P. HUX PENS LYRICS FOR COLUMBIA RECORDS' RED HOT ROBI DRACO ROSA

If you're seeing a lot of media hype about singer Robi Draco Rosa these days, P. Hux is happy to hear it. Rosa is Columbia Records' latest entry into the star making machinery, and his success would be good news not only for Rosa, but also for P. Hux (and Hux's buddy Rusty Anderson, too.)

P. Hux co-wrote "Do You Remember," a song on Rosa's album MAD LOVE. "Do You Remember" may be released as a single for Rosa.

The teenaged Rosa was a member of Menudo, and the first to exit the band. Rosa went on to release numerous Spanish language cds under various names, and he helped his former Menudo pal Ricky Martin strike it big by writing "Livin' La Vida Loca."
