Geri Halliwell

Geraldine Estelle Horner (née Halliwell; born 6 August 1972) is an English singer, songwriter, author, and actress. She rose to prominence in the 1990s as Ginger Spice, a member of the girl group the Spice Girls. With over 100 million records sold worldwide,[1] the Spice Girls are the best-selling female group of all time. Their slogan “girl power” was most closely associated with Halliwell,[2] and her Union Jack dress from the 1997 Brit Awards also became an enduring symbol.[3][4] Halliwell left the Spice Girls in 1998, citing exhaustion and creative differences, but rejoined when they reunited in 2007.[5]

In 1999, Halliwell released her debut solo album, Schizophonic, which produced the UK number-one singles “Mi Chico Latino”, “Lift Me Up” and “Bag It Up”; the lead single, “Look at Me”, reached number two. In 2001, she released her second album, Scream If You Wanna Go Faster; the lead single, “It’s Raining Men”, reached number one in the UK, the biggest hit of her career. “Scream If You Wanna Go Faster” and “Calling”, were also top-ten singles.
