'We're more interested in bringing joy into people's
lives than becoming incredibly famous,' said B*Witched back in the
spring of 1998. Almost two years later and the whole world has been jigging
to their infectious Irish-influenced pop. And the girls are not only incredibly
famous, they're superstars!
Hailing from Dublin, B*Witched are twin
sisters Edele and Keavy Lynch, Sinead O'Carroll and Lindsay
Armaou.
An appearance on a documentary about the dance
studios in which they rehearsed brought them to the attention of a manager.
And it was only a matter of time till a record company was also won over
by B*Witched's charms.
Their first UK single, C'est La Vie went
into the UK charts at number one, making them the youngest girl group ever
to do so. Soon breaking records became as natural as performing: their singles
Rollercoaster, To You I Belong and Blame It On The Weatherman
not only won them millions of fans across Europe, but also made them the
first ever act to have their first four singles go straight in the charts
at number one. Their debut album, B*Witched, went triple platinum
in the UK and has sold 3 million copies worldwide.
The girls have spent 1999 recording their second
album and charming the States where 'C'est La Vie' went top ten and
B*Witched' platinum. The girls have also completed two sell-out
tours with N-Sync and 98°.
'We don't really think about limits,' says Keavy.
'We're just busy enjoying the ride at the moment. We totally believe in the
power of pop music to raise people's spirits. If our music can do that, then
we're achieving our ambition.'
The B*Witched story continues with the release
of their fifth single, Jesse Hold On.
