Teen Queens were an Australian pop music girl group, formed in 1991 by three model-singer-actresses: Roxanne Clarke, Kellie Crawford and Liza Witt.

The group's debut album, Get Happy!, was released in November 1992, which peaked at No. 36. The group disbanded in 1993. Their singles "I Can't Help Myself" and "Love How You Love Me" were nominated for Engineer of the Year at the 1993 ARIA Awards.
Background
The Teen Queens were formed in Sydney in 1991 by three model-singer-actresses: Roxanne Clarke, Kellie Crawford (née Hoggart) and Liza Witt. A pilot episode was developed by the creators of E Street, a teen TV soap opera, for a self-titled half-hour TV program about a girl group set in 1960s. According to The Canberra Times correspondent the show "follows three girls from the country who head to the city to make it big in the music world. Naturally all doesn't go according to plan." Their debut album, Get Happy!, was released on Westside Records/Phonogram in November 1992 and reached No. 36 on the ARIA Albums Chart.
The group also provided the vocals for a Coca-Cola TV ad. They had further top 40 singles including The Four Tops' "I Can't Help Myself" (No. 28) in July 1992 and The Paris Sisters' "Love How You Love Me" (No. 14) in September 1992. A second album, Get Happy! II, was released in July 1993 before the group disbanded.
Witt appeared on TV shows, Good Morning Australia and Mornings with Kerrie-Anne and, as from 2006, she hosted a TV online-shopping site.
Clarke and her brother PJ Clarke devised the performing arts agency 'Detour' out of Brent Street Studios in Sydney from 1998 to 2003. As agents they launched many performers and creatives into successful careers within the industry and produced entertainment at events. Clarke currently works with her brother PJ at Jeep Management Pty Ltd
