Des'ree (born Desiree Weeks, 30 November 1968, London 1) is one of Britain's most successful pop/soul singers throughout the 1990s
Des'ree was raised in South London and introduced to reggae, calypso and jazz music by her parents, who came to Britain from the Caribbean. Des'ree's interest in pursuing a musical career followed a three year trip to Barbados with her family at the age of fourteen.
In 1994, her single "You Gotta Be" hit the Billboard Hot 100 Top 5 and was a hit in the UK three times. You Gotta Be became the most played music video on VH1 and remained on the Billboard recurrent air-play chart for 80 weeks.
Following the single's success, Des'ree's second album, I Ain't Movin' , sold in excess of 1.6 million copies worldwide. Her success lead to an American tour with Seal in 1995. The following year, she contributed the song "Kissing You" to the soundtrack of the film William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet.
In 1998, her single "Life" became a hit in Europe. In 1999, she won a BRIT Award for the British Female Solo Artist category.[2]
Her 2003 release Dream Soldier was considerably less successful and she was dropped by her record label, Sony.
