About Cathy Dennis

Catherine Dennis (born 25 March 1968) is a British singer, songwriter and record producer. She was discovered as a teenager by music manager Simon Fuller, which led to her featuring on the hit dance single "C'mon and Get My Love" with D Mob in 1989. In the early 1990s, Dennis saw international solo success with her debut album Move to This (1990), which included three US top-ten singles including "Just Another Dream" and "Touch Me (All Night Long)"; the latter peaked at number two and remains her signature song. It was followed by the albums Into the Skyline (1992) and Am I the Kinda Girl? (1996), her final release, which included a cover of the Kinks' "Waterloo Sunset" that reached number 11 in the UK. Dennis pivoted to songwriting in the 2000s and became renowned for her work, scoring eight UK number ones and seven Billboard top ten singles. She has also gained three Grammy nominations (two wins), and been awarded six Ivor Novello Awards.
