Biography

Successful Eurodance act produced by Italian producers [a=Larry Pignagnoli] and [a=Davide Riva]. Whigfield scored a UK #1 hit with "Saturday Night" in 1994, being the first foreign debuting artist to have done so, as certified by the Guinness Book of World Records. Next to five studio albums Whigfield released a large number of singles and also some compilation albums. After years of denials, it was finally confirmed that [a=Annerley Gordon], known as recording artist [a=Ann Lee], was the vocalist on the Whigfield project: On 22 March 2019, Off Limits, Whigfield's label for almost twenty years, posted on Facebook, "Annerley Gordon, better known as Ann Lee, is one of the most well-known dance characters in the 90s. She wrote together with Ivana Spagna "Try Me Out" and "I Don't Wanna Be a Star" for Corona and participated as a voice and author in numerous dance projects such as Whigfield, J.K., Charme and many others." The claims were casually confirmed in 2021 on YouTube channel MDT Radio by Mauro Farina, an Italian record producer, who was asked by a Spanish journalist if Ann Lee, with whom he had collaborated multiple times, was the voice behind other songs such as "I Drove All Nite" by Bandido. He responded, "Yes, yes, my dear friend Annerley Gordon, who also did Whigfield. She lent her voice for Whigfield, and it was a worldwide success." Afterwards, Gordon updated her profile on Instagram, introducing herself as "the vocalist and songwriter behind hundreds of dance and eurobeat songs, including Ann Lee and Whigfield."
