Inaya Day - House Music

House Music

Day was introduced to house music in 1996 when she was asked to do a demo. She met German record producers Boris Dlugosch and Mousse T, who produced a dance single "Keep Pushin", which went on to reach #2 on the Billboard dance charts. She then sang chorus for Mousse T's track "Horny", which later gained in popularity when additional vocals from the duo Hot 'N' Juicy were added to the song. "Horny" reached #1 on the Billboard dance chart. The follow-up song "Hold Your Head Up High", with Booom!, reached #6 on the Billboard dance chart.

In 1997, she released the club anthem "Movin' Up", credited as DJ Mike Cruz Presents Inaya Day and Chyna Ro. For this record, long time friend and actress Tichina Arnold lent her vocals but chose to use the moniker Chyna Ro fr the project. She again teamed up with Cruz for "Can't Stop Dancing" which reached #1 on the Billboard club play chart.

In 2004 she sang on a track by the Australian dance producer mrTimothy called "I Am Tha 1", credited to Mr Timothy featuring Inaya Day, which went to the top of the Australian dance charts and top 30 in the Australian pop charts. She also sang on his next single "Stand By Me" later that year. "Nasty Girl" was first released in Australia, reaching the top 20, and it was then released in the UK in July 2005, and reached #9 there. Later that year, she also guest featured on "The Glamorous Life", a single by T-Funk, an alternate alias of mrTimothy. In June 2007, Day released a cover version of the 1988 Big Pig song, "Breakaway".

INAYA DAY's is a voice you've certainly heard at some point while stomping the dance floor. Whether it's Hip Hop, R&B, Funk, or House music, she's in there. You've heard her voice on Mousse T's "Horny", on "Hold Your Head Up High", "Nasty Girl", and "Keep Pushin", but we must go on to mention a few others like, "I am Tha 1", "Stand By Me", "Glamorous Life", "Shout it Out", "Movin Up", "Breakaway", & "Natural High". She's had numerous UK, Aria, and Billboard top tens and is still going strong! INAYA recently collaborated with QUENTIN HARRIS on their single, "Do The Right Thing", for his album, "Sacrifice", on Strictly Rhythm. Besides writing for herself, INAYA has written for Bootsie Collins, Randy Crawford, and Missy Elliot, to name a few. In addition to house music, INAYA writes,records and performs gospel, musical theater, jazz, hip-hop (QUEEN LATIFAH, MC LYTE, MISSY ELLIOTT, SEAN "PUFFY" COMBS, BIG DADDY KANE, etc), and R&B.

Seeking to gain more control over the fate of her music, Inaya has started her own record label, Ny-O-Dae Music, Inc, from which she's released the titles, "Higher Place", "Chase Me", "That Night", "One Way""Jump up and Down", and the reggae flavored, "JUMP UP & DOWN".

Who knew that this card-carrying member of the Actor's Equity Association, groomed in church and musical theater (THE WIZ, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, etc), would become one of the most prolific writers and frequently heard voices on the Universe's dance floors.

Listen out for Inaya's music, including her collaboration with Crystal Waters & StoneBridge, "Long Day", and her collaboration with Marc JB of Bimbo Jones, " "Every Breath"" (w/mixes by Bimbo Jones, Frankie Knuckles, Tony Moran, GoldLock & Octagn), on a dance floor near you.
