Rhode Island Pop Artist Returns to Her Home State
Alyson is coming home this summer with a trio of exclusive Live shows in conjunction with the 2007 Rhode Island Pride Weekend. This will be the first time Alyson gets to perform live in Rhode Island where her parents reside. In addition to being a headliner at Rhode Island Pride, she is also performing in the Rhode Island Pride Parade &will then follow with another show at "Mirabar" later that night.
June 2007 will be most certainly be the Summer of Alyson as the talented artist
will be bringing once again sassiness, sexiness, and high energy to Pride weekends
across the nation with exclusive live performances of her infectious billboard
chart-topping grooves that have all undeniably become club anthems and allowed
her to build a strong fan base as well as name recognition within the gay/lesbian
community.
Alyson is a singer/songwriter who stands alone in today's pop music world -- she
is the only truly independent pop artist to score 4 consecutive Top 5 national
hit singles in the U.S. from a debut album. Beyond the breakthrough status, this
young performer achieved what is nearly impossible for an independent pop artist -
all 4 of her singles from her self-penned debut album "Take A Good Look" hit the
Top 5 on the prestigious DJ Times Magazine National Top 40 Dance/Crossover Chart
and the Top 10 on the Billboard Dance Chart over the past year and a half. What
makes this chart success even more remarkable is that Alyson released the album
herself on her own label, "PM Media".
This chart success led Billboard Magazine to name Alyson a "Billboard Top 20
Artist of 2005" and led to her nomination as "Best New Artist" at the 2005
International Dance Music Awards at the Winter Music Conference. Alyson's music
has also successfully crossed into multiple radio formats, receiving airplay of
all 4 of her singles from her debut album on 100 radio stations worldwide spanning
Top 40, Urban, Dance and AC formats, and has reached #1 on both Urban and Dance
Club Charts. In addition to chart and radio success of her 4 singles, Alyson's
music video for her 4th single "Take A Good Look" just earned the grand prize for
"Best Music Video" at the 2006 California Independent Film Festival, received a
nomination for "Best Music Video" at the high-profile 2006 Hollywood Film Festival.
She has turned herself into one of those perfect case studies of successful internet
marketing, utilizing her website and myspace account as a platform to upload songs
and videos, announce shows, promote albums and intereact with fans. She has
ultimately broken through the traditional barriers in music industry proving
that a successful music career is a 'clickable' business!
She continues to break new ground with the release of her 5th single "FOREVER"
(and the music video) offered as a FREE DOWNLOAD via her website (www.alysonmusic.com) -
her way to thank her fans. Alyson's new single "Forever" was just released to club
DJs last week, and it is already the # 1 Breakout on this week's Billboard Dance Chart.
Alyson is scheduled to headline a series of Pride weekend celebrations:
