Royce won a Golden Globe in 2004 for singing background vocals for Mick Jagger on "Old Habits Die Hard" from the feature film "Alfie." Her distinctive voice has been featured on countless record demos for many prominent producers, songwriters, and artists - Dave Stewart, Lois Blaisch (writer of Tiffany's 1988 #1 hit single "Could've Been"), Mick Jagger, Sheryl Crow, and Candyman 187.
