Biography

Miriam Stockley is an English singer, born (ca. 1962) in Johannesburg, South Africa.

At the age of eleven, Stockley and her older sister Avryl formed a group, the Stockley Sisters. Later in her life, she moved to London to further pursue her musical career. There, she contributed vocals to several albums, and TV commercials. She sang some songs in African and had some African Instrumental songs in her albums.

During the late eighties and early nineties, Stockley worked as a session singer for the UK song writing and production trio; Stock, Aitken and Waterman. Stockley featured on tracks by the likes of Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Sonia. Alongside fellow session singer Mae McKenna, Stockley is credited with being partly responsible for the distinctive Stock, Aitken and Waterman sound of the eighties.

Stockley provided backing vocals for the United Kingdom’s Eurovision Song Contest entry on several occasions, most notably with Emma in 1990 and for Katrina and the Waves when they won in Dublin in 1997.

In 1991, Stockley became a part of the dance group Praise whose single “Only You” reached number two on the UK charts. Later, she was the vocalist for Adiemus with Karl Jenkins.

Stockley has been featured on several film soundtracks, including her cover of the Rose Royce song “Wishing on a Star”, which appears on The 10th Kingdom soundtrack.

    Perfect day is just wonderful, it reminds me of my childhood. The piano in the beginning of the song makes you want to hear more of the song, like it wants to tell something.
