About Me


Roxy was born in 1979 and is the third of Marty Wilde's children to enter the music business.
Roxy's first recording was at the age of 15 for brother Ricky's Earthboy project. After leaving school Roxy attended Oakland College Welwyn where she met Morgan Quaintance. Together they formed a band who were signed by Polydor. They were joined by Tom Hanna on Bass and Joe Holweger on Drums. It was 1999 and Dimestars were born.
Dimestars' first single was released in October 2000 but did not chart. In March/April 2001 the band supported Kylie Minogue on her Light Years Tour of the UK, which included 6 sell out shows at London's Hammersmith Apollo.
My Superstar only reached No.72 in the charts the following June which spelt the end for the band. An album Living For The Weekend was never released.
Roxy has now embarked on a solo career which has seen her emulate the chart success of her Dad and Sister. Destination recorded as part of the DT8 project reached No.23 in May 2003.November 2003 saw the release of Our Lips are Sealed through Wall of Sound. Roxy appeared as vocalist on the Go-Go's hit recorded by Jon Pleased aka The Visitor.
In 2005 Roxy signed to Wall of Sound and recorded demos with The Visitor for her debut album.
Since her departure from Wall of Sound in 2006 Roxy has attended several writers retreats with many influential songwriters, which have included Rob Davies and Pascal Gabriel, and is writing and working on creating her own sound for a solo album.
In February and March 2007 Roxy performed in France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Denmark, Luxembourg and Slovakia as backing vocalist for her sister Kim. And joined her Dad as special guest on his Born To Rock N’ Roll 50th Anniversary Tour, which included a sell out show at The London Palladium.
Roxy continues to write and record her own songs and in 2008 will again be joining Kylie Minogue on stage, this time as a backing vocalist for Kylie on her European, UK and World Tour.
