SinittaSinitta Renet Malone was born on the 19th of October, 1966 in Washington DC/USA. She is the daughter of singer Miquel Brown. Young Sinitta already starred in the movie "Shock Treatment" in 1981, and sung in the musical "Cats" in 1983. She then played a role in the musical "Mutiny" in 1984. After lead singing for the band Hot Gossip, she released her first solo recording "Never too late", which was mixed by Jellybean (Madonna, E.G.Daily). Further singles like "So Macho", "Cruising" and "Feels like the first time" were major club hits, but no effective chart hits. Sinitta was seen in the cinemas again in 1986 in the movie "Foreign boy". When the UK producers Stock/Aitken/Waterman discovered her, Sinitta's career finally took off. The PWL house wanted to produce a "modern Shirley Temple", and saw Sinitta as the perfect singer for this concept. After she was in the press for her young lover, Sinitta hit the charts with the actual song "Toy boy" (1987). This also was one of the first hits for SAW, and was their start into their now legendary producer career. The following songs "Cross my broken heart", "G.T.O." and "I don't believe in miracles" were also major European top ten hits, before SAW decided that Sinitta wasn't fitting into their concept of singer anymore. Sinitta wanted to go on and develop, for she was an adult and not a teenager anymore. So a Shirley Temple image did not work out for her any longer. SAW described Sinitta once as the "sexiest voice we ever produced". Back then, Sinitta was also the only SAW artist who had an album out with SAW, but who had also many different producers on it. Usually, an SAW album only contained SAW written and produced tracks. Sinitta was still at the hightime of her fame, and finding new producers like Ralf Ren Mau (London Boys) and Phil Harding (also PWL) was no problem. The No.1 hit "Right back where we started from" took her to the top. "Love on a mountain top", "Lay me down easy" and "Hitchin a ride" kept her there. When the 90s came, SAW's fame declined, and so did Sinitta's fame. People found it difficult to cope with the new grown up Sinitta, and associated her with SAW most often, which was not in style anymore. Sinitta went different ways, and recorded the "Supremes EP" (1993) and the album "Naughty naughty" (1995), which also contains various Motown covers. "Love and affection" (1990) is a song by Joan Armatrading, while "Aquarius" (1993) came from the musical and movie "Hair", that Sinitta's mother was in (as Sheila). Sinitta went back into musical. She sung with Sonia (also a former SAW artist) and Luke Goss (former Bros) in "What a feeling" (1997). She also went back into movies and played herself in "Heaven's a Drag/To Die For"(1994). You also saw her in "There's Only One Madonna" (2001). Sinitta is still giving concerts, also including her status as a gay icon. Her so far latest single is the self-produced "Use me up" (1999) on Chocolate Boy records. According to the People Magazine, Sinitta is married to businessman Andy Willner.
