Biography

Melanie Janine Brown McPhee, MBE (born 29 May 1975), commonly known as Mel B or Melanie B, is a British singer, songwriter, dancer, television personality, and actress. She rose to fame in the mid-1990s as a member of the pop group the Spice Girls, in which she was nicknamed Scary Spice. With over 100 million records sold worldwide, the Spice Girls are the best-selling female group of all time. The group went on an indefinite hiatus in 2000, before reuniting for a greatest hits album (2007) and two concert tours: the Return of the Spice Girls (2007–2008) and Spice World (2019).
