Christelle - What You Gon Do Wit It mp3

(Vocals) (Song) (Instrumental)

Christelle’s voice is an unstoppable force that perfectly fits this incredibly determined young woman.

The Las Vegas based nineteen-year-old Pop/R&B artist has taken on countless challenges in her young life and career, and has successfully met every single one. Her hot new songs herald the arrival of this very special young artist, who lets nothing and no one get in her way.

Born in Gabon, West Africa, Christelle grew up listening to French, African and American music. The music that struck a chord in her was the American R&B and Hip-Hop of artists like Beyonce, Ashanti, Brandy, Jay-Z, 50 Cent and Mariah Carey. As Christelle recalls, “Even though I couldn’t understand the lyrics back then, no other music made me feel as good.”

When Christelle saw Rihanna, a Barbados native, gain huge success in America, it inspired her to make it big as a singer in her own right. Starting vocal training in early 2008, she soon entered the recording studio, and this year she has already recorded twenty-four songs, and produced a video for her track, “Money Machine.” Her sultry and sexy voice suits songs like “Excess Vibration,” “You’re Busted” and “I’m A Tease” perfectly. The combination of her Pop and R&B sensibilities make the songs immediately memorable – fun and hot.

Christelle is currently recording with young producer Jbeats & Dizzy D from Jackson, TN, adding a more urban pop and R&B flavor to her music, as she plans for her breakout year of 2009. “I loved recording the songs I did this year and seeing them grow,” she says with a smile. “I know I’ve come a long way, but I’ve going to go much further this year.” She’s looking forward to touring and for her music to be on the radio, and as she says, “I just hope to give back the good feelings I felt when I was in Africa, listening to American music.” Those are big ambitions, but given what Christelle has already accomplished, there’s little doubt that she’ll get what she’s been looking for.
