Currently, Press Play’s signature dance moves from their single, NY2LA, music video have inspired dance challenges between rivaling groups in cities across the nation.

Breaking out on the music scene with fans across the country, Press Play’s debut CD, Life is Beautiful, hit the Billboard Top 200 chart at #45 in its first week out, with appearances on NBC’s Today Show, FOX News, TBN and other major media outlets. Brought together by Matthew Barnett, acclaimed as one of the most dynamic voices in today’s culture as founder of The Los Angeles Dream Center, Press Play was developed with a new and exciting vision for music; to change lives with a positive and relevant voice.

Already garnering great attention with their latest record, Press Play’s current radio single, “NY2LA,” was co-produced by Grammy Award winner Brian Kennedy and mixed by Bob Horn (Ne-Yo, Akon, Timbaland) and Sean Tallman (Rihanna, The Game, Ne-Yo). The single is a national danceable hit song with a contemporary rock and pop feel. With a cameo from the star of Everybody Hates Chris, Tyler James Williams, “NY2LA” is a powerful call to all, literally from NY to LA, to get involved in making a difference in someone's life and be a positive change in their communities.

On the NY2LA album, Press Play’s six unique and talented members inspire listeners with their deep and meaningful words in an upbeat and dance-oriented manner. Several of the standout hit tracks include “Love Somebody,” an 80‘s tribute song and “Getcha Hands Up” co-produced by Theron Feemster (Jay-Z, Will Smith, Jamie Foxx). Singing about love, friendship and the power within us all to change the world, Press Play has created twelve exceptional songs that resonate with fans of all music genres.

Featured on the new release and the “NY2LA” music video are fans shown performing the signature “NY2LA” dance in diverse cities and settings across the country. Hundreds of dance groups sent in their creative renditions of the “NY2LA Dance” with rivaling dance challenges from city to city, resulting in a brilliantly entertaining combination, which can be found both on the album and at this link: http://www.ny2latour.com/videos.html.
