One of the most instantly recognisable voices of the 90s, singer Heather Small was born in west London in 1965. A chance meeting with Hacienda DJ Mike Pickering led to the formation of M People, who went on to sell more than 10m records of uplifting dance pop. After the birth of her son, James, with rugby player and coach Shaun Edwards, she released a solo album, Proud. James is now the Labour party candidate for Bayswater ward in Westminster, and is on Labour’s Future Candidates Programme. Heather’s solo tour begins on 17 March.

M People’s Heather Small has spoken about the “positive, hard work” immigrants bring to the UK, in a new interview with NME. Taking part in Does Rock ‘N’ Roll Kill Braincells?!, Small spoke about the time Boris Johnson referenced the lyrics to M People’s 1994 hit ‘Search for the Hero’ while talking about his experience of COVID-19 and subsequent weight loss mission.

I went for the 2019 Year of Return when they invited the diaspora to come home. I’d never been to west Africa – my family came from Barbados, because of enslavement. This trip was eye-opening because I saw a link between the people of the Caribbean and west Africa: my grandmother used to carry crates of drinks on her head, and in Ghana I saw people doing the same. In Barbados we have cou-cou – which is cornmeal presented in a dome. In Ghana it’s in a ball shape. I don’t like Ghana’s stance on LGBTQ+ rights, but being back where we began resonated deeply. I learnt the word akwaaba, which means welcome.
