Biography
Ottawa, Canada's One to One like to change their name -- and sound -- whenever there's a shift in popular music styles. They're commercial chameleons trying to capitalize on every new trend. From the mid-'70s to the early '80s, Louise Reny (vocals) and Leslie Howe (guitar, bass, keyboards) were members of the cover band Mainstream. After leaving Mainstream, Reny and Howe became a new wave duo, One to One. In 1984, One to One were signed by the British label Bonaire and sent to West Germany to record their debut album Forward Your Emotions. The coy single "Angel in My Pocket" became a hit in Canada and the Philippines in 1985; in addition, other tracks like "There Was a Time" and "Black on White" landed on the Canadian charts as well. One to One's second full-length, 1-2-1, yielded more Canadian Top 40 songs, such as "Do You Believe" and "Hold Me Now." By 1992, new wave was no longer attractive to radio stations; the group altered their appellation to One 2 One and jettisoned new wave for easy listening and country. The band departed from Bonaire and ended up on A&M Records, releasing the album Peace of Mind. One 2 One then took a break from recording. During the hiatus, Howe helped mold a teenage Alanis Morissette into a Tiffany-esque pop singer. Reny and Howe returned as the grunge band Sal's Birdland after Nirvana wooed the masses, recording So Very Happy and Nude Photos Inside, neither of which performed well. Nude Photos Inside was released on Discovery in the U.S., but even with major-label support, Sal's Birdland didn't take flight. As grunge burned out in the late '90s, Reny and Howe took another approach. Looking to the female-led alternative rock group Garbage for inspiration, they became Artificial Joy Club, recording their debut full-length Melt in 1997. ~ Michael Sutton, All Music Guide| Wikipedia: One to One |

Biography
Consisting of vocalist Louise Reny and producer Leslie Howe, the duo released three albums and scored ten hits across Canada between 1985 and 1992.
One to One evolved out of an Ottawa Valley band called Mainstream, who in the late '70s and early '80s, toured the local circuit performing cover songs. In 1983, Reny and Howe decided to strike out on their own, and after recording a few demos, they signed a two-album deal with Bonaire Records, and flew to West Germany to record.
The dance-fueled debut Forward Your Emotions was released in 1985 and became a smash hit across Canada. The singles "There Was a Time" and "Angel in My Pocket" charted on the Canadian Top 40, and the latter also became a minor hit on the Billboard Hot 100 charts reaching #92. A third single "Black on White" only reached #90 on the Canadian charts.
Their 1988 follow-up 1-2-1 was a more guitar-based pop album that also became a hit in Canada. The hits "Hold Me Now" and "Do You Believe" climbed into the Canadian Top 40. Two more singles including The Supremes cover "Love Child" and "We've Got the Power" became modest hits as well.
Following the demise of Bonaire Records, the group signed to A&M Records as 'One 2 One'. Released in 1992, Imagine It was an adult contemporary-based album that gave the band another hit with "Peace of Mind (Love Goes On)". That song also charted on the Billboard charts at #95. Two more singles "Memory Lane" and "Friends" reached the Canadian Top 40 as well.
Following this success, Howe and Reny decided to pursue a different musical direction, and joined with three other musicians in the alternative rock band Sal's Birdland, which later morphed into the Artificial Joy Club.
Awards and recognition
In 1986, the band was nominated for three Juno Awards:
- Most Promising Group of the Year
- Producer of the Year (Leslie Howe)
- Recording Engineer of the Year (Leslie Howe)
