Career

Child was born in Toronto, the daughter of Ricky Hyslop. She joined Canadian Opera Company's children's chorus in her youth.

She is best known for the hit single "Don't Wanna Fall in Love" which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Her follow-up single, "Welcome to the Real World", was a modest hit, peaking at No. 49 on the Billboard 200. In 1993, she released her second album, Here Not There; which was less successful due to strange single selection. Her third, and latest album, Surge, was released in 2001; which played on a few radio stations.

She recorded a cover of Tina Turner's "We Don't Need Another Hero" for a tribute album, What's Love? A Tribute To Tina Turner, released in 2004.
