Sabrina Fredrica Washington (born 27 October 1978) is an English R&B recording artist, songwriter and dancer who rose to fame as the lead singer of the UK girl band Mis-Teeq. With the group Washington achieved a number of Top 10 hits in the UK and across Europe, and also had a Top 40 single in the USA with "Scandalous".
Washington released her debut single "OMG (Oh My Gosh)" on 5 April 2010, and appeared as a contestant on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2009 and became the winner of Celebrity Scissorhands in 2008. In 2012 she launched her own record label entitled Swash Music.
Washington was born in Harlesden, north London on 27 October 1978 and always had a big passion for music and would listen regularly to her parents' music collection as a child; this is where she believes her ability to sing and rap came from. Washington's career began in 1999, when she met Alesha Dixon and they joined Dance Attic (a popular dance class school in Fulham, west London), soon becoming a duo. In 2000, when both Alesha and Sabrina were auditioning, they met with Su-Elise Nash and formed a trio. They were signed to Inferno Records with the addition of a new member, Zena McNally, and became the popular UK Garage/R&B girl band, Mis-Teeq. However, after the release of their debut single "Why?", Zena McNally left the band to pursue her own solo career, and Mis-Teeq were signed to another record deal with Telstar Records.
Sabrina, Alesha, and Su-Elise released their debut album, Lickin' on Both Sides, in 2001. It featured the hits "All I Want", "One Night Stand", "B With Me" and "Roll On / This Is How We Do It". In 2003, they released their second album, Eye Candy featuring hits such as "Scandalous", "Can't Get it Back" and "Style". Following the two albums, they toured the United States in 2004 and released their American self-titled debut album Mis-Teeq, a compilation of the two albums Lickin' on Both Sides and Eye Candy.
