Flo Rida

By Souleo w/assistance from Melissa Santaella. Keri Hilson. The Dream. Sean Garrett. The list is long with behind-the-scenes hitmakers turned solo artists and now you can add to that list, Wynter Gordon. After writing songs for artists such as Mary J. Bilge and Jennifer Lopez and a guest feature on Flo Rida's hit, "Sugar," Wynter is ready to prove that she is hot as ice. She's already secured a dance floor hit with "Dirty Talk," as she puts the finishing touches on her forthcoming debut album. JimmyJazz.com got down and dirty with the rising star as she talked what it takes to show her naughty side, dating older men, and learning that patience is the key to success.

She's not afraid to get dirty behind closed doors:

If I had a boo and we were really close and he put a ring on it, then yes I would talk very dirty. It would be my only job. I'm like a feline but the only one person who gets to see that is when they put a ring on it.

Her lyrics often come from her challenging life experiences:

Not having a dad around put me in a situation where I was dating older dudes at a really young age and that taught me a lot of lessons. It gave me a lot of songs and a lot of things to write about because I made my mistakes early on. Plus my family didn't have a lot of money and things like that. So it let me use my imagination more. That made me the crazy weird person I am today.

She's been around the world:

I've traveled around the world since I got signed and met a lot of new people. I've been to Egypt, Israel, London, Sweden, Beirut and Lebanon. The guys are really handsome in Lebanon but my favorite one had to be Beirut. It's like Miami but every single guy is hot.

She's learned to wait her turn:

It can be frustrating when you know that you're talented, you're working all day and writing songs. It's like you want somebody to pay attention and it can take a long time. Then you see other people coming out before you and it's really frustrating. But if you're resilient as I am you get through it.

Flo Rida has a lot to be proud of this past year. His hit single "Low," was recently named the top-selling digital song of the decade with over 5.2 million digital downloads sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. In addition he is nominated for two Grammy's this year, a People's Choice Award and named one of the sexiest men alive by People Magazine. Not bad for a man that used to work in a Las Vegas casino digging through trash for silverware and making less than minimum wage. While looking back on all his recent success Flo Rida told JimmyJazz.com that he is most proud of his ability to survive the negativity of his upbringing.

"I grew up in a single parent home and around a neighborhood with a lot of drug dealing, killing and everything. My mom, she always instilled in me to keep the faith, dream big, put God first and the sky is the limit. So I always make sure I give towards more positive things versus negativity," he said.

Flo Rida also reflected on the important value of appreciating his success. It's a value he learned from his trip to Africa. Even though the trip was in 2008 it has left an indelible impression on him as it was also the inspiration behind the title of his album, R.O.O.T.S. an acronym for "Route of Overcoming the Struggle."

"I mean I always been appreciative for the fact that I've grow up with less fortune, but over there is even worse. They don't even got vehicles and most people walk like twenty or thirty miles with a smile on their face. So that like humbled me even more and taught me to really not take life for granted," he said.

Flo Rida certainly seems to be taking nothing for granted as he is already working on his third album to be released Spring 2010. While the accolades and money certainly keeps him going he revealed that it's the impact his music has that also keeps him on top of his game.

"I mean the fact that I could put smiles on people internationally and at the same time do something I love enjoy and have a passion for means a lot," he said.
