The Honeyz are one of the United Kingdom’s best-selling R&B pop groups, known for their string of chart successes between 1998 and 2000. Achieving five Top Ten hits in the UK and reaching number one in Australia, the trio quickly established themselves as a defining act of late 1990s pop and R&B. Led by founding member Celena Cherry, they built a reputation for a sound that was sensual, sophisticated and always polished, appealing to a wide audience both at home and internationally.
Their music career began with a strong impact, as their debut single 'Finally Found' climbed to number four in the UK Singles Chart and achieved Platinum certification. This success was quickly followed by 'End of the Line', which sold around 350,000 copies and further cemented their popularity. Their debut album 'Wonder No. 8' sold over 200,000 copies, earning a Gold certification in the UK. Across their career, they have amassed an estimated five million record sales worldwide, reflecting their broad appeal across markets including Australia, Asia and Northern Europe. Notably, they were also the first British girl group to be signed by Def Jam Records in the United States.
The Honeyz specialise in a blend of R&B, pop and soul, delivering memorable tracks that remain popular today. Songs such as 'End of the Line', 'Love of a Lifetime', 'Won’t Take It Lying Down' and 'Never Let You Down' showcase their smooth harmonies and stylish production. Their music defined a particular era while maintaining a timeless quality that resonates with audiences at live events. Their performances have included appearances alongside global icons such as Lionel Richie, Diana Ross and Michael Jackson, as well as for King Charles III at Capital FM’s Party in the Park in 1999. The new trio also performed at London's Mardi Gras celebration and the Manchester Apollo.
Reforming in 2024, the group now features original member Heavenli Roberts alongside Candace Cherry, continuing the legacy with renewed energy.
