[edit] Background
Wallace is best known for 1992 Breakbeat hardcore/Techno song "Tell Me Why," which was co-produced and co-written by Wallace with Mark Williams and Matt Clayden (aka M&M). Although she had other follow-up releases, "Why" remains her signature song. After her brief success as a solo artist, Wallace took some time out to return to school, possessing a university diploma in marketing and management and worked until May 1995 in the British Ministry Of Agriculture.[1]
In 1995 she returned to the music scene as a lead vocalist for the German group Garfield. Since then, Wallace continued to work with other dance and electronica artists, mostly doing lead vocals on their recordings. In 2009 she teamed up with Italian DJs Cuto and Melo to record "Do I Really Want You Back" and "Que Pasa," and with UK Drum 'n Bass artist MC Skibadee for "All of My Junglists." She also tours with Stereo MCs as their background vocalist.
