On the BDS list, she is just behind Train and John Mayer and a few slots above Maroon 5.

Kanisha - whose Facebook Artist Page now has over 18,000 fans - has also received a second Hollywood Music in Media Award (HMMA) in the category of Best Pop Song for her tune "Stupid Boyfriend." Previously, she had earned a nomination in the same category for "My Another Day."

Kanisha, who recently sang the National Anthem for the West Michigan Whitecaps, the Detroit Tigers Single A minor league affiliate, located in Comstock Park, MI, a suburb of Grand Rapids, has several upcoming performances scheduled.

She will be featured at H.O.M.E. at the B.O.B. in Grand Rapids on July 10 (thebob.com/homelivemusic.php), which is affiliated with the willplayforfoodfoundation.org.

Kanisha will also be performing at The New Holland Brewery on July 19, and in The Lakeshore Public Radio Free Entertainment Tent at the Lake County Fair in Crown Point, Indiana on Thursday, August 7. As part of R&B/Pop Night, Kanisha will be headlining on a bill with the Michael Turner Band; Turner is the touring saxophonist with The Ohio Players.

"Bring Me Home" was produced by veteran producer and artist Larry King (Soleil Moon, lead vocalist in the Michael Thompson Band & Larry King Orchestra). The track features some of Chicago's top musicians, including John Blasucci on keyboards, Khari Parker on drums, Lamar Jones on bass and guitarist Chris Siebold.

"My Another Day," which was a Top 40 hit on the Mediabase A/C chart, was conceived as a healing post-breakup song but adopted by many fans as an anthem about overcoming addiction.

The infectious track reached #5 on the FMQB AC40 Chart alongside superstars like Pharrell Williams, Daughtry, One Direction, Imagine Dragons, Katy Perry and Lorde.
