Deborah Anne Dyer (aka "Skin") (born 3 August 1967 , Brixton , London , England ) was the lead vocalist of Britrock band Skunk Anansie . Now a solo artist, she released her debut album, " Fleshwounds " in 2003 . SKUNK ANANSIE Skin's career in music began in Skunk Anansie who were a multi-racial band often grouped as part of the Britrock movement in the UK. They were often noted as having Skin, a black, skinhead, female as their lead singer. Joining Skin in the line up for the band were Ace on guitar, Cass on bass guitar, and Mark on drums. After forming in 1994, the band released three albums. " Paranoid & Sunburnt ", " Stoosh " and " Post Orgasmic Chill " sold over 4 million copies worldwide. They are best known for their single "Weak", but have had a series of other hits including "Charity", "Hedonism" and "Charlie Big Potato". In 2001 the band decided to split. Ace released a solo album entitled "Still Hungry", Mark became a replacement drummer for the band Feeder and Skin went on to pursue a solo career. SOLO CAREER After Skunk Anansie split, Skin released her debut solo album " Fleshwounds ". The album was toned down from her Skunk Anansie days and seemingly Skunk Anansie fans never took to it. The album wasn't a massive success in the UK but three singles were released from it; "Trashed", "Faithfulness" and "Lost" (a double A-Side with "Getting Away With It"). Elsewhere in Europe, the album's success was greater. For example, in Italy it peaked at #6 in the album chart. In Germany, it peaked at #18. After releasing "Fleshwounds", Skin went on to perform various solo gigs around Europe. She was also support for the European leg of Robbie Williams' and Placebo's world tours. After touring, she began to record her second album, "Fake Chemical State" which will be released in March of 2006, preceded by a new single 'Just Let The Sun' on March 6th 2006. The first single from this album was "Alone In My Room", a download only track released on November 7th, 2005. "Alone in My Room" was also the name given to Skin's first UK solo tour in 2 years, which kicked off in Berlin on 4th November, 2005. Skin's next solo tour is a small promotional "Fake Chemical State" tour. It kicks off in Glasgow on March 17th, 2006. Her album Fake Chemical State is released on March 20th, 2006.
