Can R&B starlet CASSIE turn her MySpace celebrity into musical success?
Becoming famous on the Internet may not be a new phenomenon, but it can still be unnerving. “People know who I am from MySpace, which is really, really weird,” says 19-year-old model-turned-singer Cassie. Not that she minds the attention. The self-described extrovert—who is of Filipino, Mexican, and West Indian descent—started her page last year to help promote her catchy R&B ditty, “Me & U.” Over 115,000 friends’ worth of Internet buzz later, Cassie won the attention of major record labels. Having already inked a management deal with Tommy Mottola, the singer signed with P. Diddy and Bad Boy Records, who will release her debut
in August.
