Taken from Aggro Santos' forthcoming album which will be released in the summer of 2010, Candy is a stand out smash. With his blistering mix of Brazilian Samba and UK Funk, Aggro has set himself apart from the current wave of chart-topping British talent.

From Balham, South London, Aggro started making music five years ago - a young 13-year-old having bought his first computer and music production software. His goal was to make himself a household name on the streets of London. Starting out as a budding producer, he went on to work with a host of British talent including DJ Ironik and Giggs, before proving himself as an extremely talented MC in his own right.

Having played to 20,000 people already and with a support tour with dance troupe Diversity coming up, its only time before everyone knows who Aggro is.
Kimberly Wyatt grew up in Warrensburg, Missouri and began dancing at the age of seven. At 14, the talented teen earned scholarships to the world-renowned Joffrey Ballet and Broadway Dance Centre, both based in New York. Then, in 2001, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in dancing, and it paid off. 2003 saw Kimberly bust her moves in the Black Eyed Peas video Shut Up, and she was soon spotted by Robin Antin, the founder of the Pussycat Dolls. The rest, as they say, is history...

The Grammy-nominated girl group sizzled onto the pop scene in 2005 with their debut album, PCD, and had a string of hits, including Don't Cha and Stick Wit U, both of which reached number one in the UK charts. Their success continued with the 2008 release of sophomore album, Dolls Domination, which featured the fiendishly catchy When I Grow Up. In 2009, the Pussycat Dolls accompanied Britney Spears on her comeback Circus tour.

Kimberly's signature dance move is the standing oversplit, which can be seen in many of the Dolls' videos.

The spotlight is firmly on Kimberly in 2010. Along with a planned solo music venture, she was a judge on Sky1 HD's Got to Dance alongside Adam Garcia and Ashley Banjo.
