Music Fascination caught up with the dance diva, who spoke about her career, the music business and her loyal gay fan base.

How did you get started as a musician?

I started singing at a very young age. My father is an opera singer and my mother is a song writer and piano teacher, so I was surrounded and exposed to music my entire life from all different genres.

I became more aware of my voice and thinking of a possible musical profession when I was around 16 years old. Nonetheless, I finished my education first and was then discovered at a fashion show, where I used to sing cover songs and model a bit.

Billie Myers - Tea & Sympathy

Billie Myers was born in England to a mixed race family, Her mother is English, her father Jamaican.

She was discovered by dance music producer Peter Harris in a dance club. Soon after they met, Billie began work on her debut album Growing, Pains. The albums first single, “Kiss the Rain”, quickly became a major radio hit.

Billie followed up her debut album with Vertigo in 2000. The sound was more mature but just as catchy as anything else she has released.

Her latest offering is the her best work to date. Tea & Sympathy is confident, inspiring, heartfelt and touching. Her smokey voice has never sounded better and so full of personality. Tea & Sympathy comes together almost like a journal of personal experiences and was my pick for album of the year.
