Model-Actress-Producer-Director Lunden De'Leon has a new role: metal/punk label CEO

They call her Afro-Punk’s "It Girl," the first black woman to own metal/punk label. Regarded as one of the sexiest women in Hollywood, Swimsuit Illustrated Model / Dirrty Records Founder / CEO Lunden De'Leon is perfect for a featured story in your publication.

Some beautiful women would be satisfied with a modeling career. If they could spin that into television and movie acting, they’d be ecstatic. Not Lunden De'Leon. The Barbados-born renaissance woman turned her Swimsuit Illustrated portfolio in for roles on the hit German series "Vital Signs" and in films "The Ladies Room," "Surviving Paradise," "Fury," "Faux-Pas," and "Cryptz." Then she stepped behind the camera, producing and directing a number of independent films including the suspense thriller "Irrebuttable Presumption" and "Veronica's Secret."

Then in 2003, Lunden launched her own record label, Dirrty Records, signing award-winning rocker DH Peligro (Dead Kennedys, Red Hot Chili Peppers) and making headlines around the world for releasing a punk remake of Jimi Hendrix's classic "Purple Haze."

Lunden still acts when the right part comes along: she’s set to star in the action movie "Undercover," based on the beloved 1970s ABC television series "Get Christy Love!"

On February 7, 2005, L.A. Mayor Jim Hahn proclaimed Lunden De'Leon Day, honoring this inspiring black female entrepreneur for her contributions to her adopted city. She’s also an inductee in the Caribbean Hall of Fame alongside such legends as Bob Marley and Sidney Poitier, Her accomplishments have been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine, Business Week, Women's Wall Street and Black Enterprise.

Lunden commented: "Since starting my label, I have a greater respect for labels like Def Jam, Bad Boy, No Limit and a number of other successful indie labels. You must be business savvy and extremely creative to compete with the majors."

Lunden De'Leon is available for interviews about her record label, acting and directorial work.
