Mica Paris

Spanning a career over three decades, Mica remains revered by many as possibly the greatest ever soul-gospel voice from outside the United States.

Ever since bursting onto the scene with her international hit My One Temptation, she has gained an army of fans and collaborated with some of the giants of the music industry such as Nile Rodgers, Prince and Bobby Womack earning her the title of UK Queen of Soul.

In recent years she has extended her talents as a televison presenter, most notably as host for BBC 2's What Not to Wear and as a presenter for BBC Radio 2's Soul Solutions.

After a short break from recording, last year saw Mica focus on completing new material for 2015 including an album with legendary songwriter and producer, Rod Temperton - famed for working alongside Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones and Heatwave.
