Once upon a time not long ago, if you were in Europe, America or Asia, you could not listen to the radio or walk into a club without hearing Better off Alone, Will I Ever and Back In My Life.
It all started in 1999, when a group of Dutch young deejays and talented producers saw their free collaboration culminate into a project selling over one million albums and 5 million singles worldwide. The controversially titled album “Who Needs Guitars Anyway?” spawned no less than 5 international hits: Will I Ever (UK #7), The Lonely One (UK #16), Back in my Life” (UK #4), Celebrate our Love (UK #17) and Better Off Alone (UK #2). Other countries where Alice Deejay crushed the charts were Germany, France, South Africa, Australia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal and Canada. In 2002 the energetic frontwoman Judy and the ‘behind the scene’ members of the group decided to call it quits. The hits of Alice Deejay though, never stopped being air- and clubplay favorites. Then, in 2013 something was in the air, Shakira called. She was working on her new album and wanted to record a new version Better off Alone. No less than one month later; David Guetta on the phone, who just finished recording ‘Play Hard’ Ne-Yo and Akon, requesting permission to include the ‘killer hook’ from ‘Better Off Alone’. Resulting in another worldwide smash for David and renewed attention for Alice Deejay. So now what..
Alice Deejay is back in business with a new voice and face, Amsterdam DJ and singer Ilona, managed by.. the founding fathers of the group, so it’s all in the family. Oh, and a slightly abbreviated name.. Alice DJ. Available for 100% live-shows featuring the original Alice DJ hit singles and with powerful medleys and live mashups celebrating the best dance hits of the 90’s and 00’s.
You’re better off with Alice DJ on your side. Get this energetic threesome back in your life, now.
Alannah Myles grew up splitting her time between studying to be an artist at a vocational school for graphic arts in Toronto and in the little northern town of Buckhorn, Ontario on her family’s ranch riding horses and later competing in equestrian horse shows until she decided to make a full time career of performing.
Myles spent her commercial acting income on demo tapes in order to find a record deal until joining creative forces with songwriter Christopher Ward. Ward penned her now legendary Black Velvet which won Myles a Grammy for “Best Rock Vocalist” after producing a special on The Life Of Elvis Presley for Canada’s Much Music.
Together with Christopher’s songs and financing and David Tyson’s production they secured Myles an eight album recording contract with Atlantic Records in New York. After the sale of nearly eight million records worldwide of her first self-titled record at beginning of the 90s, she concluded her alliance of only three records with Atlantic and signed on with Miles Copeland’s Ark 21 Records.
