MC Lyte is currently starring on UPN’s primetime hit sitcom “Half & Half” as “Ky” the record company President. Last year, she also served as a recurring celebrity judge on CBS’s STAR SEARCH with Arsenio Hall.

Lyte was also a familiar face on television with her recurring character “Lana” on the WB’s long running comedy, “For Your Love”.

Lyte’s television credits also include UPN’s “Platinum”, “In The House” and “Moesha”, Nickelodeon’s “Cousin Skeeter “and MTV’s “DNC”.

In the world of film, thus far Lyte wrapped filming on “Playa’s Ball” which tells the story of the NBA’s newest rookie whose life is turned upside by a paternity suit and rape charge. Lyte also shows what’s really going down in an all female prisons in the Trimark/Lions Gate’s feature release entitled, Civil Brand.

Lyte also landed roles in feature films including Extreme Pictures’ Train Ride, Cinergi

Pictures’ Burn Hollywood Burn, Warner Brother’s Fly By Night; and the independent features, Luv Tails and Short Handed.

With her signature style and recognizable voice it only makes sense that Lyte would be tapped for national voiceover campaigns.

It’s been an incredible ride for MC LYTE! To date, MCLYTE has released eight albums as well as co-written and performed the television theme songs for Fox’s “Dark Angel” and BET’s “Holla”.
