"It's a huge move for me to be going solo, but I'm looking forward to the challenge. It's also quite nerve-racking having been surrounded by six friends for four years, but I love the new single and other material I've been working on and we're all very supportive of each other."

| Stevens was an integral part of the success of British pop group S Club (formerly S Club 7) since their 1999 debut. Together, they notched chart-toppers like "Don't Stop Movin'," established a successful TV show and cultivated a large following of pre-teens all over the world. Though they are now broken up, the dream certainly isn't over -- Stevens is well positioned to tear up the charts once again, with an upcoming solo record set for release in September 2003. |

| Without hyperbole, pop sensation and knockout Rachel Stevens is, in our opinion, the hottest Brit to ever catch our eye. Her looks almost make us forget that she is quite the accomplished singer and needs not rely on that killer body to bring in the dough. Of course, she would never be in the poorhouse if she had to depend on it... |

Mark April 9th down on your calendar, for this is the day you should observe a very important celebration: Rachel Lauren Stevens' birthday, of course. Born in 1978 in London, England, she showed a flair for entertaining even as a toddler. At 5 years old, she had already begun drama school, but gravitated toward fashion as the years wore on. An early highlight came at the age of 15, when she beat out 4999 competitors in a modeling competition sponsored by Just 17 magazine.
After attending the London School of Fashion and working in PR, Stevens changed her mind, and gravitated toward a career in music instead -- she had always displayed a real talent for singing. An audition for a new British pop band came up, and, after several cuts and callbacks, Stevens was selected as one of the seven members of the band, joining Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt, Paul Cattermole, Jon Lee, Jo O'Meara, and Tina Barrett.
Called S Club 7, the group and its managers at Polydor Records aimed to find a niche in the very convoluted UK pop market. They did this by marketing an array of both fast-paced tracks and ballads while simultaneously working on a TV deal.
Fame was almost immediate for this group of talented twenty-somethings, as their first single "Bring It All Back" debuted at No. 1 on the UK charts in June of 1999. "S Club Party" followed up as their No. 2 hit in September, and their self-titled album sold like hotcakes on the strength of these hits. Their success spurned the debut of their popular TV series S Club 7 in Miami. The winter ushered in the song "Two In A Million" and, of course, more success.
Though at times restrained in the group's wholesome, teeny-bopper image, Stevens reveled in the spotlight and received most of the media attention as the band's hottest member. More flattering comments came after Interscope Records picked up the band's American distribution rights in 2000, and released the band's albums across the ocean. Always working on -- and writing -- new songs, 7 saw their fan base grow with two more hits in the spring: "Don't Stop Movin'" and "Never Had a Dream Come True." |
