Hang out with Crystal Knight and you will notice how many people seem to recognize her.  They might have seen her on MTV, in one of the many music videos she appears in, or maybe they are pretending that they remember her from MTV and not from watching her hit show, "Night Calls 411", on Playboy Television.

Born in the Bronx of Cuban and Dominican descent, Crystal left New York and moved to Los Angeles in her teens.  Her career started off as a dare when she was challenged to become a stripper.  "The first time I went onstage, I realized that I would never be able to strip unless I did it within the first 30 seconds!  I hurried only to realize that I was pretty comfortable with it."

In 1999 Crystal met some executives from Playboy who were trying to revamp one of the networks shows in order to reach a younger, hipper, demographic.  With her charisma and wit, she became the host of "Night Calls 411" which quickly became Playboy Television's highest rated show.  "It became a pretty cool show.  Most of our guests are artists like Treach from Naughty By Nature or pretty porno stars like Dee and Felicia.   A lot of celebrities like Shaq, Snoop Dogg or Brian Mcknight watch the show or come by the set."

Today, "Night Calls 411" is more popular than ever but Crystal is also receiving a lot mainstream exposure.  She has appeared in countless music videos for artists like Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, Fat Joe or R Kelly.  At first, directors like Hype Williams or Dave Meyers used to cast her to decorate the set with her pretty looks, but now, she is being requested to do cameos by the artists themselves as she is becoming an underground icon.  She has hosted music award shows and several music oriented programs.  She was featured in the Pony athletic brand 2003 ad campaign and has graced the cover of several records, including Eminem's first single.  In the meanwhile donšt expect to hear Crystal on wax.  "I can guarantee I won't try to rap or sing" she says laughing, "I have other plans.

After the success of the "Hip Hop Honeys" franchise that she hosted and co-produced, she decided to launch a new line of movies with industry leader, Video Team, which would marry the adult entertainment and the music world once again.  "Both Hip Hop and the adult industry have a lot in common.   They are dangerous, edgy, rebellious and marginalized.  They are also major components of today's pop culture.  My movies will feature cutting edge music from an array of hip hop acts that I will expose to my audience.   We 'll do a lot of cross promotion between our respective product and I plan on coming with a soundtrack compilation at one point.  We have the same consumers and they'd rather watch me and listen to someone else rap or sing"
