Peter Andre Detailed Biography -

Peter Andre was born on February 27, 1973 in Harrow, London, England, but was raised in Australia, and is of Greek Cypriot descent. He is an English-born Australian singer–songwriter and television personality. Andre came on to public notice after appearing on the Australian TV talent show "New Faces" in 1990. Australian music guru and Melodian Records boss Molly Meldrum was one of the judges on the show and signed Andre up after seeing him do a Bobby Brown impression. In 1992, his debut single "Gimme Little Sign" was released, eventually peaking at #3 and lasting 31 weeks on the official ARIA Charts. In 1993, a self-titled album charted well in Australia, while the singles "Funky Junky" and "Let's Get It On/Do You Wanna Dance?" reached the Australian Top 20, and "To The Top" provided an additional Top 50 performance. In 1993, "Gimme Little Sign" picked up an ARIA Award as the highest selling single of the year. He is a successful singer-songwriter. His song "Mysterious Girl" (featuring Bubbler Ranx) reached #2 in the UK singles chart and #8 in Australia. He then had a #1 album Natural, and two UK #1 singles "Flava", and "I Feel You". However, after attempting to transform into an R&B artist rather than pop and releasing a few more singles, his success waned, with his second album Time only reaching #28. In 1998 he released his last single (a cover of the song "Kiss the Girl" from Disney's The Little Mermaid) before being dropped by his music label, and taking a long break from the charts. He joined British media with a stint on the British reality TV series "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!"; during which he met, fell in love with and subsequently married former glamour model Jordan, real name Katie Price. Capitalising on his resurgent popularity and a wave of generational nostalgia, he re-released his breakthrough hit "Mysterious Girl" in 2004, the single finally reaching #1 eight years after the 1996 re-release of the song (it had been released once before in 1995). This marked six years since his last chart appearance. He released a follow-up song, "Insania", which reached #3 in the UK in June 2004. A follow-up album entitled The Long Road Back was also released that month but only reached #44. The next single from the album was "The Right Way" and featured wife, Katie Price in the video. This reached #14 in September 2004. Andre released a rendition of "A Whole New World" from the Disney animated film Aladdin, in which wife Jordan sings the partner vocals of character Jasmine. Andre married Katie Price on 10 September 2005 at Highclere Castle, Berkshire, UK. They became the parents of a baby boy, Junior Savva Andrea, on 13 June 2005, in Westminster, London. Their daughter, Princess Tiaamii, was born by Caesarean section on 29 June 2007. On 27 April 2007, it was reported in several newspapers in the UK that Andre had been diagnosed with meningitis. It was announced on 11 May 2009 that Andre and Price have separated after three and a half years of marriage.
