Artist: Hazell Dean
Genre: Hi-NRG/Dance Pop
Hazell Dean is a British singer who became one of the most successful hi-NRG and dance-pop artists of the 1980s. Her energetic productions, created with the Stock Aitken Waterman team and other producers, made her a favorite in clubs and on pop charts. Her biggest hits included 'Searchin' (I Gotta Find a Man),' 'Whatever I Do (Wherever I Go),' 'Who's Leaving Who,' and 'Turn It into Love.' Dean's powerful voice and the pounding hi-NRG beats of her recordings made her an icon of 1980s dance music, particularly within the gay club scene where hi-NRG originated. She was one of the first artists to achieve success through the PWL/Stock Aitken Waterman production style that would dominate late 1980s British pop. Dean continued performing on the retro circuit, beloved by fans of classic hi-NRG.
