It’s been a bit of a whirlwind year for internet sensation Payton Rae: from walking a red carpet, to charity events, and to even a fashion industry event! The “Stomp The Fire Out” singer is still so excited and thankful for this year.

She shares:

“This December is definitely going to be one that I’ll remember. I had the privilege of doing so many different things: walking the red carpet at the ACA’s in Las Vegas, singing at the PromGirl.com fashion show in New York City, working with a few charities for the holiday season, and writing new music. I have never had such a busy month, but honestly, that’s how I like it. I am so honored and blessed to have had all of these amazing opportunities. We ended 2012 with a bang!”

Payton will return to the recording studio in January 2013 to start work on her brand new album, which is scheduled for release sometime next year. She’s become a star in her own right this year – racking up more than 12 million views on her YouTube channel, and earning loyal social media fans on both Twitter and Facebook.

Payton recently signed a sponsorship deal with ALYCE Paris, which will have her seen in magazine ads across North America, as well as in the company’s Spring 2013 catalog, and in posters and banners across the United States.
