Formerly sporty spice of the Spice Girls, Melanie C is a successful solo artist. Melanie C has co-written 11 number one's (from the Spice days and solo work). Melanie, now in her 30s, has ditched the "sporty/tomboy" image and has moved towards a sophisticated and chic look.
Her first solo album, Northern Star, went triple platinum in the UK and was well received internationally. Her second album, Reason, sold over half a million copies, but was less of a success than her first, and Melanie was dropped from Virgin records.
In 2004 Melanie created her own record company, Red Girl Records, and began work on her new album. In 2005 Melanie released her third album, Beautiful Intentions, and the song First Day of My Life has become an international success. It has received much commercial success in countries like Germany, Portugal and Spain.
Melanie C continues to tour around Europe and is working on a fourth album. To date, Melanie C seems to be the only ex-Spice to have a successful music career.

Melanie C:
So I found a reason to stay alive
Try a little harder see the other side
Talking to myself
Too many sleepless nights
Trying to find a meaning to this stupid life
I don't want your sympathy
Sometimes I don't know who to be
Hey what you're looking for
No one has the answer
They just want more
Hey who's gonna make it right
This could be the first
Day of my life
So I found a reason to stay alive
Try a little harder see the other side
Talking to myself
Too many sleepless nights
Trying to find a meaning to this stupid life
I don't want your sympathy
Sometimes I don't know who to be
Hey what you're looking for
No one has the answer
They just want more
Hey who's gonna make it right
This could be the first
Day of my life
