look didn’t disappear; the commitment...
