Pop Singer Brianna Haynes Co-Stars as Pop Star on ABC's "Castle"

LOS ANGELES, CA, Oct 29 (MARKET WIRE) --
Pop singer Brianna Haynes will co-star in an episode of "Castle" which
airs Monday, November 2nd at 10pm/9c on ABC. Being a recording artist in
real life, Brianna Haynes was chosen to play the demanding role of pop
star "Hayley Blue" in the episode "Famous Last Words."

While filming the episode, the crew quickly realized that Brianna was a
"perfect fit" because of her abilities to sing, dance, perform, and be
comfortable in front of the camera. She was also able to execute the
dangerous and physically challenging stunts including hanging upside down
off the side of a building.

"One scene involved me running up and down a slippery three-story fire
escape in high heels while dancing and singing," says Brianna Haynes. "It
was difficult because I had to concentrate on safety while performing at
my best."

Brianna was easily able to play the role she is getting used to in real
life. "I felt very comfortable playing a pop star because I understand
what it's really like to be a singer," says Brianna. "When they say
'action' you are performing just as if you were in concert and the
curtain just went up."

The tradition of singers crossing over into acting is not new but with
Brianna Haynes it is happening early in her career. After just releasing
a debut album, it's rare for a new recording artist like Brianna Haynes
to land a featured role on network television or major film. The singers
that accomplished it, such as Mariah Carey ("Precious"), Whitney Houston
("The Bodyguard"), Beyonce ("Obsessed"), and Celine Dion ("Flowers On The
Snow"), did it later in their careers.

"Brianna has a rare and unique talent with her natural ability to sing
like the greats, be an accomplished dancer, and now make a smooth
transition into acting," says Sergio Ponzo, album producer and President
of Righteous Rebel Music, LLC. "Artists like Brianna Haynes don't come
around very often."

The full episode (#207) can also be viewed after the air date at

The self-titled debut album "Brianna Haynes" is available nationwide on
iTunes, Amazon.com and rrebel.com.
