The duo started working together mainly as writers and producers in 1988. Their first single "Fly" featured Kellie Wolfgram as the vocalist. However, Cheyne sang on the group's breakthrough single "Don't Call Me Baby" because Andy Van liked her version initially used as the guide track for the intended singer. Van took the song to the MIDEM Conference leading to the band being signed by Virgin Records in the UK and Sony Music for the rest of the world.
"Don't Call Me Baby" proved to be a breakthrough record for Madison Avenue topping the Australian charts in 1999. It sold 200,000 singles in Australia, the best singles sales achieved by any Australian act in that country for 1999 and Madison Avenue were the first Australian dance act to top the Australian singles charts. The single was released internationally in 2000. In the UK, the song sold 400,00 copies and topped the singles chart, and was a hit throughout Europe. "Don't Call Me Baby" also topped the Billboard dance charts in the US. By this stage, Cheyne was widely established as the public face of the band, although Madison Avenue was originally intended to be a collective dance group like C&C Music Factory or Soul II Soul.
The single's accompanying album, Polyester Embassy, was released in 2000 and reached #4 on the Australian album charts. It spawned three further singles:
* "Who The Hell Are You" - a #1 hit in Australia and on the Billboard Dance Charts, it also reached #10 in the UK.
* "Everything You Need" - went to #6 and was certified gold in Australia, as well as breaking into the UK's Top 40.
* "Reminiscing" - a cover version of the 1978 hit by Australian rock band Little River Band, it was the 9th most popular single by an Australian artist in Australia in 2001 (reaching #9 in the Australian singles charts that year).
In 2001, Madison Avenue won the Best Dance Artist at the International Dance Awards in Miami. Destiny's Child, Madonna, *NSYNC and Britney Spears were also nominated for the award.
The group officially disbanded in 2003, with Cheyne going on to pursue a solo career.

Don't Call Me Baby
Madison Avenue Lyrics
You and me we had a opportunity
And we could make it something really cool
But you, you think I'm not the kind of girl
I'm hear to tell ya baby I know how to rock your world
Don't think that I'm not strong
I'm the one to take you on
Don't under estimate me
Boy ill make you sorry you were born
You don't know me the way you really should
You're sure misunderstood
Don't call me baby
You got to know that that will never do
You know I don't belong to you
Its time you knew I'm not your baby
I belong to me
So don't call me baby
Behind my smile is my IQ
I must admit this does not sit with the likes of you
You're really sweet mmm you're really nice
But didn't mama ever tell ya not to play with fire
Don't think that I'm not strong
I'm the one to take you on
Don't under estimate me
Boy ill make you sorry you were born
You don't know me the way you really should
You're sure misunderstood
Don't call me baby
You got to know that that will never do
You know I don't belong to you
It's time you knew I'm not your baby
I belong to me
So don't call me baby
You and me we had a opportunity
And we could make it something really cool
But you, you think I'm not the kind of girl
I'm hear to tell ya baby I know how to rock your world
Don't think that I'm not strong
I'm the one to take you on
Don't under estimate me
Boy ill make you sorry you were born
You don't know me the way you really should
You're sure misunderstood
Don't call me baby
You've got some nerve and baby that'll never do
You know I don't belong to you
It's time you knew I'm not your baby
I belong to me
So don't call me baby
You've got some nerve and baby that'll never do
You know I don't belong to you
It's time you knew I'm not your baby
I belong to me
So don't call me baby

The song is from 1999, however the Main riff that structures the song is from 1979 (Aint no stoppin Us of McFadden & Whitehead) a Disco Funk hit. Also used in 1981 Eurohit multi award Ma Quale Idea of Pino D' Àngio.
