Wendy James is the fiery, controversial singer, musician, and composer, lead of Racine, formerly lead singer of Transvision Vamp.

Born 21 January 1966, in East Sussex, England, she left home at 16 and went to live in Brighton, where she studied drama and English. After a year, disillusioned, she started singing in a nightclub. There she met Nick Christian Sayer, as they started to write songs together, moved to London, and teamed up with some punk friends, Dave Parsons, Tex Axile and Pol Burton, and formed Transvision Vamp. Their first hit, "I Want Your Love" was in 1988.

Wendy became renowned for her comments on:

• Kylie Minogue: "I think the attitudes she's portraying in her songs are really dangerous"),
• Smash Hits magazine: "pollution of the mind",
• the ecology: "Transvision Vamp are responsible human beings who don't see why we should be destroying the planet we live on"),
• animal rights: "animals are far more logical in the way they live their lives than human beings are").
