All Saints were formed in 1993 by
friends Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis and were
named after All Saints Road in Notting Hill, where
the studio they made their first recordings is
located.
The duo were signed to ZTT Records in 1995 and
released one single 'If You Wanna Party', which
failed to chart. After leaving ZTT Blatt and Lewis
recruited a mutual friend Nicole Appleton who
brought with her sister, Natalie.
