Deborah Cox (born July 13, 1974 in Toronto, Ontario) is a Grammy Award nominated Canadian R&B singer-songwriter and actress. Cox's 1998 song "Nobody's Supposed to Be Here" held the record for longest-running number one single on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart (14 weeks), a record held for nearly eight years. Cox has achieved nine number-one hits on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart.

Deborah Cox began singing for TV commercials at age 12, and she entered various talent shows with the help of her mother. She performed in nightclubs as a teenager, and she also began to write music around the same time.1 Cox entered the music industry as a backup vocalist for Celine Dion, and after signing to Arista Records, she released her self-titled debut album in 1995. She earned many comparisons to Whitney Houston. After middling success, Cox released a non-album single for the soundtrack to the 1997 movie Money Talks, entitled "Things Just Ain't The Same", which failed to make the U.S. top forty. A dance mix of the song topped the U.S. dance charts, however, and was included on her second album, 1998's One Wish. The first single from that album, "Nobody's Supposed To Be Here", spent fourteen weeks at #1 on the Hot R&B charts in the USA, as well as eight consecutive weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album went platinum, becoming Cox's biggest-selling album to date. Cox then recorded a new song, "Absolutely Not", for the soundtrack to Dr. Dolittle 2. Remixes of the song repeated the success of One Wish's singles on the dance charts, and the Chanel mix of "Absolutely Not" was included on her third album entitled The Morning After, which was released in November 2002 on J Records. On February 17, 2004, she made her Broadway debut in the Elton John-Tim Rice musical Aida, returning to recording only to release a dance remix of "Easy As Life" as a single.
Cox also has been involved in a number of movies and soundtracks. In 2000, she played Niko Rosen in Love Come Down. In 2001, her hit-song "Absolutely Not" was featured in Dr. Dolittle 2. In 2005, in the movie Blood of a Champion she played the role of Sharon, and again in 2005, her voice was featured in the movie Hotel Rwanda in a song entitled "Nobody Cares".
To sustain demand for Cox's club appearances, while focused on her family and new album projects, she released a dance single titled House Is Not a Home on Nervous Records in January 2006. Later in the year, a new song entitled "Definition Of Love" was used in the movie Akeelah and the Bee, but was not released as a single. Between 2005 and 2006 Deborah recorded a new album called Destination Moon as a tribute to jazz singer Dinah Washington. Destination Moon, her fourth studio album, was released on June 19, 2007.
Cox performed the Canadian national anthem at the 2008 NBA All-Star Game in New Orleans, Louisiana. She contributed a song entitled "This Gift" to the soundtrack of the 2008 movie Meet the Browns and was part of Cyndi Lauper's True Colors Tour 2008.
In early 2008 Cox & Stephens created the Deco Recording Group, her very own independent label, which is distrubuted through Image Entertainment. Soon she started recording songs for a new album. Her fourth R&B studio album, entitled The Promise, has been released on November 11, 2008. The first single "Did You Ever Love Me" was released to radio on August 26, 2008 and peaked at #69 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart. The song "Beautiful U R" has been released digitally to iTunes and Amazon.com on September 16, 2008. It has recently reached #3 on the Canadian Radio Chart becoming her most successful single in nearly ten years. It also peaked at #3 on the Canadian Hot AC Chart (January, 2009 Chart). Deborah has also appeared during her promotion for "The Promise" with interviews on Entertainment Tonight Canada, E-Talk, CHUM FM, Proud FM, various CBC radio shows, and over 70 interviews across the country. The video for "Beautiful U.R." is directed by Lil X, and has been serviced on November 15, 2008. The song was certified gold for digital downloads in January, 2009. "Saying Goodbye" and "The Promise" are scheduled to be released as singles in 2009. She will also tour in March to promote the album.
The Promise debuted and peaked at #106 on the US Top 200 and on #14 on the US R&B Album Chart selling 6,419 copies in its first week. To date it has sold about 18,000 copies in the US.
Cox's parents are of Afro-Guyanese descent. She is married to music producer Lascelles Stephens. They have two children, Isaiah (born July 1, 2003) and Sumayah (born June 29, 2006). She is currently expecting her third child due in February 2009.
