[edit] Biography
Aged 11, Bryan joined the Italia Conti Academy stage school, where she completed eight years of performing arts and qualified as a dance teacher. On her first day at Italia Conti, Bryan meets Louise Nurding - the pair will spend almost everyday day together for 10 years, and remain friends today. While out illegally clubbing aged 16 one night, the pair met music producer Denis Ingoldsby, who was forming a girl band [1]
Bryan and Nurding, together with sisters Easther and Vernie Bennett became the early 1990's award-winning, multi-million selling, chart-topping British R&B girl group Eternal. Eternal sold millions of albums and had international hits such as "Stay", "Just a Step from Heaven", "Oh Baby I", "Power of a Woman", "I Am Blessed", "Someday", "Don't You Love Me", "I Wanna Be the Only One" and "Angel of Mine".
After splitting from Eternal, Bryan signed to Mercury Records and released the solo single "Higher Than Heaven". Bryan's second solo single "I Wanna Know" and debut solo album Breakfast in Bed were due for release in 2000, but were cancelled because Bryan was diagnosed with lupus and was too ill to promote them.
Bryan spent the next few years recovering. She excelled in kick-boxing and concentrated on her acting career, and in April 2005 performed as a guest in a school charity concert, organised by students, in aid of St. Thomas' Lupus Trust.
Over Christmas 2005 she appeared as "Jill" in the pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk at Buxton Opera House.
In summer 2006 she was a contestant on Love Island 2, finishing as the female runner-up.
Kelle is due to appear as CINDERELLA at the Catford Theater in London this December 16th Onwards!
