[edit] Career
Cazwell released an album in 2006 named "Get Into It," with the lead single 'All Over Your Face', which was banned from LOGO due to the sexual imagery portrayed in the video and explicit lyrics.
He is known for hosting and spinning at parties, including BoysRoom in New York City, with guests such as Lady Fag, Amanda Lepore, Dj Adam, and Raquel Reed.
[edit] True Colors
During the summer of 2007 Cazwell was a part of the multi-artist True Colors Tour[3], which traveled through 15 cities in the United States and Canada. The tour, sponsored by LOGO, was hosted by comedian Margaret Cho and headlined by Cyndi Lauper and included Rufus Wainwright, The Dresden Dolls, Rosie O'Donnell, Indigo Girls, and other special guests. Profits from the tour helped to benefit the Human Rights Campaign as well as PFLAG and The Matthew Shepard Foundation.
