Eva Modika describes herself as an independent entertainment entrepreneur
Modika (24), known as the “queen of the north”, always liked the finer things in life. She was introduced to the party life by her elder sister, Michelle, a former Capricorn FM news reader.
Eva would tag along to parties at the station.
“From then I knew I wanted to live large,” she says.
Modika, who calls herself an “independent entertainment entrepreneur”, says being a club host is the biggest thing that has ever happened to her. She now earns about R60 000 a month in retainers and bookings.
Hiring a slay queen isn’t cheap, she says. After paying their hosting fee, clubs need to provide them with Champagne of their choice, such as Moët & Chandon, Armand de Brignac or Dom Pérignon, as well as five-star hotel accommodation afterwards.
Modika established a clothing business with the money she earned from hosting.
Her family has also been supportive, she says.
“I’m very passionate about my work and I take it very seriously. I make time for myself, family and friends, while creating value at work. I always advise my peers that it’s okay to party, but make something out of it. Be smart in all angles and be your own boss.”
