She was born in the Middle East, but raised in South London. Her father's love for classical jazz was a powerful influence in her music. Atkins' father is a jazz trumpet player, and she started to perform as a balladeer with her father in clubs when she was 13. Paul Oakenfold and Steve Osborne were impressed by her singing, and she joined them in the dance group Grace in 1995.

During 1997, Atkins decided to stop working with Grace, and returned to solo work as well as collaborating with Tilt. She also was the vocalist in Elevate feat Dominique on "Next Life"; and Mekka's "Diamondback". In 1999, she performed vocals, mixed with those of Patti Low, in Grace's re-release of "Not Over Yet".

Atkins also appeared in Grace music videos as the lead singer and also on cover artwork. She also starred in the BBC One play, Out Of The Blue as Angelique along with Cathy Tyson, Colin Firth and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Atkins also wrote the song "Turn On The Radio", which was on the album Plethora by Loverush UK! in 2009.
