Melanie Janine Brown, also known as Mel B, was born in Harehills, Leeds and grew up in Burley. Her father, Martin Brown, has Caribbean roots while her mother is British. To prepare for the entertainment industry, she studied performing arts at Intake High School. She then worked as a dancer and was once a part of the band “Touch” before her career skyrocketed.
Mel B gained her popularity as “Scary Spice” in the all-girl group Spice Girls where she usually sported loud animal prints (with leopard being her favorite) along with her untamed afro of curls that was sometimes accented by horns wrapped in ribbon.
The band has reached their fame with their debut single “Wannabe” which is a top hit. It became a certified multi-platinum in 27 countries and sold over 30-million copies. The band had three more albums and a movie before deciding to go on their own and pursue solo projects.
During the Spice Girls hiatus, Mel B released a solo album of her own. Her first single “I Want You”, with Missy Elliot, sold 80,000 copies in the first week making Mel B no. 1 on the UK singles chart. Her debut solo album “Hot” was released in 2000 with three Top 5 singles.
In 2005, her second album “L.A. State of Mind” was released but her fans were not impressed and so it was considered a big failure. With this, the singer decided to change her path of career and became a television presenter on the show “This Is My Moment”. She then focused on acting and soon got an opportunity to work in a sitcom “Burn”.
Mel B is also an author. She released her autobiography “Catch a Fire” in 2002 and reached No. 7 on book sales charts. She eventually launched a signature fashion “Catty Couture” and was contracted to be the face of Ultimo Underwear in the UK. In 2013, Mel B was invited to be a judge on “America’s Got Talent” and been on the panel until 2019 where she decided to leave. She also served as a coach and mentor on “The Voice” kids Australia in 2014 and became a presenter in the British version of Lip Sync Battle in 2016.
