CYNTHIA MANLEY

This petite sexy and gorgeous performer can at once steal your heart and rock you all night long. She'll send a shiver down your spine, causing what Quincy Jones so aptly described as "truth marks". From Elvis to Bonnie Raitt, "blue-eyed soul" has traditionally been one of the most successful formats for pop music. Brilliantly, Cynthia carries on this tradition. She cites as influences Aretha Franklin, Janice Joplin and Tina Turner.

From Elvis to Bonnie Raitt, "blue-eyed soul" has traditionally been one of the most successful formats for pop music. Brilliantly, Cynthia carries on this tradition. She cites as influences Aretha Franklin, Janice Joplin and Tina Turner. One needs only to see and hear her perform to understand why she has achieved three Billboard Dance charted records. These include: "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", "Back in my Arms" and "Chain Reaction". Her cover of Sly Stone's, "Stand" and the accompanying video were played world-wide to critical acclaim.

These successes led her to be named one of the Top Twenty Artists of the Year by Billboard Magazine and culminated in her being one of only ten artists invited to perform at the International New Music Seminar in NYC. In 1997 Cynthia produced her first "do-it-yourself" CD entitled "Free As A Bird" with the incredibly talented drummer/musician Mauricio Lewak.

This CD captured the attention of a company producing shows for the military .Cynthia loves to entertain and these tours gave her "do what it takes to get it done" attitude a chance to shine. She and her band toured the Balkans during a very "scary" time,and had mortar land 30 ft. from her, in iraq, and still she enjoys doing the tours! "All Over The Place" was Cynthia's next CD creation with lots of creative help from Frank Scarpelli and Eric Gorfain.

Cynthia calls herself a "lifer", and has entertained audiences to standing ovations in China, Europe, The Middle East, Japan and throughout the United States. Let her entertain you.

Cynthia Manley CDs are available from CD Baby, PayPlay, iTunes, Buy.com, Tower Records, Rhapsody and other major music retailers.
