Artist description:
Combine one part Ella Fitzgerald with one part Mae West, throw in a wealth of current culture and you have CB. From acting to activism, CB delivers a prominant and punchy culture cocktail that goes down like only the sweetest libations can.
The bio blurb:
Cynthia "c." Basinet is a rarity; combining acting prowess, natural beauty and the voice of an angel. Her speakeasy, smoldering styling is at once modern and fresh while recalling Hollywood's Golden Era.
After five more years of international modeling successes in Paris (where she learned to speak fluent French), London and Milan, she returned to Los Angeles. Later, after appearing in music videos for the likes of Roy Orbison and the Babys, she used her talent array to bridge into acting appearing in movies, TV shows and national commercials.
Always a classically trained musician, since childhood (when she first learned to play the flute, sax and sing) and an astute businesswoman, Basinet established an entirely new channel of distribution for her music using the Internet to bypass the usual Hollywood and recording industry path to bring her releases directly to listeners around the World. With worldwide radio play and millions of downloads (however, often credited to Marilyn Monroe, who never recorded the song) she has created an entertainment phenomenon with her rendition of "SANTA BABY" (also in the film, "PARTY MONSTER").
She continues recording and acting while using her music to raise awareness for many, including a trip in May/June of '01 to refugee camps in the Western Sahara. Also a single mom, she currently resides in Los Angeles, CA.
The CDs, "FOR YOU WITH LOVE" and "THE COLLECTION" are available thru Amazon.com and digital distribution.
Her latest project has her teaming with Irish electronica artist, O'halloran (www.boygeniusrecords.com) on "YELLOW TAXI" available on his CD, "SO MUCH MORE".
