Katrina's journey to finally releasing her studio debut, 'In the Blink of an Eye,' was a unique one. The singer always knew her heart was in music, but opted to finish college, go to law school, get a Masters degree in Entertainment and Media Law and work in the criminal defense and workers' compensation fields before finally returning to music after a performance in Las Vegas inspired her to quit her day job.

Katrina shared the details of her cameo-studded 'OPM' video shoot with AOL Music revealing, "'OPM' was shot at my home in Los Angeles. All of it. I adore that so many big players (pun intended) came out for cameos. [producer/DJ] Dave Aude is a stud and at his young age already a legend as a DJ and remixer. [actor] Frank Stallone is a total hottie and playboy, but one of the nicest guys you could ever meet ... ever."

"George Rogge is famous in his own right and influential in the Vegas community and beyond. DJ Nino, resident DJ at planet Hollywood in Vegas, and then some, added to the ambiance with his devilish good looks. The whole mob scene looked like one from a feature film," Katrina gushed about her video co-stars.

As for the inspiration behind the video, "OPM was inspired by my time spent in the Hollywood Hills. While practicing law, before going back to music, I admittedly partied (but not nearly as hard as others) with a group of professionals ... lawyers, doctors, and retirees babysitting their investments."

Katrina candidly revealed, "I was, however the only female in the group who was also a professional, running a criminal defense firm with my mother at the time. There was this overwhelming element of mostly women, some men, all beautiful with empty pockets partying to overindulgent opulent extremes with other people's money. The lifestyle included private jets, villas, 96 Dom, and homes that belonged on the show 'MTV Cribs.'"

Katrina admits, "The overall experience was so voluminous it gave me material for the songs 'Other People's Money' and 'Lost in the Hollywood Hills', with plenty of material to spare."

But the singer wont go revealing the identities of her fellow ragers from her former life. "Names have been with held to protect the guilty ... at least for now," she joked.
