Singer Tami Chynn has logged her first entry on any Billboard singles chart. Frozen, her duet with hip hop star Akon has jumped from number 16 to number 11 on Billboards Dance Music Club Play listing. The track is also burning up dance radio, as it hops to number 20 on Billboards Dance Music Airplay tally.

I am really excited about all that has been happening. The album is coming and the video with Akon is also coming. I know the fans have been waiting for both but you know how it goes sometimes when it comes to the record label, Chynn said in an interview at a c**ktail reception hosted by Pepsi Jamaica at Carlos Café recently.

Chynn is featured along with international dancehall artiste Shaggy and hip hop star Akon in the new Pepsi commercial. Chynn is heard singing the Carl Douglas 1974 hit Kung Fu Fighting. Asked how she felt about the turn of events, Chynn said I am very excited about this. Pepsi is a huge brand and I always thought that this would come later in my career. The fact that they have taken a chance on an unknown artiste and two Jamaicans at that; this is very big.

Signed to hip hop star Akons Kon Live label which is distributed by Universal Musics Geffen imprint, Chynn said the Pepsi deal came about after her manager Jules Dougall met with Ellen Healy the Director of Sports and Entertainment at Pepsi-Co in the UK. My manager met with Miss Healy through Akon and we kept in touch. The discussions went back and forth until they finally made a decision, Chynn explained.

Chynn, whose sophomore album Prima Dona is set for an early 2009 release, is going on tour with New Kids on the Block and UK pop star Natasha Bedingfield next month. I am really excited about the tour and its already sold out. I grew up on New Kids on the Block and their music. Its just amazing, Chynn said excitingly.

Prima Dona, according to Chynn, will feature the Frozen single as well as a collaboration with Voicemail titled Watch Me Wine. The song with Voicemail is very vibesy and exciting. Voicemail really represented, she said.

Chynn, who currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia - says her favorite Pepsi television commercial was We Will Rock You which featured Beyonce, Pink and Britney Spears. That commercial was really epic. Lots of girl power, said Chynn.
