FUN FACT about... ME

I have been very fortunate and blessed to live out a dream. As many of you can already tell I am a huge fan of the 80s. Especially the music of that era. Well a good friend of mine name Lisa velez, most of you know her as LISA LISA suggested I record an album with some 80s artists. Since I am friends with many of them, I thought it would be a fun idea. But the question was, would it happen? I made a few phone calls, sent out a few texts and well. In 2010 I recorded songs with some of my favorite artists. Everyone from BOY GEORGE and SAMANTHA FOX to TIFFANY and NU SHOOZ. The album 'PRESTO: ELEMENT OF SURPRISE" is out now and includes a intro from SALT N PEPA s DJ SPINDERELLA. Oh, I also recorded a song with U.T.F.O's MIX MASTER ICE, song is called 'Talk Is Cheap'. Anyways, most if not all of the songs are on YouTube. The album itself is on iTunes and Amazon and the 'Physical' CD can be found at http://www.CDBaby.com/BylliCrayone7

I also told TAYLOR DAYNE how much I loved her song called 'Prove Your Love', well, I ended up doing a cover of it. Also on the album. Speaking of covers, a few years ago (2008), I did a cover of CYNDI LAUPER's song 'CHANGE OF HEART". Both Cyndi and the original song writer Essra Mohawk loved it! That song is also on iTunes on my album called 'NOT A TYPO'.

Making music is nothing new to me. I started in 1991. My first song I recorded was called 'GIRL HANG IT UP!" I recorded it while I was in Miami. Its a Frestyle Dance track. And I recently came out with a CD Called 'BEST OF 1991-2001'. It has 12 of my best songs from my 20 years in the music business. That album is only available on CD and only available through me directly or at Discogs.com

Well, there ya have it. me in a nut shell smile
