Background
Wallace is best known for 1992 Breakbeat hardcore/Techno song "Tell Me Why," which was co-produced and co-written by Wallace with Mark Williams and Matt Clayden (aka M&M). Although she had other follow-up releases, "Why" remains her signature song. After her brief success as a solo artist, Wallace took some time out to return to school, gaining a university diploma in marketing and management and worked until May 1995 in the British Ministry Of Agriculture.
In 1995 she returned to the music scene as a lead vocalist for the German group Garfield. Since then, Wallace continued to work with other dance and electronica artists, mostly doing lead vocals on their recordings. In 2009 she teamed up with Spanish DJs Cuto and Melo to record "Do I Really Want You Back" and "Que Pasa," and with UK Drum 'n Bass artist MC Skibadee for "All of My Junglists." She also tours with Stereo MCs as their background vocalist.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“They were more than hostile. In the first place, I was a south Georgian and I was looked upon as a fiscal conservative, and the Atlanta newspapers quite erroneously, because they didn’t know anything about me or my background here in Plains, decided that I was also a racial conservative.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
