Timeline

1969

Brenda Claudina Susan Edwards (' Artman'''; born 2 March 1969) is an English singer, actress, television personality and presenter.

Brenda Claudina Susan Artman was born on 2 March 1969 in Luton, Bedfordshire, to an Afro-Caribbean family.

1974

Edwards and her older brother Rodney were raised by relatives following the death of their parents in a car crash on 22 December 1974.

Her grandmother, who was a member of the local Pentecostal church, encouraged her granddaughter to attend when she was eight, and Edwards soon discovered a love of music and singing, which led to joining Sunday school junior choir, and soon became the choir mistress, as well as a member of the Pentecostal Collective Church of God in Christ (COGIC) mass choir.

Edwards eventually made the move from gospel to secular music, and at 18 she sang at local night clubs, weddings, funerals and bar mitzvahs.

Prior to finding a successful entertainment career, Edwards worked full-time in accounts.

1990

Edwards had two children, Jamal (1990–2022) and Tanisha, from a previous relationship.

This was followed by performances of "Rescue Me" and "Midnight Train to Georgia".

Performances of "I'm Outta Love" and "I'll Never Love This Way Again" won her a place in the semi-final, where she was voted out after her renditions of "Respect" and "Without You" with just 23 votes separating her and the act in third place.
