BETTY BLACK (LIVE PA) - Artist on stage around 4:15pm performing X1 Live set
Known for having one of the most distinguishable voices in modern music, Elisabeth Troy has had a electrifying career since starting out in Jungle and Hardcore in the early nineties, soon becoming a pioneering force to be reckoned with on the underground and mainstream dance music scene. She achieved a massive underground club hit singing on Bass Selective's "Blow out part 2", and a Huge top 40 with the classic 'Greater Love'.
A few years on she further cemented her place as a vocal and writing force with her ground-breaking work with M.J. Cole on the Gold Selling "Sincere" Album and numeral performances on "Top of the Pops" and "Later with Jools Holland". She has shown time and time again that she can turn her hand to any genre and make it her own.
The success of her recent collaboration with Digital Soundboy leading lady B.Traits has introduced her to a new audience, Whilst at the same time bringing her back almost full circle to a sound very reminiscent to her Hardcore/ Jungle roots.
Maintaining a fresh and forward vibe allowing her to explore new musical territories and blur the lines between dance music classics and more traditional singer-songwriter formats, it's no wonder that she's regarded as one of the hottest properties in British urban music today.
