Deborah Cox (born July 13, 1974 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian R&B/pop singer. Her parents are of Guyanese decent, but she has never met her biological father.
Her 1998 song "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" tied with Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" and later Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" for having the longest-running number one single on Billboard's R&B 100, a record held for nearly eight years until Mary J. Blige's "Be Without You" notched a 15th week at number one in 2006. Cox has achieved nine number-one hits on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play Chart.
Cox entered the music industry as a backup vocalist for C?©line Dion, and after signing to Arista Records, released her self-titled debut album in 1995. The album introduced her to the world and set the stage for 1998's One Wish. Read more about ...
