"I have never claimed to be Miss Hip and I never tried to appeal to an avant-garde audience with a green streak in my hair, a bag over my head and songs about living couches. Some entertainers lose their way because they're always trying to make a statement with their music or trying to be cool enough to be in with the Rolling Stones crowd. Well, that was never me. So sue me; I'm a pop singer. People bounce along in their cars to my songs and that's good enough for me."
-- Quoted in The Orange County Register, December 22, 1991

Inspired to become a singer after she saw Barbra Streisand in The Way We Were, Sheena Easton graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in 1979. Two years later, she had recorded two albums, and won her first Grammy award. That award was for Best New Artist, and her next one, four years later, was for Best Mexican or American Performance.

Since pursuing acting, Sheena has appeared in Outer Limits, Highlander, Miami Vice, and on Broadway, where she played Rizzo in Grease. She also appeared as herself in the Robert Redford film, Indecent Proposal. Most recently, she did the voice of Sasha in All Dogs Go To Heaven II.

Easton is perhaps most famous for singing the title track, "For Your Eyes Only" for the James Bond movie, and for the hit "Morning Train (Nine to Five)." Her duet with Kenny Rogers, "We've Got Tonight," reached number one on US country charts. Other duets have featured The Artist, James Ingram, Peabo Bryson, and Roberta Flack.

The 39 year-old artist has two adopted children, Jake and Skylar, but, divorced three times, has not been lucky in love. Sheena's birthday is the 27th of April. She was born Sheena Shirley Orr, in Bellshill, Scotland.
