Booty Luv are an English dance music group formed in June 2006 in London by their record label, Hed Kandi.
In late 2011, following a two-year break the duo announced they had changed their name to "Cherise & Nadia" and went on a mini-tour in Australia to promote material from their debut album.
Roberts and Shepherd both began their career as members of the R&B and hip hop group Big Brovaz, which achieved seven UK top 40 singles between 2002 and 2004.
Six months later in December, however, Booty Luv's version of "Boogie 2nite" was decided to be released as an actual single in the UK and mainland Europe following positive reviews from club DJs on the dance scene.
Spending 23 weeks inside the UK Top 75, "Boogie 2nite" resulted in Booty Luv extending their contract with Hed Kandi to four follow-up singles and an album.
In May 2007, after taking several months to record their debut album, Booty Luv released the follow-up single "Shine", a cover of the Luther Vandross song.
The album featured five original tracks co-written by Booty Luv, including the fourth single, "Some Kinda Rush" (a number 19 hit in December 2007).
[9] Boogie 2nite entered the UK Albums Chart at number 11 and was certified Silver by the BPI in late 2008, denoting 60,000 copies sold.
The single continued the band's run of UK Top 20 hits, debuting at number 16 on 6 September 2009, the week's fourth highest new entry.
