She Wanted Candy

Picture this: It's 1980, you are 13 years old working in a cleaners in South London and you like to sing,the next thing you know Malcolm McLaren comes into the shop and offers you a record contract; naturally you take it and in no time at all you are on "Top of the Pops" and MTV everyone knows your name and your name is Annabella.

True Story!
Annabella Lwin has lived every punk rock girls dream. Her story is the ultimate 1980's punk rock dream come true. The stuff of an early Gary Oldman movie! Discovered while in high school Malcolm McLaren made her the lead singer for the band Bow Wow Wow. He took her from the streets to international stardom almost over night. They charted with several singles including "I want Candy" and then she really knew fame when she appeared nude on the album cover for their first full length record "See Jungle..."
Three years later she was booted form the band and made an attempt at a solo career. She did record but never achieved the success that she had seen with Bow Wow Wow. In 1997 the band reformed and went on a North American tour with No Doubt. 
Annabella still performs and has been doing so with some minor success. She is now 47 years old.
