Urban Cookie Collective – The Artist

Urban Cookie Collective are a British Eurodance group, best known for their 1993 hit single “The Key the Secret”. The band was founded by keyboardist/songwriter Rohan Heath. The band was founded by Rohan Heath (born 1964, the son of Guyanese writer Roy Heath). He learned to play classical piano as a child before switching to the electric piano. He had previous experience with groups such as Yargo and Manchester DJ A Guy Called Gerald. Heath decided on a music career after abandoning a PhD at the University of Vermont. After a tour of Japan supporting the Happy Mondays, he left the band A Guy Called Gerald to work with the rave band Together. Heath went on to work with Jamaican reggae artist Eek-A-Mouse, before concentrating on his new project, Urban Cookie Collective. He was the keyboardist, writer, and producer of their music. Heath wrote and produced both their hits: “The Key the Secret” and “Feels Like Heaven”. He brought in vocalist Diane Charlemagne for many of the group’s early tracks. She eventually co-wrote some of the songs and became a major part of the band.

The Key – The Shape

Modelled into a typical key. A key is a device that is used to operate a lock (to lock or unlock it). A typical key is a small piece of metal consisting of two parts: the bit or blade, which slides into the keyway of the lock and distinguishes between different keys, and the bow, which is left protruding so that torque can be applied by the user. In its simplest implementation, a key operates one lock or set of locks that are keyed alike, a lock/key system where each similarly keyed lock requires the same, unique key.
The key serves as a security token for access to the locked area; locks are meant to only allow specific persons having the correct key to open it and gain access.
