Cleopatra Madonna Higgins, a.k.a. Cleo, is an R&B/soul/pop singer, dancer, songwriter and actress based in Manchester, England. Higgins was the lead singer of the eponymously named sister act, Cleopatra.
In 2000, Higgins branched out from Cleopatra and recorded two duets with tenor Russell Watson. The first song, "Someone Like You" was featured on Watson's multi-platinum debut album The Voice which climbed to No. 1 on the U.S classical charts. Higgins and Watson performed the song both on tour and on the National Lottery and they collaborated a second time, recording another duet called "The Best That Love Can Be" for Watson's third album, Reprise. In 2001, Higgins headlined the Young Voices in Concert tour, performing at the Manchester Arena in front of 15,000 people as she and almost 7,000 choir members set a new Guinness World Record for the largest choir assembled in the UK. The performance was aired on the BBC's long-standing programme Songs of Praise. In 2002 Higgins participated in ITV1's Songs of Bond, a tribute to the songs of James Bond where she covered For Your Eyes Only. In 2007 Higgins released her pilot solo single "Feelin' Like This". She has toured with Joe Budden, Russell Watson, Jagged Edge, Blue, Girls Aloud and also embarked on a university tour. Higgins has covered Kym Sims' "Too Blind To See It". Higgins has worked as a brand ambassador for CoverGirl
