While Sneaky Sound System has achieved phenomenal success in the last two years, the group has been pounding out music for more than five years. Originally, the group was comprised of Angus and Daimon, who established their own production company and began to independently produce their own music, something that was not widely done at the time. Although the group managed to achieve marginal success in Sydney when they first formed, it has only been recently that the hard work and tremendous talent of the group has been recognized around Australia and even beyond.

So, what is it exactly that has led to the astounding of success of Sneaky Sound System in the last two years? Their debut album achieved top spots on the music charts and the group even swept the ARIA awards in terms of nominations before walking away with two much coveted awards. Their second album, due out this summer, has been much awaited and is anticipated to be even better than the first album.

In large degree, the phenomenal success of the band can be attributed to the talented and beautiful Connie Mitchell, the newest member of the group. Prior to joining Sneaky Sound System, the young vocalist performed with the Aussie group Primary. Mitchell and the two founding members of Sneaky Sound System met in Hyde Park, where Mitchell was signing and playing the guitar at the time. While Sneaky Sound System had already developed its own distinctive Funky House Music sound, the addition of Connie Mitchell has certainly enhanced the group's collective talent.

Mitchell has frequently been described as being 'a star in her own right.' With her fresh, young beauty and golden voice, it is clear that the depth of Mitchell's talent has barely been tapped. In addition to her work with Sneaky Sound System and prior performances with Primary, Mitchell has also performed with a number of other groups. During early 2007, Mitchell recorded vocals with Kanye West and is featured on four tracks of his album, Graduation. The singles 'Flashing Lights' as well as 'Can't Tell Me Nothing' are two of the singles on which Mitchell is featured. Mitchell has also performed with Snoop Dogg.

Sneaky Sound System's second album will appear this summer. Early released singles have already achieved wide acclaim and it is rapidly becoming clear that 2, the group's second album, will achieve just as much success, if not more acclaim, than the group's self-titled debut album.

The group will be going on tour just after the release of the second album in order to promote it, appearing in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. The vocals on the early releases have been so critically acclaimed, that speculation is already insisting this album could be exactly what the group needs to experience an international break-through. If that is the case, and it certainly looks as though it could be, then Miss Connie can certainly be attributed with much of the group's dynamic success.
