Honeyz

The Honeyz were a popular 90s British-based R&B girl group consisting of Heavenli Abdi, Naima Belkhiati and Célena Cherry. Their biggest hit, "Finally Found" (1998), peaked at #4 in the U.K. music charts. In 1999 Heavenli left the band and was replaced by former Solid HarmoniE vocalist Mariama Goodman. At the 2000, Maxim awards, they picked up the award for The Best British Girl Band, beating The Spice Girls, Hepburn, Thunderbugs and Eternal to the title. During August 2000 Miriama announced her departure from the Honeyz, Célena and Naima were faced with an uncertain future, a chance meeting with former member Heavenli Abdi proved that the original spark between the three friends was still there despite her sudden departue a year previously, and an invitation to rejoin the group was accepted. In 2005 the group reformed on the ITV singing contest Hit Me Baby One More Time, performing their debut single Finally Found and a cover of Nickelback's hit "How You Remind Me". This was the last performance with founding member Naima Belkhiat
