She was born in the Middle East, but raised in South London. Her father's love for classical jazz was a powerful influence in her music. Atkins' father is a jazz trumpet player, and she started to perform as a balladeer with her father in clubs when she was 13. Paul Oakenfold and Steve Osborne were impressed by her singing, and she joined them in the dance group Grace in 1995.
