Dane Bowers

Another Level band member

Bowers started out with the R&B boyband, Another Level, and went on to collaborate with True Steppers and Victoria Beckham. He also had a much publicised relationship with the glamour model, Jordan. Dane anchored the R&B quartet Another Level. They had seven Top Ten singles in two years in the UK, including the Number One smash hit "Freak Me"; and a platinum selling, self-titled debut album.

After the group split, Bowers wrote and fronted two UK Top Ten hits, for the UK Garage act Truesteppers including, "Buggin'" and "Out Of Your Mind". The latter featured the first solo outing of Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham."Out Of Your Mind" reached number two, but was beaten to the Number one spot in a highly publicised "chart battle" by Spiller featuring Sophie Ellis-Bextor with "Groovejet (If this aint love)".

Bowers subsequently went on to focus on behind the scenes work, writing and producing, including a collaboration for Victoria Beckham's debut solo album, in the autumn of that year. He has also ventured into presenting, co-hosting Popstars: The Rivals "Extra" show with the former Pop Idol contestant, Hayley Evetts.

More recently Dane has concentrated on producing and writing but also had time to appear on MTV’s Totally Boy band, in which five boy band members from past groups were modelled into a new singing act. The group featured him alongside Lee Latchford Evans of Steps, Jimmy Constable of 911, New Kids on the Block's Danny Wood and S Club's Bradley McIntosh
