[edit] Success

Widelife first came to prominence when their debut single "I Don't Want You" reached the top of Billboard magazine's Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in October 2002. As a result of the success of this track and a previous collaboration with Thunderpuss ("Six Feet Under"), the duo was soon asked to remix songs by Lamya, Deborah Cox, Soluna and LeAnn Rimes. Their next writing and production effort, "Body (Reach Out)" by Faith Trent, also went top 5 on the Billboard dance charts.

The duo composed the theme song for the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy television series. With Simone Denny on vocals, the track "All Things (Just Keep Getting Better)" was the lead single for the series soundtrack, reaching number two on world dance charts and going top 20 on the Australian singles charts in early 2004. The duo has also performed the songs on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and South Park.
