M People
Founder of the electro-dance label DeConstruction, DJ Mike Pickering formed the
M People trio in 1990 with singer Heather Small and Paul Heard (keyboards,
programming). After a few singles with warm, soulful vocals ("Colour My Life",
"How Can I Love You More?", "One Night In Heaven"), the group, reinforced by
percussionist Shovell (Andrew Lovell), recorded the album Northern Soul (1991).

cemented M People's reputation in clubs the world over and won the Mercury Prize
over Pulp. Named Best Dance Group...
