About Heather Small
Heather Small is a London-born singer who came to prominence fronting M People, the Manchester group founded by DJ and producer Mike Pickering. Alongside 'Moving On Up', the band's run of hits included 'One Night in Heaven' and 'Search for the Hero', and their album Elegant Slumming won the Mercury Prize.
