Nominated "Best New Recording Artist" for 2005 at the Winter Music Conference's International Music Awards 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, New York Pride and Sacramento Pride Weekends. Boston's 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 is featured on numerous music compilations distributed worldwide. She earned a prestigious nomination for "Best Music Video" at the 2006 Hollywood Film Festival, and took home the award for "Best Music Video" at the 2006 California Independent Film Festival for her fourth single "Take a Good Look" from her debut album of the same name.
Now Alyson is ready to give back! While her 4th single "Take a Good Look" continues to spin on radio nationally and internationally, the clubland siren continues to break new ground with her original pop/dancehall track "FOREVER" offered as a FREE DOWNLOAD via her website to thank fans and DJs who have continuously supported her.
She joined forces with dancehall reggae master ZEB to deliver a new version of her original pop/reggae track "Forever" from her debut album that combines Alyson's smooth, sultry R&B vocals with Zeb's raucous, boisterous dancehall style. Zeb has enjoyed a series of hit original songs including the unbelievably hip and infectuous "Pet the cat" and "Supafly Sunday" which have 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's reggae band "Detour Posse" has toured around the world with such artists as Sean Paul and Barrington Levy, playing for crowds of 20,000 or more at Bob Marley Day, Reggae on the River, Jamaica's Sunsplash and many others.
