Driza Bone

Driza Bone is an international dance music remixing ensemble, led by the record producers Billy April and Vincent Garcia. Their work has included remixing Duran Duran's "White Lines" and "Perfect Day" singles in 1995.

Career
Sometimes billed as Drizabone, the remixing ensemble were primarily popular in the early 1990s and took their name from the Driza-Bone brand of waterproof riding coats. They used various female vocalists to provide the vocal element to their output.

Their most successful remix single was of the American R&B singer Shanice's 1991 single, "I Love Your Smile". It surpassed the success of the original track, reaching #2 on both the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart.

Driza Bone's most popular track, as an artist, was the song "Real Love", which reached #16 on the UK Singles Chart in June 1991, before they had remixed "I Love Your Smile". At the time of the single, Drizabone were mainstays April and Garcia, plus vocalist Sophie Jones.

In 2010, Billy April, now credited under his real name Billy Freeman, revived the project under the name The Drizabone Soul Family, releasing an album titled All the Way with a new line-up of vocalists.
