Tina Ann Barrett (born 16 September 1976) is a London based singer-songwriter and actress. Her major breakthrough came in 1999, at the age of 22 when she became a member of the pop group/band, S Club 7 where she enjoyed five years of hit singles, arena tours and awards, including two Brit Awards.
Early Career:
She was at London's Arts Educational School for a period of eight years. Her first job was dancing in a pantomime with Lionel Blair. She was originally going to be in the band Face 2 Face, which later went on to become Mis-Teeq. She assisted with the group's choreography during her time there.
1998-2003: S Club (7)
Barrett became a member of S Club 7 after a series of auditions along with members Paul Cattermole, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh, Jo O'Meara, Hannah Spearritt and Rachel Stevens in 1999.[1]. During five years they released four number one singles and one number one album. They also had a series of TV shows, which were: Miami 7, L.A. 7, Hollywood 7 and Viva S Club, and they also starred in a film, Seeing Double. Barrett led some of the tracks on the groups' albums, such as "I'll Be There" and "Stronger". Stronger was set to be a single, but was cancelled when Paul Cattermole left the group. The six remaining members stayed together until 2003, when they split after releasing their greatest hits album.
2003-2009
In 2004, Barrett, along with singers Natasha Bedingfield and Atomic Kitten member Liz McClarnon, recorded a single, a cover of Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? by Rod Stewart.
She kept a relatively low profile for about six years after the split. When S Club first announced they were to break up, she expressed interest in working on a solo career.[2] However, there was no information about Barrett beginning a career as a solo.
S Club reunion
In 2008, Tina and Jon Lee supposedly signed up to join Bradley McIntosh, Paul Cattermole and Jo O'Meara in their mini S Club pubs and clubs tour, but neither her or Jon performed with the group
[edit] 2009-present: New album
Tina has been planning to release an album for a while. In 2009, Tina started recording new material. She performed her first single, "Fire" at "Born Free Wild and Live" at the Royal Albert Hall in November 2009.
