Brenda K. Starr started her career by making a demo of Stacy Lattisaw’s “Love On A Two Way Street”. She started hanging out in places where she felt someone was bound to hear her. In the early 80’s, Brenda then helped out picking up cups at a local roller skating rink in NYC, where she bumped into Harry Bellafonte. She then landed a dancing & singing role in his 1984 breakdancing film: “BEAT STREET”. Not long after, at the age of 18, she was signed to Mirage Records, & released her 1985 debut album “I WANT YOUR LOVE”, which included the Freestyle classic “Pickin’ Up Pieces”, as well as “Suspicion” (featuring rap by Adam Yauch of The Beastie Boys), and the title track that was a remake of Chic’s Disco hit. Brenda later was signed to MCA Records, and shortly after released her 2nd album in 1987 simply titled “BRENDA K. STARR”. This album turned Brenda into an international star & she got to tour with many artists including New Kids On The Block. The album contained the singles “What You See Is What You Get”, “Breakfast In Bed”, & the Billboard Top-20 hit “I Still Beleive”. It also had the Freestyle jam “Over & Over” which was later re-done by Pajama Party in 1989, & “You Should Be Loving Me” which appeared on the soundtrack & movie “SHE’S OUT OF CONTROL” starring Tony Danza. Brenda also had a song called “Sata” in the film & soundtrack to “LAMBADA”. Around this time, she had become great friends with her then back-up singer & godmother to her 1st daughter, Mariah Carey.
