Emma Bunton

English singer/songwriter Emma Bunton is best known as one fifth of the turn-of-the-century pop group the Spice Girls. After capping a whirlwind global takeover with their blockbuster late-'90s albums, the members pursued various solo paths that fit their personalities and musical upbringings.

For the former Baby Spice, this meant a focus on bright dance-pop inspired heavily by 1960s French pop and Motown. Bunton issued her debut "A Girl Like Me" in 2001, following with a pair of efforts that carried her into 2006 with "Life in Mono." Working behind the scenes with other artists and participating in various Spice Girls-related reunions and activities over the years, she released her first official album in over a decade, "My Happy Place," in 2019.

Bunton's television appearances include a recurring role on the BBC One comedy series "Absolutely Fabulous" (2003-2012), being a contestant on the fourth series of the BBC dancing competition show "Strictly Come Dancing," and being a judge on the ITV celebrity skating show "Dancing on Ice" (2010–2011) and entertainment series "Your Face Sounds Familiar" (2013). From 2013 to 2018, she was a radio presenter on the "Heart Breakfast Show" in London with Jamie Theakston. She currently presents her own show on Sunday evenings.
