Biography
Geneviève Alison Jane Moyet ( MOY-ay; born 18 June 1961), formerly known as Alf, is an English singer-songwriter.

Highlighting a career that has achieved a top 10 UK album across 5 different decades, all of Moyet's ten studio albums and three compilation albums have charted in the top 30 of the UK Albums Chart, (with two of them reaching number one), and she has had several top-10 hits on the UK singles chart.
