Music career

1998–2003: Beginnings

edit

Bailey Rae formed anindiegroup called Helen, which was inspired by similar acts such asVeruca SaltandL7."It was the first time I'd seen women with guitars. They were kinda sexy—butfeminist.I wanted to be like that, at the front of something. "[17]The group played many gigs around Leeds and, whilst unable to attract offers from any UK labels, were eventually approached by US-basedheavy metalrecord labelRoadrunner Records,home to acts such asSlipknot,in 1998. This deal disappeared before it was even signed, however, after the bassist became pregnant and the group disbanded. "[Was I] Disappointed? I was gutted! I had no idea what to do next."

In the three years after she married her first husband, Bailey Rae began working on solo material—this time steering away from her indie past and embarking on a more "soulful" path. She collaborated with Leeds-basedfunkgroupthe New Mastersoundson the track "Your Love Is Mine", which featured on their 2003 albumBe Yourself,released by One Note Records. The following year she again worked with another Leeds-based group, Home cut Directive, on the song "Come the Revolution", which was the first single from that group's debut album.
