LOS ANGELES, April 8, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Chantel "Chani" Christie, daughter of NBA power couple, Doug and Jackie Christie, is set to release her second Pop single titled "Planet Disco" for the independent label, Jean Rah Fya Records.

Lastly, Chani has been announced as the National Youth Spokesperson for YMCA.

"While creating the track for planet disco, I thought about the future of music, and where I wanted to see it go," says producer CurtBeatz. At the age of 22, CurtBeatz has worked with many talented artists. Chani says, "when I first heard the track to Planet Disco I thought immediately, I have to do this song! It has great energy and worldwide appeal. Being only 14, I can use my imagination when I sing it."

Chani's music is taking the industry by storm. She has been featured in the March issue of Celebrity High Magazine. In addition, she will grace the upcoming cover issue for Urban Teen Magazine. Also a cover story in the Orlando Sentinel newspaper featured this talented teen and commented on her maturity and how Chani is making a difference with her ambassadorship as the United States youth ambassador for HIV/AIDS. She is also featured on a vast number of online music and talent websites. She has performed and hosted several events including the 'Music Smash 2008' in Los Angeles, California. Her record label, Jean Rah Fya Records, put on Music Smash to bring young talent together in the community and bring awareness to the importance of staying in school and being a good person and role model. Chani has costarred on "Committed: The Christie's" reality television show currently on BETJ.

Recently releasing her first video, titled "Here We Are Again," she got the opportunity to work with director Rick Kleinsmith of Pet Project Productions. "Chani is a breath of fresh air and a producer's dream. She is great to work with because of her versatility as a singer," said Ralph Stacy, producer of her first single. Additionally, this 14 year old singing sensation is featured on the rising teen group "Small Change" debut single titled "Be Shy," which also features Yung Joc. This single is already garnering play on Atlanta's hot radio station V103 FM.

Chani will tour the Unites States inspiring youth from all walks of life and through her music she hopes to inspire all youth to follow their dreams.
