She released her first single, a cover of the Little Eva hit "The Loco-Motion", in 1987, which began a run of several dance orientated pop singles that topped the Australian charts. This provided her with a platform to launch herself upon the UK market where she also dominated. Her international breakthrough came with the release of the 2001 LP "Fever".

In April of 2022 he was appointed captain of the English Test team, and he was a vital member of the English team that would win the 2022 T20 World Cup.
