Sinitta started her career as an actress who could sing and dance, appearing in several West End musicals including Cats, Little Shop Of Horrors, Hair, Smokey Joe’s Cafe and Mutiny! starring as the leading lady, Maimiti, alongside David Essex and Sir Frank Finlay. It was after seeing her in this role that Sir Ben Kingsley cast Sinitta in his feature film The Foreign Bodies.
Whilst enjoying an incredible time in film and theatre, Sinitta was simultaneously presenting a very successful children’s acting television program called The Wall Game for Thames TV, along with her own self-penned chat show on MTV.
Signed by the young Simon Cowell to his independent record label while still a teenager, Sinitta made 15 international hit pop records and became an official triple threat, dominating the music charts and teen culture during the late ’80s through ’90s globally.
From the mid-’00s Sinitta has remained in the spotlight, becoming a mentor to young emerging talent and as Simon Cowell’s right-hand-woman on The X Factor.
Sinitta is Godmother of Pride London and mentor to LGBTQ+ Artists for Pride’s Got Talent. Sinitta performs annually on several of the Pride Platforms: The BAME Stage, The Trafalgar Square Stage and The Women’s Stage.
Most recently Sinitta has formed her own production company, Attinis Productions, making numerous reality show appearances and music festival performances, and continuing to develop new artists.
With a varied career that spans five decades, Sinitta is delighted to be back onstage where she belongs – “Right Back Where She Started From!”
