SKYLAR GREY'S BIG BREAK

"Skylar Grey" the very sought after collaborator and hook singer for high profile hip hop acts is morphing into an artist in her own right. The singer formerly known as Holly Brook, Grey has made quite a name for herself popularized by hook for "Eminem" and "Rihanna’s" popular collaboration “Love The Way You Lie” and is currently working on an album. With one official studio album and three EPs under her original name, the 25-year old Grey isn’t exactly a newbie but her fortunes have certainly changed in the last year.

Grey released a solo album in 2006 called "Like Blood Like Honey" but lately has come to prominence thanks to a number of high-caliber songwriting gigs with A-list rap stars. Working with producer "Alex Da Kid", who has produced tracks for the likes of Nicki Minaj's Massive Attack and B.o.B.'s Airplanes, signed Grey to his Wonderland Music last year. Grey's performance at the Grammys turned out perfect. Grey is working on her new album, with Alex Da Kid's production putting her well on her way to attaining similar breakthrough success.

Skylar’s popularity and her opportunity began last year when she was featured on "P. Diddy’s" Diddy-Dirty Money album Last Train To Paris, features "Jay-Z" as a co-producer. From there, she was featured on the much hyped debut single and video for "Dr. Dre’s" Detox album “I Need A Doctor” featuring Eminem. Grey also scored a cameo role in the video as a "futuristic healer".

Her latest collaboration with "Lupe Fiasco" will certainly gain her even more exposure as the buzzing single and video makes its rounds around radio and the Web. With the video making such a strong political statement and Grey’s capable vocals boosting the track to higher level, Skylar Grey will no doubt be a longtime fixture in the world of music.
