Mini bio
How it started.
Geri grew up in Watford and worked as a dancer and television presenter before music became her career. In 1994 she answered an advertisement in The Stage for a new girl group. That group became the Spice Girls, with Geri, Mel B, Melanie C, Victoria Beckham and Emma Bunton.
Finding her voice.
“Wannabe” introduced the Spice Girls to the world in 1996. As Ginger Spice, Geri helped give their girl power message its voice and wore the Union Jack dress at the 1997 BRIT Awards. After leaving the group in 1998, she launched her solo career with Schizophonic in 1999. Her solo run brought four UK number-one singles, including “It’s Raining Men”.
Stories in new forms.
Geri’s storytelling stretches from the Ugenia Lavender children’s books to Rainbow Woman, the YouTube series she wrote, directed and executive produced. In 2023 she introduced Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen, followed by Ice on Fire in 2025. She narrates the audiobooks, and the books give readers access to her original songs.
What she is building now.
Alongside acting and music, Geri continues the Rosie Frost series. Publisher Philomel lists Rosie Frost and the End of Time for 6 April 2027. Away from her creative work, she supports children’s literacy and Childline; Sheffield Hallam recognised her work for young people, women’s rights and music with an honorary doctorate in 2022.
