5 Things to Know About Kelli Dayton and Sneaker Pimps

Kelli Dayton was the lead vocalist on only one Sneaker Pimps album. She sang on their debut, Becoming X, released in 1996.

She left the band after that album. Chris Corner replaced her as lead vocalist for subsequent releases.

Dayton later performed under the name Kelli Ali. She released solo material after her time with Sneaker Pimps.

Becoming X is the band’s most commercially successful album. It includes the hit single “6 Underground,” which gained wide exposure.

Her departure was a creative shift for the band. Sneaker Pimps moved from trip-hop to a more electronic rock sound without her.
