Thanks to her Cuban & American upbringing, she finds inspiration in both worlds...writing songs in both languages and cross genres as she crosses over. Her debut CD "Dance Cry Swing" showcases her multicultural upbringing and musical influences, flowing from Salsa to Power Pop to Jazz. And the full impact of her voice truly comes to shine in her ballads, while her upbeat music entices - no, demands - you hit the dance floor.

Eileen describes her CD as "a musical journey. It takes you through joy, loss, love, hope and seduction...just like life! But shorter."

But in a Jerry Maguire-esque scene minus Renee Zellwegger, Eileen quit her big-time TV job to follow her musical muse full-time. Prominent music producer Dan Workman, who has worked with the likes of Destiny's Child and ZZ Top, produced "Dance Cry Swing" and called Eileen "one of the most natural songwriters I've ever met". Houston Chronicle music writer Joey Guerra called her "a more accessible Tori Amos." Not a compliment-seeker by nature, Eileen nevertheless was pleased by such descriptions.

A dynamic performer with an evocative songwriting style and at ease in a bicultural, bilingual world, Eileen Faxas is poised to become a true original... an artist with immeasurable international appeal.
