Betty Boo is a Hip Hop pioneer and 90's icon, as well as a a multi-platinum selling, Brit-and Ivor Novello- Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from West London

After a chance meeting in McDonalds on Shepherd's Bush Green, she ended up supporting Public Enemy on tour in the US with her Hip Hop trio The She Rockers. In 1989, she featured as guest vocalist on The Beatmasters' Top 10 single - Hey DJ/I Can't Dance (To That Music You're Playing).

Her frst solo single - Doin' The Do - was released the following year and announced Betty Boo as a phenomenon in her own right. Betty Boo released two albums - Boomania and GRRR! It's Betty Boo - and then mostly retired from the public eye. 2022 saw the unexpected return of Betty Boo with her incredible album Boomerang.

Betty Boo now returns with a new project, 'Rip Up The Rulebook'. "I loved making Boomerang so much that I kept writing. I'm very proud of these songs and grateful to be back creating music full time. The album title Rip Up The Rulebook is my response to stereo- typical ideas about what women should be doing in their ffties. I have never had so much fun making music (with my friends Andy Wright and Gavin Goldberg). Long may it continue".

Live dates for 2024 to be announced. Upcoming performance at London's Islington Assembly Hall on June 15th.

Past support: 4&5-star album reviews & features in Mojo, Record Collector, The Times & Classic Pop, cover feature in Retro Pop, features in The Observer, The Guardian & The Telegraph
