"People see that I have my own voice, my own opinion, my own likes. The album really reflects that."
-Deborah Cox
|
 |
| She's got a diva's voice minus any of the pretentious attitude. She's down-to-earth, when she has every reason not to be. |
 |
| Among her incredible successes are "Nobody's Supposed To Be Here", a Billboard R&B No.1 single for 14 weeks, "Sentimental", "Where Do We Go From Here", "Things Just Ain't the Same", and "Who Do U Love". |

Deborah Cox was born in 1974, in Toronto, Canada. Although she never actually met her biological father, she considers the man that her Guyanese mother Jeanette married, as her real father.
A shy child, Deborah was raised with a love for music, thanks to her family's strong musical roots. Like many other R&B singers, Deborah's love for music was triggered by Gladys Knight, Billie Holiday and Al Green records, which belonged to her mother, but it was Gladys that especially turned her on to music at the age of 6.
While studying at Catholic school, Deborah was the all-around student, enjoying extra-curricular activities such as track & field and journalism. Apparently getting over her incredible shyness, Deborah took her vocal talent and passion to the stage of a local TV talent showcase, which she won at age 11.
Moving up the music industry ladder, Deborah went from singing commercial jingles, to working with bands in her area. Before she knew it, she was performing at local nightclubs until the wee hours of the night, learning the behind-the-scenes business side of music, and attending Claude Watson School for the Performing Arts, specializing in classical music and jazz.
Once Deborah met up with Lascelles Stephens in 1989 -- old friend, bassist, songwriter, and now husband and manager -- the pair literally made music together by working on a four-song demo. They presented the demo to Canadian record labels, that simply sent Deborah rejection letter upon rejection letter, but her break arrived when she was hired as Celine Dion's backup vocalist. |
