Timeline

1978

Alesha Anjanette Dixon (born 7 October 1978) is an English singer, rapper, dancer, television personality, and author.

Alesha Anjanette Dixon was born on 7 October 1978 in Welwyn Garden City to a Jamaican father, Melvin Dixon, and Scottish mother, Beverly Harris.

Dixon has six half-siblings.

She was educated at Monk's Walk School, Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire.

Dixon's parents separated when she was four and her father moved away, resulting in her later describing her family life as "very dysfunctional".

1999

Dixon's career began in 1999 when she met Sabrina Washington as they both joined a dance school in Fulham, south west London.

Together, they decided to form a group when Dixon and Washington, the two co-founders, spotted Su-Elise Nash, a girl auditioning for another group.

Dixon and Washington proposed that Nash join the group and together they formed a trio.

They were soon signed to Telstar Records with the addition of a new member, Zena McNally, and became the popular UK garage/R&B girl group, Mis-Teeq.

2000

She rose to fame in the early 2000s as a member of the garage, R&B and hip hop group Mis-Teeq, who had seven UK top 10 hits, two top 10 double platinum albums, and sold over 12 million records worldwide.

In October 2000, Dixon, then relatively unknown, featured on the single "Rumours" by Damage, which charted modestly at number 22 on the UK Singles Chart.

The genre of the track departed from the group's R&B style, in favour of a garage-based sound, however, the tepid reaction from fans ensured Damage did not venture further into garage.

2001

In January 2001, Mis-Teeq released their first single, "Why".

The track remained commercially unnoticed until a garage remix was produced and the track charted at number 8 in January of that year.

Two separate music videos for the song were filmed, accompanying the different versions of the song.

The song's success coincided with Zena McNally's departure; McNally later alleged that friction between herself and Washington was a factor.

Mis-Teeq, continuing as a trio, then released "All I Want", which charted even more successfully at number 2, behind Shaggy's "Angel".

In October 2001, they released their debut album Lickin' On Both Sides, featuring hits "One Night Stand", "B with Me" and double A-side single "Roll On/This Is How We Do It".

2002

In 2002, Mis-Teeq performed and received a nomination at the BRIT Awards in Earls Court, later in the year band won the MOBO Award for Best Garage Act.

2003

After the success of their debut album, 2003 saw Mis-Teeq becoming the faces of JD Sports stores nationwide.

In 2003, Mis-teeq released their second album Eye Candy, which included the singles "Scandalous", "Can't Get It Back" and "Style".

2004

In 2004, Mis-Teeq toured the United States and released their debut single "Scandalous" from their American self-titled debut, a compilation of the albums Lickin' On Both Sides and Eye Candy.

In 2004, Dixon went to feature in the N.E.R.D music video "She Wants to Move".

2005

After Mis-Teeq disbanded in 2005, Dixon pursued a career as a solo artist, signing a recording contract with Polydor Records.

2006

She released her debut solo album, Fired Up, in 2006, but due to poor record sales of its first two singles, "Lipstick" and "Knockdown", she was dropped from Polydor.

2007

In 2007, Dixon was a contestant on the fifth series of the BBC One dancing competition show Strictly Come Dancing, which she won with dance partner Matthew Cutler.

Her television exposure led to a successful musical comeback, which included her signing to Asylum Records.

2008

In 2008, she released her second album, The Alesha Show, which was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry, and respectively 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 has also written children's books, including the best-selling novel series Lightning Girl.

Between the ages of eight and ten, Dixon witnessed her mother suffer domestic violence from her partner; she only spoke publicly about the issue 21 years later, in 2010.

Dixon created a documentary for the BBC, Don't Hit My Mum, regarding the issue of domestic abuse from a child's perspective, and remarked upon her own childhood: "When I think about that time, I don't remember living in harmony, I don't remember any fun times, I suppose because the negativity has clouded it. The negative times and the scary times have blocked anything that was good ... I believe that every child has the right to grow up in an environment where they feel secure and fearless going into the world, and I didn't really feel that".

Dixon's first job was at Ladbrokes, although she aspired to become a PE teacher after leaving college.

After completing a diploma course in sports studies, she had planned to take up a place at Loughborough University, but at dance classes in London she was approached by a talent scout from a production company.

While travelling back home on the train she was approached by another scout who was forming a group and asked if she was interested.
