About Betty Boo

Alison Moira Clarkson, better known to the world as Betty Boo, burst onto the music scene in the late 1980s, quickly establishing herself as a unique and unforgettable presence. After gaining initial recognition with groups like The Beatmasters and She Rockers, she launched her solo career, captivating audiences with her playful lyrics, distinctive look, and a sound that effortlessly fused pop, hip-hop, and dance. Hits like “Doin’ the Do,” “Where Are You Baby?”, and “Ding-a-Dong” became instant classics, defining an era with their infectious energy and undeniable charm.

Betty Boo’s style was, and remains, instantly recognisable – a colourful, cartoon-like aesthetic paired with a sharp lyrical wit and an engaging stage presence. Her ability to craft incredibly catchy pop anthems with an underlying cool factor set her apart. After a hiatus, she made a triumphant return, proving her enduring appeal and demonstrating that her music continues to resonate with both long-time fans and new listeners.
