Anita Kelsey was born in Mitcham, England and began singing at a young age, developing a vocal style that would later be sought after by dance producers. Her first breakthrough came in 1997 when she collaborated with UK garage act Sunship, releasing the single "Try Me Out" which became a club hit and an Ayia Napa anthem in 2001, followed by the single "Try Me Out" in 1999. In 2004 she signed with BMG Music Publishing and released a series of singles, including "Come Around Again" and "Have 2B With U", establishing her presence on the European dance scene. Throughout the mid‑2000s, she worked with notable producers such as Markus Schulz on "First Time" in 2005 and TTLC on "Never Ever" in 2006, the latter receiving support from DJs Judge Jules and Sasha. Her vocal contributions appeared on film soundtracks, most prominently in Trevor Jones’ Dark City in 1998 and the 2009 horror film Long Time Dead. In 2009 Anita Kelsey transitioned to a career in feline behaviour, earning a first‑class honours degree from Middlesex University and publishing the book Claws: Confessions of a Cat Groomer in 2017. She has since been recognised with the Gerry Fowler prize in 2016 and the Global Health & Pharma award for Best Feline Behaviourist and Groomer in 2018.
