How it all started: Geraldine Estelle
Halliwell was born to a Spanish mother and an English/Swedish
father in Watford, UK, on August 6, 1972. After taking her
A-Levels at Camden School for Girls, she worked as a dancer, a
presenter on a Turkish game show and a glamour model. In 1994
she responded to an ad inviting applicants for an all-girl vocal
band – and became one fifth of the most successful girl band of
the nineties as Ginger Spice.
The Spice Girls released
their debut single in 1996. The single was Wannabe and
immediately hit number one in 31 countries – with Spice Girls
continuing to become the phenomenon they were. Geri Halliwell
was the first to leave the group in May 1998, as rumours had it,
due to internal conflicts.
Shortly after leaving the
group, she apeared in a short Channel 4 documentary, Geri, and
in the autumn of 1998 became a Goodwill Ambassador for the
United Nations. She confirmed her solo career with her first
album, Schizophonic, which was released in 1999. More albums
soon followed and she remains the most successful solo singing
Spice.
