CODE BLUE PSA

While many of us take for granted that uncomfortable bed that we complain about, the food or lack of in our refrigerators, the luxury of having over 500 channels and "nothing to watch on TV", there are millions of TEENS who would give anything just to have a roof over their head. Skye Townsend has been actively sending out "tweets" on Twitter spreading this public service announcement, "CODE BLUE".

Skye’s the Limit

She's an aspiring singer, songwriter, actress and fashionista! Who, you might ask? Skye Townsend. Yes, Skye is someone you might want to keep an eye on for the future. At just 16-years-old, this young lady has a fire burning deep within that will make her a superstar. Born the daughter of actor, comedian, film director, and writer, Robert Townsend, there's no doubt in our minds that Skye will continue on to do great things. elleELLEeye sat down with Skye (who was accompanied by her best friend Malcolm) and had an east coast to west coast interview via USTREAM. If you missed it live, here's what happened:


When did you start singing?
I was 3-years-old when I started singing.

Do you remember your first performance?
Yes, it was so scary, but I sang "Real Situation" by Bob Marley.

We know that you're a fan of Beyonce, but besides her, who inspires you to pursue music?
Definitely Billy Holiday and Lena Horne.

We saw the Angelique and Skye show on YouTube, are you also considering acting or comedy as a career?
Right now I’m training to become an actress.

What is your favorite thing to do when you’re not making YouTube videos, singing or in school?
Sleep. It's important to get rest and take care of your body.

Do you play any instruments?
I used to play piano when I was younger, but I wasn't disciplined enough to stick with it.

Do you participate in any talent shows in school?
My school doesn't really have any shows like that, but I do participate in anything artistic.

Have you had any offes from record labels yet?

Righ now I can't dicuss that, but I am still unsigned and looking for a deal. I'm focusing on my singing and songwriting.

What is your guilty pleasure?
Oreo Cheesecake.

If you could do a collaboration with any male/female artist who would it be and why?
There are so many amazing people in the industry but I would work with anyone who has a lot of passion and drive. If I had to pick I would work with Wyclef, he's a genius.

What do you want the world to know about Skye?
That I am motivated and serious about what I do. And that I eat, sleep and breathe music.

What’s next for Skye?
I've been working on designing some fashion pieces. I plan to sell these pieces starting bids at $.99 on eBay.com. Other than that, I'm focusing on my singing and songwriting.


We wish Skye the best in all of her endeavors! Keep up with what's she's doing via:

MySpace
Twitter
and YouTube [Angelique & Skye Show].

effFriday: eyeSpy Something effFly

It's a bird, it's a plane, nope...it's Fly Skye, or Skye Townsend to be exact. She made my cut for effFriday with the label of effFLY. On top of being fly, she's super cute, sassy, and more than your average teenager. She is quite the entertainer as well, and one thing that makes her the effFLYEST is that she's super humble. Check out this video of Skye and her friend Angelique impersonating Beyoncé and Rihanna...

Here's how you can keep up with her effFLYNESS:
