Multi-talented teen pop singer Alana Lee (www.alanaleemusic.net) may still feel some “Butterflies”—her debut single and video which snagged more than 12 million views on YouTube—but she’s ready to share the stage with a batch of pop music powerhouses at the upcoming Summerfest 25 in Brea, Calif.

Alana performs a free show during the three-day event on Saturday, June 2 at 4 p.m. featuring her never-performed new song “Drive Me.” Other artists on the bill include the iconic MC Hammer headlining that day, along with the OC Hit Factory, The People and Adult Lip Sync.

Other performers at this year’s festival include Starship, Rick Derringer, Bobby Kimball (original lead singer of Toto), Skip Martin (from Dazz Band and Kool & The Gang) and the tribute bands DSB (Journey), Bostyx (Boston and Styx) and Creedence Clearwater Revisited.

Previous Summerfest headliners include Pat Benatar, Rick Springfield, Eddie Money, The Pointer Sisters, Peter Frampton, Sugar Ray and The Commodores. For complete event information, visit http://www.summerfestbrea.org.

Alana also recently released “This Is Me,” her infectious third single, to iTunes. The video can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs-mYP0KSPw.

Alana kicked off 2012 with a coveted artist profile in the New! Discover & Uncover section of Clear Channel’s iheartradio.com, visited by millions of music seeking fans each month. She also recently attended Rockin A Cure, an annual fundraising event for cystic fibrosis, at The Vault Orange County in Orange, Calif.

The young multi-talent- who has a background in acting- has also spread her wings onto the big screen with a featured role in The Measure of A Man,” which was written and directed by Elizabeth Waite, and currently receiving numerous accolades on the independent film circuit. The film received six awards at the eight film festivals that have featured it. Alana will discuss her acting background and more in a live interview on Actors eChat on Tuesday, June 18 at 10 a.m. PT at www.actorsreporter.com.

Alana recently earned more national attention with her appearance on Young Icons—a nationally-syndicated television program about young people changing the world, produced by Byron Allen’s Entertainment Studios. The songstress also earned two 2011 Hollywood Music In Media Awards (HMMA) nominations including Best Pop Song for “Synchronize” and Best Music Video for “Butterflies.”
