Writing Sample #3: Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SYMANTIX SIGNS WITH FAT FACE RECORDS

New York, NY, April 6, 2006--The stunning and spunky rapper and entrepreneur Symantix has just landed a deal with Fat Face Records, a London-based record label. Sure to show off the wit, dynamism, and emotional depth that made Devil with the Blue Mic such a huge success, her debut Fat Face EP will be released in the summer of 2006 into the US, UK and Asian markets.

Add this venture to the young starlet's impressive list of accomplishments. Devil with the Blue Mic, which was released in April 2004, sold thousands of copies and solidified her presence in the hip-hop game. In addition, two of her music videos have been televised, with "New York Life" appearing on Music Choice and "Hope and Pray", which features M1 of the revolutionary-minded hip-hop duo Dead Prez, appearing on MTV2.

The CEO of Fat Face Records, Andrew DeMonte, first took notice of Symantix when she appeared on a reality documentary showcasing women in hip-hop, which aired in London . "When I first heard Symantix's flow I knew she was a perfect match for Fat Face's vision," says DeMonte. "And from what we've recorded, she's proven me right."

Specializing in the international distribution of cutting-edge hip-hop, dance, and R&B music, Fat Face is also home to recording artist Huggy Bear of Starsky and Hutch fame. Symantix's contract with Fat Face also includes global distribution for Blackout Entertainment, Symantix's own entertainment and multimedia enterprise.
