31 year old Frome native Kerry Mackay, professionally known as Rhyze, is ecstatic with the news that her single ‘Into the Darkness’ has skyrocketed to claim its spot at #8 on the pop charts.

Beating out big names like Justin Timberlake, Little Mix and David Guetta, Rhyze was able to cement her remixed single on the top 10 list. And it’s no wonder this song has found such success, with the perfect marriage between Rhyze’s soulful lyrics which exude romance and Cutmore’s international musical mastery that keep people on the dance floor. This is big news for the artist who has had the opportunity to perform alongside a number of big names including Cascada and X Factor's Lucy Spraggan and Kingsland Road with performances in Bristol, Swansea, London and Essex to audiences of over 10,000 people

It has been a long journey for Rhyze, who has previously been part of Love Beats Riot. Having decided this past year to finally take the plunge and team up with The Famous Company which has paid off tenfold.

Kerri said, "I’ve never been more excited! I have been really fortunate to work with some really great people within the music industry in the past few years. I think it goes to show that with the right people behind you anything is possible".

Later this year Kerri will be recording her first music video for her new single which is expected to be released in November. Kerri will also be performing at a number of events and venues all over the UK this summer.
