In 1988, the act debuted on the UK Singles Chart with the song "Bauhaus (Push the Beat)", and the following year with "Helyom Halib" which peaked at number 11.
[1] At the time, the act was fronted by model Ettore Foresti, who served as the face of the group, but did not perform any of the vocals.
Vocalist Anna Ross and rapper MC Fixx It (Ricardo Overman) were chosen by Gianfranco for live performances.
[1] Afterwards, two permanent members were drafted in to front the act: rapper Rodney Bishop from London and ex-SL2 dancer Kelly Overett from Ipswich.
[1] "U Got 2 Let the Music" (which sampled Alphaville's "Sounds Like a Melody") was released in October 1993 and climbed to number 2 on the UK Singles Chart,[1] held off from the top spot only by Meat Loaf's "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)".
Before joining Cappella, she had scored a number 23 hit in the UK Official Top 40 with "The Boy From New York City".
The comeback single "Tell Me the Way" reached number 17 in the UK in September 1995 and was followed by the album War In Heaven, which featured contributions from Mauro Picotto.
Once their Japanese tour was finished, Bishop left the group, and Cappella continued as a solo act with just Jordan for a brief time.
The song features an unknown vocalist with rap samples from MC Fixx It directly from Anticappella's "Move Your Body".
In November 2022, former member Kelly Overett resurfaced online and shared many stories, memories and pictures from her time in the band.
In an interview from the following month, she shared more details, including clearing up rumors on what led to the end of her time in the band and her brief solo career as Kelly O.
27 years after the release of "Follow Your Heart", Kelly revealed there is a music video and a follow-up single called "Into The Light" previously left unreleased, and uploaded both of them on YouTube.
When asked if she would ever return to performing with Cappella, she stated: "I think I am open to appearing at the 90's festivals, which I had no idea of til recently.
In the years after Cappella originally disbanded, she married her husband Stephen, and together they ran a series of magazines called Paranormal, which lasted for several issues.
When Kelly returned to the Eurodance scene, she stated that she hoped she would reconnect with Rodney as they haven't communicated since they first left the band, but would also respect his privacy.
