Dina Carroll

  / artists (D)
Real Name:Geraldine Carroll
Profile:Born 21 August 1968, in Newmarket, Suffolk) is an English singer of Scottish and African American descent.

At age 16, she was signed to the dance music record label Streetwave, located in London. Carroll moved to West London and recorded two singles, "Set It Off" and "One Nation", in the mid 1980s, credited to a non-existent group, Masquerade.

In 1989, Carroll secured a recording contract with Jive/Zomba and released a number of singles in 1989 and 1990. Carroll also provided vocals to Brothers in Rhythm's single "Peace and Harmony" in 1991.

After a short time at Jive/Zomba, Carroll was spotted by Dennis Ingoldsby, one half of First Avenue Management, a small and newly founded management group. First Avenue were also managing another unknown band called Quartz. Carroll provided vocals for Quartz on their cover of Carole King's "It's Too Late". A follow-up single, "Naked Love (Just Say You Want Me)" was also released, reaching number 39.

After two singles with Quartz, First Avenue decided to relaunch Carroll as a solo artist. Carroll's first solo single, "Ain't No Man" was released in June 1992

In order to capitalise on the momentum of "Ain't No Man", Carroll and Lowis worked on future singles and her debut album. Carroll was approached by Robert Clivillés and David Cole of C&C Music Factory who invited her to New York to become the first British artist to work with them. Carroll interrupted the writing and recording of her album to record "Special Kind of Love".

Carroll released her first ballad single "So Close" in December 1992, which was another top 20 hit. In January 1993, the album So Close was released and entered the top 10 of the UK Albums Chart.

Carroll was named Best Female Artist at the BRIT Awards in February 1994. She then took a break from her recording and touring obligations.

A new album, Only Human followed in October. It debuted at #2 on the album charts, equalling the position of her debut "So Close".

Carroll was nominated for "Best British Female Artist" in the 1997 BRIT Awards. She then went into artistic hibernation, and although there were press reviews of tracks like "Living for the Weekend" (reviewed in Billboard Magazine as a promo US single), the decision was made to concentrate on the making of the 3rd album rather than release more singles from the 2nd as Mercury were happy with the sales figures off the back of just two singles.

She returned to the drawing board in 1998 for her third album. For this, she went to Los Angeles to work with producer Rhett Lawrence, most famous for his production of Mariah Carey's début album. The collaboration was originally intended only for three tracks, but they ended up recording a full album in Rhett's home studio.

In 2000, First Avenue Management entered into a crisis phase when most of their artists were dropped by their labels. Dina Carroll was also caught up in this, and left First Avenue at the end of 2000.

2001 briefly saw a revitalised Dina, with a new single and a greatest hits compilation released in the Spring and the Summer respectively. Carroll's cover version of Van Morrison's "Someone Like You", featured in the "Bridget Jones's Diary" soundtrack reached number 38. This wasn't helped due to the fact that Van Morrison's version is actually heard in the movie and Dina's cover tracklisted on the OST CD, which had already been available for 2 months and topped the compilation album charts. To fulfil her contractual obligations to Mercury, Carroll released The Very Best of Dina Carroll in June 2001. It entered the UK charts at No15, despite Dina only having released two studio albums to date.
