Sophie Ellis-Bextor was born in 1979 in London to Robin Bextor (a director/producer who has made videos for Bow Bow Wow, Adam Ant, Air, The Damned, and UB40) and Janet Ellis (author and TV personality who hosted the long-running British children's show Blue Peter for several years). She began her professional music career singing lead in the india band Theaudience, during which time Melody Maker readers voted her #5 in "most sexy people in rock". The band split in 1999, and Sophie collaborated with Italian DJ Spiller on the #1 hit track "Groovejet". In 2001, her debut album Read My Lips spawned four top 20 singles. One, "Murder on the Dancefloor", became Europe's most played song of 2002. The song was written in 1994 by New Radicals frontman Gregg Alexander when his Ford Mustang wouldn't start. Realizing he would not be able to go to the Detroit clubs that night, Gregg reached for an acoustic guitar in the backset and began to sing, "It's murder on the dancefloor, but you better not kill the groove." He later told The Guardian that it was "just a dummy lyric that was kind of sung for fun, but then I couldn't better it." He was going to inclue the song in the the New Radicals' sole studio album but ultimately chose instead to record "You Get What You Give". Three years later, he moved to Notting Hill and gave Sophie his unfinished demo. They retooled parts of the song and completed the lyrics together later that year. Over twenty years later, the song's heavy prominence in the Netflix film Saltburn broke it back into the Billboard Hot 100 and UK Single Charts. Sophie is married to Richard Jones, frontman for the UK indie band The Feeling, and the couple have five children.
