Born June 24, 1989 in Meopham, England, the British singer began her music career at 18, with the formation of the girl group Paradiso Girls. They dropped their debut single “Patron Tequila” in 2009 and made some waves, reaching No. 3 on the Hot Dance Club Play Chart and No. 82 on the Canadian Hot 100. After an unsuccessful second single, the group disbanded.
Pursuing a solo career, Bennett was featured on a remix of will.i.am’s “I Got It from My Mama”. In 2011, she joined the Party Rock Tour with LMFAO and was featured on the group’s international hit, “Party Rock Anthem.” Bennett later joined G.R.L from 2013 to 2015.
