Geri began performing on a Turkish TV show as a glamour girl. She has always wanted to be in the spot light and got her big break with the spice Girls who stormed both British and American charts with numerous number one singles and two number one albums. Geri was always looked upon as the leader of the Spice Girls by the public with her ability to show the world Girl Power. Unfortunately one of the group saw her differently and got jealous of the limelight being stolen. The member of the group being Scary Spice Mel G. So Geri left, took some time off to try and re-invent herself. She appeared in the spotlight for the first time since the break up at Prince Charles 50th birthday celebration, singing him Happy Birthday on stage in front of a massive TV audience. Her next few appearance did not include music, instead she decided to campaign for the awareness of breast cancer, a tumor she suffered from when she was younger and she became the UN Goodwill Ambassador.

She came out with a new image covering up more body but speaking more from her soul. In between her hectic schedule, which she spent much time with George Michael, she was writing songs with a solo career in mind. Finally she came out with her first solo single 'Look At Me'. It stormed into number two in the British chart and was played endless hours over the radio, with the phrase she's back being used almost every time. But it hasn't stopped there because her second single went straight into number one confirming she's climbed the ladder of success by herself.
