Made in London
Made in London was a pop group made up of three members, British Kelly Bryant and Sherene Dyer, and Norwegian Marianne Eide, who released several records in 2000.
Despite wide publicity, particularly surrounding their second single, "Shut Your Mouth", combined with a certain amount of internet-based success[1], their only chart hit was "Dirty Water" which reached number 15 in the UK Singles Chart in May 2000.[2] Following the failed release of "Wishing Well", a cover version of the 1987 Terence Trent D'Arby song, the group disbanded.
Australian girl group Bardot later covered "Dirty Water" for their second album, Play It Like That.
An album, 'Perfect Storm' was planned to be released after "Shut Your Mouth". However as "Shut Your Mouth" failed to do well in the charts (UK #74[2]), the album was cancelled before its release. Some copies managed to get out as bootlegs.
Former member Sherene Dyer is now known professionally as Sherii Ven Dyer. Ven Dyer is currently persuing solo endeavors, after sufficient time spent honing her craft in Europe and in the mecca of urban music; Atlanta. Through this international yet invaluable experience, she has grown to become an adept producer, along with an equally strong songwriting prowess.
On September 29, 2010 several brand new songs circulated on Ven Dyer's MySpace account. One of which is the rousing-reggae-tinged track "Mek Yuh My Man" (Hold Yuh Riddim), which samples the relatively moderate Billboard hit "Hold You" by Gyptian.
