Activity Biography

Victoria Caroline Adams was born April 17, 1974, in Hertfordshire, England. She has two siblings, Brother Christian and Sister Louise, and her parents, Jackie and Tony, ran a successful electrical wholesale business and were well-off by most standards.

Such a personality made her an unlikely candidate for pop stardom, but Victoria Beckham found herself in a band while in school. She studied at the Jason Theatre School as a child and moved on to the Laine Arts Theatre College, where she also dabbled in dance and modeling.

Although her original band never took off, her life was forever changed when she decided to answer an ad in The Stage that was looking for five women who could sing and dance to form a group.

Little did Victoria know that this ad would lead to a group called the Spice Girls, which would leave an indelible mark in music history. Released in 1996, the Spice Girls' first single, "Wannabe," and their debut album, Spice, were smash hits in the U.S. and abroad. Victoria, along with her band mates Emma, Geri, and the two Mels, became instant household names, with success that changed the face of pop culture and gave new meaning to "girl power."

In 2004, Victoria Beckham designed a fashion line for Rock and Republic called "VB Rocks," which consisted mainly of jeans for the high-end market. Two years later she came out with "DVB Eyewear" and, that same year, she and husband David came out with his-and-hers fragrances, Intimately Beckham. In June 2007, Victoria launched her "dVb" denim collection.
