Los Angeles, CA, July 18, 2006 – Hip-Hop/R&B sensations Ak’Sent and Cherish will check into Habbo, one of the world’s largest and hottest on-line destinations for teenagers. Ak’Sent will be on hand to chat (PRWEB) July 19, 2006 -- about her single “Zingy” and her forthcoming album "International". Cherish will chat about their infectious single “Do It To It” from their soon-to-be released album “Unappreciated.”
Using their specially created Habbo characters, Ak’Sent will check into Habbo on Thursday, July 20th at 7 PM EST, followed by Cherish at 8 PM EST. During the visit, the artists will hang out with fans on the Teen People Terrace and answer questions about their music, tour, and new CDs. The interview will be broadcasted over Habbo’s exclusive Internet Radio Stream, Bobba Music hosted by Jackie the DJ (www.bobbamusic.com).
About Ak’Sent
Ak’Sent is not your ordinary newcomer. For one thing, this fresh-faced MC is a she. But as anyone who gets to know Ak'Sent soon discovers, there's much more to this unassumingly petite girl than meets the eye. The half-African-American, half-Latina Ak'Sent was given room to grow and experiment in the studio, both vocally and musically. "I told myself, I'm not going to sound like everybody else," she says. "I'm not just another female rapper. I want to set a tone."
About Cherish
Hailing from Atlanta, the R&B group Cherish is composed of four sisters (Twins Felisha & Fallon 18, Neosha 21, Farrah 22). Each member of Cherish brings her own flavor to the group, resulting in a knock-out musical presentation that ranges from sassy to sensuous to crunk, resulting in Unappreciated, their first album available everywhere on Tuesday, August 15th for Sho Nuff/Capitol. Cherish comes out the gate fresh and sassy with a sexy street sizzler that is a sure bet for the clubs and the airwaves. Catch Cherish this summer on the nationwide Chris Brown/Ne-Yo Up Close and Personal Tour.
