Beginning close to home and expanding throughout the East Coast, she has used her stage presence to capture a diverse fan base leading to becoming the top voted unsigned artist in her home state on MTV2’s “On The Rise” contest. Proving her work ethic and determination, Whitney has worked with an array of established producers, including Leon Kidd (producer for 90’s hit rap group Major Figgas), John Johnson (New Kids on the Block), Chris Conway (Eminem, Mary J. Blige) and Eddie Galan (High School Music soundtrack).
Starting at a very young age, Peyton's undeniable stage presence gained her nominations for several Lehigh Valley Music Awards (PA) including “Best New Artist”, “Best Lyricist”, “Best Live Performer”, “Best Female Solo Artist” and “Best Hip Hop Performer”. Equipped with catchy hooks, relatable rap verses, and a unique image not usually associated with rap music, she has been interviewed, mentioned and played on numerous Philadelphia radio stations and regional college stations. Her media coverage doesn’t stop there. The emcee has independently landed various TV spots and swept the pages of multiple magazines and newspapers nationally. Even VH1 caught notice of her distinctive style, and personally invited Whitney to be a special guest at 2009’s Hip Hop Honors, held in Brooklyn, NY.
Whitney has performed with well-known acts including Shop Boyz (“Party Like a Rock Star”), MIMS, Tech N9ne, DEV (“Like a G6”), Paul Wall, Vanilla Ice, and DMX.

DAVE HOUSE of INTERSCOPE GEFFEN A&M to appear on the panel of THE LV MUSIC AND FASHION SHOWCASE

Dave House started his career at Jive Records as an intern before working at Interscope Geffen Records in 2002. He started his duties at Interscope Geffen A&M working as a junior assistant to Entertainment Industry Mogul Steve Stoute. He transitioned to the Radio Promotions Department when Steve Stoute left the company.
