[edit] Biography
Washington's career begins in 1999, when she met Alesha Dixon and they joined Dance Attic (a popular dance class school in West London), and they became a duo. In 2000, when both Alesha and Sabrina were auditioning, they soon met with Su-Elise Nash, and formed a trio. Soon, they were signed to Inferno Records with the addition of a new member, Zena McNally, and they became the popular Garage/R&B girl band, Mis-Teeq. However, right after the release of their debut single "Why?", Zena McNally left the band to pursue her own solo career, and Mis-Teeq was signed to a higher 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" (a song that rose to fame in Europe and United States), "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, featuring such hits as "Scandalous" and "One Night Stand".
Telstar Records soon went backrupt and the band joined with Universal Recording Co. only to agree to release a greatest hits album and depart ways.
In 2005, they released a greatest hits compilation that contained all of the hits they released on both audio and video from Lickin' On Both Sides and Eye Candy . The last song they recorded together was "Shoo Shoo Baby", a song that was released for the Disney animated film Valiant. It was also a bonus track with the Greatest Hits album.
