As Princess (born Desiree Heslop) gets ready for her return to the stage, treating longtime fans with a first-ever performance of her debut album for Supreme Records, she looks back on the making of that LP and a journey through her extraordinary career, one propelled by the support of her brother and manager, Don Heslop.

Both Princess and Don talk about how music came into her life, and her role as a session singer for up-and-coming and established acts, which led her straight to the doorsteps of the ‘Hit Factory’ established by producers Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman, known for their assembly-like work with artists like Bananarama, Rick Astley, and Kylie Minogue.
