GOOD LOOK” NOMINATED "BEST MUSIC VIDEO"
FOR THE 2006 HOLLYWOOD AWARDS &
THE 2006 SLATE AWARDS

OF THE HOLLYWOOD FILM FESTIVAL & CALIFORNIA INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL
Los Angeles, CA - Since hopping onto the music scene
last year, pop singer/songwriter ALYSON has enjoyed a string of
consecutive singles from her debut album cracking the Billboard Dance
Chart's Top 10 - Three to be exact!
From
"Feel You", "What're You Gonna
Do" and "Nothin More to Say", Alyson's
infectious sound and catchy hooks have single-handedly conquered dance floors
across the U.S. and are about to debut on the big screen -- her 3rd single
"Nothin More To Say" is featured in the
motion picture "National Lampoon's Dorm Daze 2" released
worldwide this month on DVD. And now her
fourth single, the title track from her debut album "Take A Good
Look", has just cracked the Billboard Top 15 and hit # 1 on
club charts across the country.
The
music video for “Take A Good Look” just hit #2 on bpm:tv’s
Hot 20 Chart in Canada. It is, as well, nominated
"Best Music Video" for the 2006 Hollywood Awards,
the 2006 Slate Awards, and is an official
selection of the 2006 Hollywood Film Festival and the 2006
California Independent Film Festival.
These events all take place October
18 – 28th.
Now
Alyson is ready to give back! While Alyson's 4th single "Take
a Good Look" continues to spin on radio nationally and internationally
(currently #47 on the International Top 100 Rhythmic Airplay Chart at Beyondradio.com),
a 5th song titled "Forever" (from her debut album) will soon
be available on her website as a FREE download to thank DJs and fans who
have supported her!
She is joining forces with dancehall reggae master ZEB to deliver a new
version of this original pop reggae track that combines Alyson's smooth, sultry
R&B vocals with Zeb's raucous,
boisterous dancehall style. Zeb has
enjoyed a series of hit songs with his band Detour Posse and Zeb's unbelievably hip and infectuous
"Pet the cat" and "Supafly
Sunday". Zeb's music has already been
heard on MTV's hit show
"Laguna Beach" and on a variety of radio stations across the U.S.
including L.A.'s 'World Famous' KROQ and 100.3 The Beat. An expert
drummer, Zeb has backed up artists such as Sean Paul and
Barrington Levy, touring around the world and playing for crowds of 20,000 or
more at Bob Marley Day, Reggae on the
River, Jamaica's Sunsplash and many others.
Alyson
and Zeb shot the music video for "Forever" on HD in Los
Angeles in late September with renowned LA choreographer Shaun T who's recent
work includes collabs with Mariah
Carey, Deborah Cox and more. The "Forever" music
video and remix package, featuring exclusive club mixes by world-renowned
producers L.E.X., JY & Zeb, Allen
Jeffrey and Jason Randolph, will be released in November.
Nominated "Best New Recording Artist" for 2005 at the Winter
Music Conference in Miami, Alyson generated enough excitement over the
last year that she was named a "Top 20 Artist of 2005" by Billboard
Magazine.
She's performed at numerous high-profile events, headlining this year's
Boston Pride and New York Pride Weekends. Bay Windows Magazine
declared in its Pride Guide "Alyson
is one of the biggest draws to this year's Pride Week".
Alyson shared the stage with '80s icons Debbie Gibson and Tiffany at
the Los Angeles Gay Pride concert in 2005, and again when she headlined
the 2006 Sacramento Rainbow Festival.
She collaborated with Grammy Award-winning DJ/Producer Hex Hector
and world-renowned DJ/Producers Ralphi Rosario and
Eric Kupper, and attached her name to numerous music
compilations distributed worldwide.
Alyson is back in the studio writing and recording her sophomore album
set for release in mid-2007, and is also on tour across the U.S. with recent
shows in Los Angeles, Boston, San Diego, New York City and Sacramento. For more dates, info and to watch her
