Tell us about how you were discovered.<\/strong><br \/>\nI wanted to be a footballer, but at the same time be a model, but in the end, I decided to just be a top model; it&#8217;s what I wanted to do anyway, so I&#8217;m happy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Most memorable modeling experience so far? <\/strong><br \/>\nIt was the opening and closing of the LOUIS VUITTON fashion show. It was a beautiful fashion show. And the H&#038;M X MUGLER campaign!<\/p>\n<p><strong>One song you have on repeat, and why?<\/strong><br \/>\nI have a song that I keep repeating in my mind. It&#8217;s also a song of mine called ME AND MY BROTHER FOR LIFE because it reminds me so much of my brothers. I have 5 brothers, we&#8217;re 6 with me. We are inseparable, and I made a song for us, and I listen to it every day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What other passions do you have aside from modeling?<\/strong><br \/>\nMaking songs and recording, being in the studio, and riding a bike because I also do acrobatics on a bicycle; I do jumps and swings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is something you&#8217;ve always wanted to do\/try?<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve always wanted to participate in a movie or do something with TV anyway because I&#8217;d really like to try to be an actor.<\/p>\n<p><strong> What&#8217;s one thing people may be surprised to find out about you?<\/strong><br \/>\nAs I said, I also make music, and I will soon put out new songs and music videos. I hope people will be surprised when they see it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What change would you like to see in the world?<\/strong><br \/>\nI would like us all to live in peace with no anger and no hatred towards another person because, after all, we are all the same; I would like the war to end everywhere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cheikh was photographed exclusively for MODELS.com by Gioconda and August, with styling by Alessio Surace.
