Juliet Richardson (born January 1, 1980) is an American singer who performs under the mononym Juliet. She is best known for her 2005 album, Random Order, and the single "Avalon".

Early life

A resident of Shamong Township, New Jersey, Richardson is a graduate of Life Center Academy in Burlington, New Jersey.[1]

Career

Richardson's recording debut was in 2000 as the singer for 1 Plus 1. Their single "Cherry Bomb", from the album of the same title, reached the

Hot Dance Club Play chart in 2001, as well as the Top 50 in the Dance chart.[citation needed
]

Despite the initial promise of success, Richardson expressed displeasure with the marketing direction of the group, and the act was recreated as alternative rock band MNQNN (pronounced "mannequin"). Their music, differing greatly from prior 1 Plus 1 work, prompted Elektra to release them from their recording contract. MNQNN played rock clubs for a few years, before going on an indefinite hiatus in June 2003.[citation needed]

In 2004, Richardson returned to major label recording after being introduced to record producer Stuart Price (also known as

UK Singles Chart in April 2005.[6]
She scored a second number one on the US dance chart in August with "Ride the Pain".

In August 2005, Richardson released her debut album on Virgin Records. Apart from Price, Richardson also collaborated with other producers, including Guy Sigsworth on the song "New Shoes" and Jacknife Lee on "Ride the Pain".[citation needed]

In 2007, the singer collaborated with David Guetta on the track "Do Something Love" from his album Pop Life.[7]

Personal life

In December 2012, Richardson and her husband, Kyle Korver, welcomed their first child, a girl named Kyra Elyse.[8] She gave birth to a son, Knox Elliot, on October 4, 2014.[9] The couple's second son, Koen, was born on November 7, 2016.[10]
