Deee-Lite was comprised of three members. Lady Miss Kier, the lead singer, met Super DJ Dmitry Brill in New York. They started dating and got swept up in the New York dance music scene. They met DJ Towa Tei at a club and thus the group was formed. The group was known for its positive world-unifying message and ‘70s-inspired fashion aesthetic.

Dee-Lite dropped three albums in quick succession—World Clique (1990), Infinity Within (1992), and Dewdrops in the Garden (1994). Their biggest hit came at the beginning however—“Groove Is In The Heart” from their debut album was a major hit worldwide.

The group dissolved in 1996 due to creative differences. All three now mainly work as headlining club DJs, with Lady Miss Kier also doing side work as a fashion consultant and public speaker.
