In the days of Disco, the female-led guitar-driven band A Taste Of Honey received a crash course in the potential of the hit single when their very first recording, Boogie Oogie Oogie, hit the top of the charts around the world. Both Single and Album were certified Platinum in the USA and Gold in the United Kingdom and Japan. As a result, Hazel Payne and A Taste Of Honey went on to nab the prestigious Grammy Award for Best New Artist of the Year.

​

The second ATOH album went Gold in Japan and also garnered Gold for the Single with “Do It Good” (a song that also won Gold for a third time when it was awarded the Gold Prize Award at the 8th Annual Tokyo Music Festival).

​

The band’s third album, produced by George Duke, gave us “Sukiyaki” (a remake of Kyu Sakamoto’s 1963 international hit) also went to #1 on the national charts adding yet another Gold Single to the achievements of ATOH.

Hazel Payne has both national and international tours to her credit, including radio and television appearances. She had a lead role in the smash musical hit called “Oh What A Night” performing with Kid Creole. Hazel presently spends her time touring the globe back to her roots performing jazz in various casinos, theatres, 5 star hotels and for corporate events.
