vocals
.....which brings us to Anita Kelsey! MOBO winner, # 1 chart-topper
and BMG in-house songwriter, Anita is best known for her work with
D*Note and Sunship. Her involvement with the club scene has seen her
collaborating with the industry's most respected and cutting-edge
producer/DJ's such as Paul Oakenfold, Signum, Chocolate Puma, Armin van
Buuren and Hardsoul amongst others. Her new single with Hardsoul 'Wicked
World' - due out in early 2007 boasts a remix from none other than 'Put
Your Hands Up For Detroit''s Fedde Le Grande - this is now his third
remix for Anita. Her new single 'Slipping Away' with Richard Durand in
Holland has massive support from Tiesto, Armin, Ferry Corsten & all the
other trance giants & is already being tipped as a massive hit for 2007.
Her single with Belgian artist TTLC on Mostiko 'Never Ever' is just
entering their national charts which will make Anita's second single to
do so, the first one being Shed My Skin with D*Note which spent 22 weeks
in the top 20 & landed her first #1.
Anita's versatility has also led to work on Walt Disney's Merlin, Bring
Me The Head of Mavis Davis, and the cult sci-fi classic film Dark City
on which Jennifer Connolly mimes to Anita's renditions of 'Sway' and
'The Night Has A Thousand Eyes'. Her backing vocal credits include The
Spice Girls, Bill Wyman, Boy George, Alice Deejay, Bond, Alison
Limerick, Sybil, Russell Watson and Bo Selecta!

so hard to give the crowd what they wanted.'
