[edit] Music Career

She has experienced a great deal of success on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play, Hot Dance Airplay charts and the UK Singles chart , beginning in the mid-nineties and continuing into the 21st century. Though her first chart entry on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play came in 1995 and was a moderate hit ("I Know a Place," #32), her debut single was actually "Nitelife" in 1994, produced and written by Ten City. Between 1999 and 2002 she scored six hits in a row that hit the top two, five of those went to number one: "Unspeakable Joy", "Missing You", "Bumpin' and Jumpin'", "Everyday" and "Treat Me Right". All of these hit singles (excluding "I Know a Place") are featured on her debut album Higher Things, released in late 1998 on the New York City based record label, Nervous Records NYC. Both "Unspeakable Joy" and "Everyday" became her most successful radio hits to date. The album also features a cover version of Anita Baker's song, "Been So Long."

English began as a Gospel singer and many of her most popular songs contain references to God, faith and belief in yourself.

In 2006, English earned her sixth and seventh U.S. dance number-ones with "It Makes a Difference" and "C'est La Vie". Both hits are from her sophomore album titled, My Destiny, which was released in late September. All of her hits have been released on Nervous Records NYC.
