Best known for her international singles with German producer André Tanneberger (a.k.a. ATB) and for her work with British producer Don Jackson (a.k.a. Headstrong), Matt Darey, and Cosmic Gate.

Lacey is the performer with the highest number of officially released collaborations within the EDM genres so far.

Lacey started singing when she was 16 years old.

A few years later, she began working as a backing singer for the band "Falling Man".

They recorded an album and gigged regularly until they eventually disbanded.

Then she started fronting a blues/rock band touring locally in the South East.

However, she felt the need to develop her songwriting capabilities in her own right, so she left the band, but yet teamed up with one of its members.

They recorded several songs and had interest from both Virgin and EMI, but broke up soon after.

Lacey joined "Frankenstein's Baby", an indie/folk band.

They recorded several songs, and performed regularly at the "Mean Fiddler".

Lacey later worked with ATB again for the albums Seven Years: 1998-2005 (2005) and Future Memories (2009).

After sending a demo, she was chosen among many by English DJ Paul Oakenfold to record the vocals for his song "Hypnotised", which was included on his 2002 album "Bunkka", and with the single release the next year.

It became an international club and radio hit, reaching No. 17 on the Finland Singles Chart and No. 41 on Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart in the United States.

It was then followed by another dance music collaboration, the single "In Your Hands" with Chris Dececio (a.k.a. Redd Square).

In 2003, Lacey performed live with The Thrillseekers and also provided vocals for their single "Affinity".

In 2004, when she was included on four tracks from ATB's album No Silence, including "Marrakech" (which was featured on the soundtrack of Renny Harlin's movie "Mindhunters"), charted No. 2 in Hungary, No. 14 in Finland, No. 38 in Germany and No. 50 in Austria.

Her single "Ecstasy" featured in the Keenen Ivory Wayans comedy film White Chicks, and charted at No. 11 in the UK, No. 1 in Bulgaria, No. 2 in Hungary, No. 43 in Germany, and No. 62 in Austria.

In 2005, she recorded vocals for Filo & Peri's techno single "Dance with a Devil", which was remixed by Serge Devant and DJ Shog.

She and Headstrong (a.k.a. Don Jackson) recorded singles including "Close Your Eyes" (2005), "Show Me The Love" (2006), "The Truth", and "Symphony Of Soul" (2007).

In 2005, her first collaboration with Lost Witness, called "Home", was voted Future Favorite on Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance No. 322 show.

She later worked again with Lost Witness on the singles "Love Again" and "Coming Down".

Lacey got in touch with Jackson via another collaborator, Matt Darey (who contributed a remix for "Close Your Eyes"), with whom she recorded the track "Always" in 2006, which was followed by "Sum Of All Fears" (2007) and "Into The Blue" (2010).

In 2006, Lacey collaborated for the first time with Cosmic Gate.

Their first track, called "Should've Known", was included on the duo's album Earth Mover and was also released as a single with remixes from Wippenberg, Jonas Steur, and DJ Delicious.

Wippenberg wanted Lacey for the track "Promisedland" the next year, which was remixed by Nic Chagall.

In 2007, Lacey and Russian DJ Bobina recorded the track "Where Did You Go", which was included on his album "Again".

The track was remixed by Dutch DJ Sander van Dien (a.k.a. First State).

This was followed by a collaboration between van Dien and Lacey called "Where Do We Go", included on his album "Time Frame".

2007 also marked the singer's first collaboration with Tom Cloud – the track "Secretly", which was released on the A State Of Trance label.

She recorded a vocal electronic album with Huw Williams in 2007 and it was released in 2008 under their alias name Rubikon and titled "Wonderland".

The album featured 11 original recordings.

Three of them, "Thing Called Love", "Why Keep On" and "Telephone" were released as singles with remixes by Morgan Page and Hakan Ludvigson.

In 2008, she recorded two tracks with the trance duo Matt Abbott and Chris Chambers (a.k.a. Abbott & Chambers) titled "Where Are You" and "Strange Liaison".

The tracks were released with remixes by Nitrous Oxide, Cressida, Carl B, Dennis Sheperd, David & Carr, Onova, Allan O' Marshall, and Karl G.

These were in the Uplifting trance genre, after being included mainly on Progressive trance and Dance before that.
