Alesha Anjanette Dixon (born 7 October 1978) is an English singer, rapper and television personality. She gained recognition in the early 2000s as a member of the R&B and garage group Mis-Teeq, who had seven consecutive UK top 10 singles, two top 10 double platinum albums, and sold over 12 million records worldwide.
After Mis-Teeq disbanded in 2005, Dixon signed with Polydor Records to release her debut solo album, Fired Up (2006); due to insufficient commercial reception from its lead singles, "Lipstick" and "Knockdown", she was dropped from Polydor. She then signed with Asylum Records to release her second album, The Alesha Show (2008), which was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) and produced the successful singles "The Boy Does Nothing" and "Breathe Slow", the latter of which became her highest charting single and earned her a Brit Award nomination. She went on to release the albums The Entertainer (2010) and Do It for Love (2015).
