Geri Halliwell
b. Geraldine Estelle Halliwell, 6 August 1972, Watford, Hertfordshire, England, although her date of birth has been the subject of some conjecture. Halliwell's time as part of the Spice Girls, the pop phenomenon of the late 90s, has effectively set her up for life. Before joining the band her varied CV included stints as a topless model and, bizarrely, a Turkish game show host. As a member of the Spice Girls, Halliwell enjoyed huge transatlantic success with songs such as "Wannabe", "2 Become 1" and "Spice Up Your Life", and was viewed by many in the media as the band's de facto leader. Although featured on the band's August 1998 UK chart-topping single, "Viva Forever", Halliwell had actually left the band in May amid press rumours of disputes and personality clashes with the other members. In a remarkable volte-face, Halliwell shed the provocative outfits she had become famous for wearing in the Spice Girls in favour of a demure new image. Shortly afterwards she became a UN ambassador, responsible for promoting breast cancer awareness. EMI Records won the chase for Halliwell's signature in October 1998, and she set about recording her debut album with an exceptional team of session musicians and writers.
