"... one of the most sultry.seductive voices around."-ARTISTdirect.com
#1 hit song, "Santa Baby" now featured in "Party Monster" starring Seth Green and Macaulay Culkin.Band/artist history
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.Have you performed in front of an audience?Rarely. Performed "Someone to watch over me" to the Saharwian people in May of '01.

Hi! So nice to meet you. My wife and I (she's a fabulous singer, too!) love the Old Standards, Big Band, as well as a lot of the new music. But the Old Standards and Jazz are our favored genres. Diana Krall and Steve Tyrell are two of our very favorite performers. And you sound fabulous on this! We love your style and attitude. It was a real pleasure listening to you. Best t you from both of us...... Alan & Di
