Mikhail Owens has what it takes to get into the Hype Crew: he's young, hot, hype and has an awesome personality. This week Youthlink puts him to the test to see what else about him is worth a write-up.

Youthlink: What would you say is the best experience you've ever had?

Mikhail Owens: WOW! To me it would have to me my high-school graduation. Seeing that I am the only child for my mother, the look on her face warmed my heart to know that I made her proud and that she doesn't have to worry because I am on the right track to becoming a success in life. The feeling is just awesome.

What is the one electronic device that you cannot see yourself living without?

My BlackBerry ... isn't it obvious? It's more than a phone to me; it's my life. Everything I want and need is on it. It becomes addictive, but the service is great. I hate when the service is gone. It's like the world has come to an end ... lol.

How do you deal with disappointment?

MO: Well, basically, when I am disappointed I try my best not to let it get me down 'cause it can be quite depressing. I try to find someone to talk to about the problem and see what he/she thinks of the situation. If I am not satisfied, then I do something that I love to do to try and bring myself back up and get a sense of me.

When you are not promoting events you are busy ...

Socialising with my friends and even then I am still promoting the Youth View Awards (YVAs). That's what I do at school every day; chill with my friends and promote the YVAs.
