SPICE GIRLS


BIOGRAPHY
The Spice Girls - Posh Spice (b. Victoria Adams, 17 April 1975, Goff's Oak, Hertfordshire, England), Mel B / Scary Spice (b. Melanie Janine Brown, 29 May 1975, Leeds, Yorkshire, England), Baby Spice (b. Emma Lee Bunton, 21 January 1976, Barnet, England), Mel C / Sporty Spice (b. Melanie Jayne Chisholm, 12 January 1974, Liverpool, Merseyside, England), and Geri Halliwell /Ginger Spice (b. Geraldine Halliwell, 18 August 1972, Watford, Hertfordshire, England - this birthdate is the matter of some conjecture) - met at various unsuccessful auditions for film and dance jobs and the five ended up sharing a house in Maidenhead, Berkshire, in late 1993.
They started writing and demoing songs, until manager Simon Fuller took them on in May 1995. A record deal with Virgin Records followed and by June 1996, the single Wannabe, an expression of the girl power philosophy, with a deliciously silly rap interlude, was on its way to number 1 in the UK.
