Emma Lee Bunton (born 21 January 1976) is an English singer, songwriter, media personality, and actress.

Her second album, Free Me (2004), included the top five single “Free Me”, and the top ten singles “Maybe” and “I’ll Be There”. Following the release of her third studio album, Life in Mono (2006), which included the successful single “Downtown”, Bunton reunited with the Spice Girls in 2007 for a one-off international tour and greatest hits album. In 2019, she released her fourth studio album, My Happy Place, and reunited with the Spice Girls for a tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland.
