Tasmin Archer (born on August 3, 1963 in Bradford, Yorkshire, England) is an English female pop\rock singer from the ’90s.
After graduating from the Grange Upper School, Tasmin worked as a sewing machine operator. In 1980, she attended Bradford College to study typing and later became a clerk at Leeds Magistrates’ Court.
Tasmin later joined a music group called Dignity as a backing vocalist and played in various bands around Bradford. She helped out at a recording studio called Flexible Response and began working with musicians John Beck & John Hughes as The Archers. In 1990, she signed a record deal with EMI Records.
In August of 1992, Tasmin released her debut single “Sleeping Satellite” which topped the U.K. Singles chart for two weeks and also topped the charts in Ireland.
In the United States, the song managed to peak at #32 on the Billboard Hot 100, #16 on Billboard’s Top 40 Mainstream chart, #24 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart and #12 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks chart, making it Tasmin’s only hit in the U.S. to date.
In October of that same year, she released her debut album “Great Expectations” which peaked at #8 on the U.K. Albums chart, #115 on the Billboard 200 and #3 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart. The album was later certified Gold with sales of more than 100,000 copies.
The follow-up single “In Your Care” (which was a song about child abuse) peaked at #16 on the U.K. Singles chart. The money made from the single was donated to the charity, Child Line.
The third single from the album “Lords of the New Church” peaked at #26 on the U.K. Singles chart.
The fourth single “Somebody’s Daughter” was released in Germany only, but didn’t appear to make the charts at all.
The last single from the album “Arienne” peaked at #30 on the U.K. Singles chart. In 1993, Tasmin won a BRIT Award for “Best British Breakthrough Act.”
In 1994, Tasmin released an EP called “Shipbuilding” which featured four cover songs by Elvis Costello and the title song managed to peak at #40 on the U.K. Singles chart.
In the United States, the EP was released as a full album and in order to fill the space, they included four tracks from Tasmin’s debut album in live form (including an acoustic version of “Sleeping Satellite”). Despite receiving good reviews from critics, the album failed to make any impact in the U.S. at all.
After that, not much was heard from Tasmin until 1996 when she released her second full-length album “Bloom” which didn’t appear to chart on the U.K. Albums chart at all and didn’t appear to have a lot of promotion from Tasmin’s record label.
In fact, EMI Records weren’t quite supportive of the material that Tasmin recorded for the album, calling it too uncommercial and removed from the sound of her first album. It took almost a year for John Archer & John Hughes to convince EMI executives to get the album released in the way that they wanted it to be.
The only single from the album to chart was “One More Good Night With the Boys” which managed to peak at #45 on the U.K. Singles chart.
The follow-up single “Sweet Little Truth” flopped. Due to disagreements with the label, Tasmin left EMI and took a break from the music business, but she pursued other activities such as painting & moulding clay.
In 2002, Tasmin and John Hughes began working on music again and in 2006, she released her third full-length album “On” on her record label, Quiverdisc. The song “Every Time I Want It (Effect is Monotony)” was released as a digital download.
During that same year in an interview, Tasmin said that she & John Hughes were pursuing opportunities to write for television & film soundtracks. Since then, they have provided work on various television shows including the British soap opera “Eastenders.”
These days, it appears as if Tasmin is still continuing with her music career, but it’s unknown whether or not she’ll release a new album in the near future.

Tommy Page (born Thomas Alden Page on May 24, 1970 in Glen Ridge, New Jersey) was a pop singer who achieved success during the late ’80s\early ’90s. He grew up in West Caldwell, New Jersey.
When he was 16 years old, Tommy worked as a cloakroom attendant in a popular nightclub in New York called Nell’s where he took the coats of celebrities such as Rob Lowe, Whitney Houston & the Beastie Boys.
The job gave Tommy a chance to play his demo tape to the house DJ who used the demos as part of his club mixes which became so impressive that he was introduced to Seymour Stein, the founder of Sire Records.
At the age of 18, he was asked to write the theme song to the 1989 film “Shag” and it was released as his first single. It’s unknown how or if the song charted.
In November of 1988, Tommy released his self-titled debut album which peaked at #166 on the Billboard 200.
His first charting single “A Shoulder To Cry On” peaked at #29 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it his first chart appearance on the Hot 100 at the time.
The follow-up single “A Zillion Kisses” missed the Hot 100, but managed to peak at #45 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Music\Club Play Singles chart.

The lead single from the album “I’ll Be Your Everything” became a hit for Tommy, topping the Billboard Hot 100 for a week in April of 1990, making his only number-one hit to date. The song was co-written by New Kids on the Block members Jordan Knight and Danny Wood.
The follow-up single “When I Dream of You” peaked at #42 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Tommy’s last appearance on the Hot 100 to date.
Another single released from the album “Turn On the Radio” didn’t appear to make the charts at all. He also released a holiday single “You Make Christmas Feel Like Heaven” which was only released in Japan and the United States.
In 1991, Tommy released his third album “From the Heart” which peaked at #192 on the Billboard 200.
The singles released from the album “Whenever You Close Your Eyes,” “Under the Rainbow” and “My Shining Star” didn’t appear to make a lot of impact on the charts at all. During that same year, Tommy appeared as himself on the ABC series “Full House”, performing at Stephanie Tanner’s birthday party.
In 1992, he released his fourth album “A Friend to Rely On” as an appreciation to his fans in Asia. It’s unknown how much impact the album made on the music charts in Asia.
In 1994, Tommy replaced Donny Osmond in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Broadway musical “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” for three months. During that same year, he released his fifth album “Time” which was released in Asia and Japan. He would later sign with Japanese record label Pony Canyon Records.
It wasn’t until the spring of 2000 that Tommy released his seventh and recent album to date “Ten ‘Til Midnight” which was available on the Internet. He would later work as an A&R executive for the Warner Music Group.
In 2011, Tommy joined Billboard Magazine as a publisher where he created new features such as the “Industry Icon Award” and the “Power 100” list. In April of 2013, he joined Pandora Internet Media as the head of music partnerships.
These days, Tommy continues to perform in concerts around the world and in 2015, he released a new version of his 1990 song “I Break Down 2015.”
Sadly on March 3, 2017, Tommy died from an apparent suicide at the age of 46. He is survived by his husband, Charlie and three children.
