BYOU 'BYOU' album

Sabrina Bryan is an Orange County girl through and through. Born and raised in “The OC”, Sabrina has been working towards achieving her dreams of becoming a multi-faceted performer. From musical artist, to actress, to dancer and finally to fitness and lifestyle role model, Sabrina is well on her well to making her dreams come true with a capital D.

Sabrina has been performing since she was seven years old. She desperately wanted to be in the movies and begged her parents to let her audition. Her parents were supportive, but wanted to make sure that she could deal with the pressure and registered her in a pageant. Sabrina wowed the audience and proved to her parents that she had the “right stuff”.

After that, there was no stopping Sabrina. She excelled in all sorts of dance, like hip-hop, ballet and tap. She also took vocal and acting lessons whenever she could. All of Sabrina’s hard work paid off when she was cast in the TV movie MRS. SANTA CLAUS with Angela Lansbury. She had a blast singing and dancing and being in front of the cameras. Sabrina says, “Rob Marshall (Director of the movie CHICAGO) was the choreographer, and he brought all of his Broadway choreography experience and taught me the discipline it takes to be the very best dancer I could be.”

Sabrina has always had to balance school with her career and school was always the most important thing in her life. She’s always made sure that she had a full life at school, in addition to studying hard, Sabrina was on Song Team and played soccer.

Sabrina’s life completely changed when she was cast as Dorinda in the Disney Channel movie, THE CHEETAH GIRLS. “When they told me I had the part, I screamed so loud and immediately had to call my parents and tell them my amazing news!” While filming the movie, Sabrina became fast friends with the other Cheetahs, Adrienne, Kiely and Raven. They had slumber parties and helped each other with lines, choreography and practiced the songs together. When the movie and album became massive hits, the Cheetahs became instantly recognizable. They love performing together and plans are in the works for a sequel to the movie and more albums. So, the Cheetahs will be performing for their fans for years to come.

Sabrina’s newest project is the fitness-dance DVD called BYOU, which you can look for in stores in early 2006. BYOU was created so girls could have fun learning cool, hip dance moves and get fit at the same time. The soundtrack features three tracks from Sabrina, including “Byou”, “Just Getting Started”, and a totally funky remix of “Byou”. Sabrina is so excited about this DVD and soundtrack and can’t wait to get out and tell everyone about Byou. “I am a Co-Producer of Byou and it’s been so cool to have everyone listen to my opinions and take them seriously. This experience has opened a whole world to me. I am so proud to tell kids about how to get healthy and have fun at the same time.”

Recording solo songs for Byou gave Sabrina the taste for doing more solo work. She is currently writing and recording songs for a debut solo album and they are sure to be rockin’. “These songs I’m working on are letting me show all my colors. I’m not just one kind of person. I’m serious, then I’m fun, then I spend time hanging with friends and then I work on my dancing. There so many sides to me it’s not even funny.”

Sabrina wants to be the next big thing to come out of The OC and she won’t stop until she is!

Sabrina's liner notes from BYOU

Good Time
This song is so good to begin the workout with because it really gets you energy going right from the start. It kind of reminds me of doing things outside in the summer, like having fun at a block party or playing with the sprinkler in the front yard.

Just Getting Started
This song is a chance for me to talk about my first time being out front musically rather than in a group. It’s about me finally starting to believe in myself and knowing that it’s becoming my reality that I’ll be doing my own thing too. The lyrics are about there being so much more to me that no one has even seen yet.

Show Them How It’s Done
I really like the melody of this one. I like the part where it says “you’re bold and strong and beautiful”. I think that Jhene has a cool voice. She really makes you want to sing along.

Join the Party
This song makes me totally feel like I’m at a party with my girlfriends dancing and having a blast. How fun!

Second 2 None
I love this song! When we were filming the video, Second 2 None brought a whole new energy to the set. The words are completely empowering for all of us girls.

Byou
Recording Byou was my first time in the recording studio by myself. It was one of the most amazing feelings I ever had. I think it has an important message to be yourself if you want to achieve your dreams. Everyone has something special to offer the world. You just have to let yourself shine!

Anything Is Possible
I love Christina. I’m so excited she was part of the soundtrack. She has an amazing voice that fits just right with this motivating song. The song is perfect for the cool down because you just want to relax and sing along with the lyrics. “Why hold back what I feel inside. I’ll never really know until I give it a try.” I love that line, it’s really inspirational.

Byou Remix
It was such a cool experience to take a song that was already so fun to sing and put harder beats behind it and listen to it transform into a funky remix. It sounds so different from the original version. It’s so fun!!

Rainbow
How can you not love love love Lee Ryan? He’s such an amazing artist. This song brings a whole new color to the soundtrack. I love it because there’s nothing better than listening to a relaxing song after a hard workout. This song would be beautiful even without any instruments, just Lee’s voice acopella.

DVD
“BYou is about getting used to moving your body and being comfortable with who you are. It doesn’t matter what size you are, this DVD will make you feel better and give you more energy. I think BYou is going to change girls’ minds about who they are and how much they can really do. I love these moves and I can’t wait for people to join in, get fit, and BYou!”

SOUNDTRACK
“This soundtrack is amazing! We have some of the hottest young talent with some of the craziest beats. You can’t help getting up and dancing when you hear these songs. Whether you’re working out or just hanging out in your room this soundtrack makes you move your body!”
