    Peter James Andrea, better known as Peter Andre, is an English/Australian pop singer–songwriter.

    Born 27th February 1973, Andre was discovered on the Australian television talent show New Faces in 1990. This led to him signing a record contract and releasing the single Drive Me Crazy in 1992. This was followed by his debut studio album Peter Andre in 1993. It was a big hit in his native Australia, producing the number three hit Gimme Little Sign, which went on to become the biggest selling single of the year in Australia, as well as the Top 20 hits Funky Junky and Let’s Get It On/Do You Wanna Dance?

    Andre’s next album Natural was his international breakthrough. Released in November 1996, it produced six singles in total, including the breakthrough single Mysterious Girl (which reached the Top 10 in charts around the world) and the UK number one hits Flava and I Feel You. The album eventually reached number one in the UK Albums Chart and was certified platinum shortly afterwards.

    The singer tried to transform himself into an R&B star with his 1998 release Time, but it was a critical and commercial flop. Following this, Andre spent several years out of the limelight before appearing on the 2004 British reality television show I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! During his stint in the jungle he gained a large amount of publicity, particularly due to his blossoming relationship with the glamour model Katie Price (aka Jordan), and after returning to the UK he re-released Mysterious Girl, scoring a UK number one hit. He subsequently produced the 2004 album The Long Road Back and scored another Top 3 single with Insania.

    Andre’s latest album Revelation was released in September 2009. It shot to number three on the UK Albums Chart and produced two singles in total: Behind Closed Doors and Unconditional.
