Biography
Scottish actress and
singer Debbie Boyd began singing professionally in 1993
performing original material with a jazz/funk/soul band called "D&M
Control" in her
hometown of Aberdeen in Scotland before forming a rock group "Amoeba Red" again,
playing original material, with whom she sang for 4 years. She also played
many leading roles in local musical theatre productions and sang
with various function bands before deciding to move to London to attend
drama school. |

Upon graduation she was immediately signed up by Jae
Moss Enterprises and enjoyed a few years of diverse TV, film and theatre projects including the UK & Jersey tour of "What A Feeling!", the 80s Rock
and Pop show where she starred alongside

and Gwen Dickey (Rose Royce), playing the role originally played by
'Sonia'. |

Debbie proceeded to spread her wings
into the field of theatre production when she co-produced "Music
From The Last Century", a whirlwind tour of musical styles from 40s
swing to 80s pop, starring
Bonnie Langford and
Limahl (Kajagoogoo)
in which Debbie also featured as a vocalist accompanied by a 16 piece
rock and pop orchestra

Few performers escape Christmas
pantomime, and Debbie played many principal boys including ‘Dandini’ and
‘Dick Whittington’ before ‘retiring’ from panto and proceeding to spend
Christmas 2002 with Liberty Mounten, one of the world’s premier Elvis
tributes, in his UK and European Christmas Concerts tour.
Debbie also played

Whilst enjoying the theatre productions, Debbie missed the
creative freedom of singing her own choice of songs, in her own way,
so she jumped at the opportunity to become the lead vocalist with "Rhythm Rising" a latino,
soul and funk band,
resident at the Dover St Wine Bar.
In addition to fronting the band vocally, Debbie was also trained to
play some percussion instruments, a skill which she has continued to
develop ever since. |

 |
In 2003, Debbie was invited to become a partner and
lead vocalist in a busy live function band called Sahara
and in 2007, Debbie launched The Debbie
Boyd Band, which is fast becoming one of the most sought after bands in
the UK for private and corporate functions.
