Tina Cousins

Tina Cousins achieved global success with the anthemic single 'Mysterious Times' alongside German DJ Sash, which reached No. 2 in the UK charts and went on to be a worldwide smash hit.Tina then went on to prove herself to be a talented and exciting artist in her own right, hitting the charts in the UK and Europe as well as being phenomenally popular in Australia, with singles Pray,Forever,Just around the hill,and followed by her albam"Killing Time"
Big Records signed Tina for Australia and released her new single 'Wonderful Life' in June, a cover of the 1987 Black classic. The single features a dance version as well as a superb ballad version which pays homage to the original tune. Soon after, Big Records released Tina’s follow-up album 'Mastermind'.
Whilst Tina Cousins is famous for her dance records, her tastes and influences aren't limited to just pop and dance music. This can be heard in her upcoming recordings. "I always try to get the vocals on my tracks as soulful-sounding as possible because that's the kind of stuff I really enjoy listening to myself," she says. "George Benson was my hero as a child and I used to listen to his stuff all the time on my old record player in my room. I really love his voice and that really influenced me a lot. With most of my tracks, the vocals are very strong and I like to think that you could take them off the dance tracks and either put them on a ballad or just sing them raw and live with just a guitar or a piano for an even better effect.
With such a glamorous image it's hard to imagine Tina looking anything less than stunning but she's had her moments. "I was performing alongside Sash at a gig in Germany and came running out onto stage to make a big entrance at the start of 'Mysterious Times', but the stage was wet so I slipped and slid right across the floor on my bum, with my skirt up round my waist before landing in the audience!" she laughs. "It was so embarrassing but I had to just laugh it off and get straight back on stage and carry on singing. I had big bruises all across my bum for days after that."
Fortunately, when she's not rushing from club gig to club gig, or to and from the studio, Tina has somewhere quiet to get away from it all. "I live in a beautiful colonial-styled house overlooking the sea in Leigh-on-Sea in Essex, where I grew up and it's lovely to have somewhere so calm and relaxing to escape from everything that goes with promoting a single," Tina says. "I've planted up the garden and I even did a lot of the renovations on the house myself, which I'm proud of. Leigh-on-Sea is a lovely small town on the coast of Essex and it's famous for oysters, cockles and seafood. There's an oyster bed right on the beach in front of my house and sometimes friends and I go out there to pick oysters for a treat. There's also a colony of seals on the sand banks that you can swim out to or just watch from the garden."
‘Wonderful Life’ was released last year and was the 3rd most played song on australian radio and stayed in the top 20 for 4 months,also knocking Madonna from the no1 slot in the uk dance chart(all around the world) Her new single "Pretty young thing" is set to be a smash hit !!!
