Biography
British pop band, commercially created with six months of auditions and playoffs to select five attractive and talented young people. The producers ended up with Lisa Scott-Lee, Ian Watkins (H), Claire Richards, Lee Latchford-Evans and Faye Tozer. After careful grooming, Steps rocketed into the UK charts in late 1997 with their upbeat single, "5-6-7-8." The song stayed in the top 40 for three months, selling over 290,000 copies.
Proving their staying power, they put out another catchy single and a ballad. By 1/02/1999, Steps hit the top of the charts, the No.1 spot. They toured steadily, including the U.S. in July 1999. In the short space of two and a half years, Steps have gone from a line dancing group to the five coolest and most loved people on earth.
On 2/11/1997, 4:30 PM, Steps began to host a TV variety show.
Four of the group members have their data on AstroDatabank. The fifth, Ian Watkins, was born on May 8, 1976, time unknown. The slender blond is known by his nickname, "H," standing for Hyperactive. He grew up in Llwyniphia in Rhondda, Wales and retains that lovely Welsh accent.
