#1 hit song, "Santa Baby" now featured in "Party Monster" starring Seth Green and Macaulay Culkin.
The bio blurb- Cynthia "c." Basinet, a throwback to an earlier era of sultry style and elegance, is a gorgeous singer, actress, model and dancer. The leggy comedic redhead began her career as a fashion model in San Francisco.
After five more years of international modeling successes in Paris (where she learned to speak fluent French), London and Milan, she returned to Los Angeles. Later, after appearing in music videos for the likes of Roy Orbison and the Babys, she used her talent array to bridge into acting appearing in movies, TV shows and national commercials.
Always a classically trained musician, since childhood (when she first learned to play the flute, sax and sing) and an astute businesswoman, Basinet established an entirely new channel of distribution for her music using the Internet to bypass the usual Hollywood and recording industry path to bring her releases directly to listeners around the World. With worldwide radio play and millions of downloads (however, often credited to Marilyn Monroe, who never recorded the song) she has created an entertainment phenomenon with her rendition of "Santa Baby".
She continues recording and acting while using her music to raise awareness for many, including a trip in May/June of '01 to refugee camps in the Western Sahara. Also a single mom, she currently resides in Los Angeles, CA.
Rarely. Performed "Someone to watch over me" to the Saharwian people in May of '01.
Started as a tot on jazz, came back as a tot to jazz.
To peace within our only true power.
