Tracey Thorn (born September 26, 1962, in Brookmans Park, Hertfordshire) is an English pop singer and songwriter. She is best known as being one half of the duo Everything but the Girl.
She grew up in Hatfield, Hertfordshire and studied English at the University of Hull, where she graduated in 1984 with First Class Honours. She lives with her EBTG partner Ben Watt in North London. The couple have twin daughters born in 1998, and a son born in 2001.
Career:
Marine Girls (1980-1983)
Thorn began her musical career in the group Marine Girls. The band released two albums (Beach Party in 1981 and Lazy Ways in 1982) and several singles. The group disbanded when Thorn decided to concentrate on Everything but the Girl.
Everything but the Girl (1982-2002)
Thorn and Ben Watt met at University when they were both signed separately, as solo artists, to Cherry Red Records. Their first album together was Eden, released in 1984. As a band, Everything but the Girl released a body of work that spanned two decades. Their biggest chart success came in 1994, when DJ Todd Terry remixed a song from their Amplified Heart album. “Missing” became a huge hit all over the world, especially in the U.S., where it reached number two in the Billboard Hot 100.
Everything but the Girl has been on extended hiatus since 2002. Watt has concentrated on his DJ work, and Thorn has been raising their children and writing and recording a solo album.
