Rozalla

Rozalla Miller was born on 18 March 1964 in Ndola, then Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia). She grew up in Zimbabwe, where she began her career and scored local hits with her first singles in the 1980s.

Spotted by British producer Christopher Sergeant, who became her manager, she moved to London in 1988. Her international breakthrough came in 1991 with the worldwide hit Everybody's Free (To Feel Good), which reached No. 6 on the UK charts and No. 37 on the US Billboard Hot 100 the following year. That track, along with Faith (In the Power of Love) and Are You Ready To Fly, helped establish her image as the “Queen of Rave” and appeared on her debut album “Everybody’s Free” (1992).

Her career features several notable collaborations and highlights: she opened all shows on Michael Jackson’s “Dangerous” tour. In 1994 she recorded the theme I Love Music for the film Carlito’s Way, which also entered the UK Top 20. Other UK hits included “Baby”, “This Time I Found Love” and “You Never Love The Same Way Twice”. Her second album, “Look No Further”, was released in 1995.

After a stint with Epic that did not meet expectations, Rozalla returned in 1998 with the album “Coming Home”, reuniting with Band of Gypsies. The lead single, Don't Go Lose It Baby, became a club hit in the United States. She later collaborated with electronic artists and producers such as Plastic Boy on the trance track Live Another Life (2003), and with Flip 'n Fill, Phat 'n Phunky and Richard Humpty Vission.

The classic Everybody's Free (To Feel Good) saw several revivals: a remix entered the UK Top 40 in 1996, the song enjoyed unexpected success in Germany in 2002, and a remix by Global Deejays reached No. 7 in Australia in 2009. In 2005 her track All Or Nothing also became a significant club hit.

Under her full name Rozalla Miller she released the 2009 album “Brand New Version”, which leans toward a jazz and soul sound; the critically praised record includes new songs, covers and a jazz version of her signature hit. That same year she opened dates on Billy Ocean’s UK tour.
