Emee Calpito "The Publicist"




Emee Calpito. Emmy Calpito is our publicist. She is the newest member of our team, and she defies description. Emmy is like a Savant. She is surprisingly, no shockingly young to have accomplished what she has so far. When asked, I describe her as the publishing worlds version of 14-year-old tennis prodigy Teimour Radjabov. She is uncannily talented at something that takes some people years to hone. To prove my point, consider this fact. Emmy has worked for LA Reid, Russell Simmons and many others practically before she was even legally able to drink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I remember when I was in the Arkitects and we went with her to the 2005 BET Awards. We were standing nervously in line at the red carpet, hoping to slink past all of the camera crews as unobtrusively as possible and started to do so when suddenly out of no where, this 5" tall Filipino girl comes and stops the show!!! "Everyone pay attention!" She shouts."These guys are the Arkitects, they are going to be the next big thing, get your pics now" Your going to want to know them!!!!" Suddenly all lens sweep towards us and the most disconcerting pops and explosions of light ensue! Photographers are shouting questions and I was stupefied! Emee had single handedly turned our little carpet walk into a mini feeding frenzy! Im sure is wasnt until much later, in their dark rooms and photshops that the photographers asked them selves.."Why did we take pics of these two clowns?" Emee Calpito. Thats why.
