Javine Hylton
Javine Dionne Hylton (born 27 December 1981), often known mononymously as Javine, is an English former singer and songwriter. She gained recognition on ITV's Popstars: The Rivals and represented the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 with "Touch My Fire". Javine's cover version of "You've Got a Friend" was the theme music to Garfield: The Movie in 2004.
Hylton was born in Kensington and grew up in Ladbroke Grove.
From a young age, she had a passion for dance: "I didn't like singing. I started stage school at 10, because at my normal school, there were always fights. So I thought, what do I want to do? I want to dance."
For two years, Hylton played Nala in a production of The Lion King in London's West End. Following the end of the run, she began writing songs and pursuing a career in music.
She auditioned for ITV's Popstars: The Rivals, a reality television talent show in which young hopefuls sought to be picked for a place in a new manufactured group.
She was one of the last six contenders for a place in the girl group, but she lost out on a spot in what later became the chart-topping group Girls Aloud. She instead embarked on a solo singing career.
In the summer of 2003, Hylton released her debut single "Real Things", which featured a sample of M.O.P.'s hit "Ante Up". The single charted in the UK Singles Chart at Number 4, and remains her biggest hit to date. Three further Top 20 hits from her debut album followed, "Surrender (Your Love)" (which sampled the Diana Ross hit "Surrender"), "Best of My Love" and a cover of Jade's "Don't Walk Away", a double A-side with a cover of Carole King's "You've Got a Friend".
Hylton's debut album, Surrender, was released after her third single in the summer of 2004. In spite of securing a songwriting partnership with Eg White, and record producers Stargate, along with the singles performing relatively well, her debut album only just managed to get into the UK Albums Chart and as a result she was dropped by her record label in late 2004, despite the moderate success of the album's singles that were released on their own.
