Born
in England and raised in Australia, Sophie Monk had dreams
of becoming an opera singer before a reality show changed
the course of her destiny. That show was the Australian version
of Popstars, and when Sophie heard the program was auditioning
members for an all-girl band in 1999, she put aside her classical
ambitions and hopped in her car.
Luckily, the show's
judges liked what they saw and Sophie was invited to join
the newly christened Bardot.

Thanks to Popstars' immense
marketing push, the group's self-titled debut went multi-platinum
and was followed by a successful sophomore effort that included
catchy hits like "ASAP" and "I Need Somebody."
After a couple of years of touring and hundreds of personal appearances,
Bardot eventually decided to split in 2002.
Free to pursue her own interests,
Sophie headed back into the studio to record her first solo single,
"Inside Outside." That was followed by her successful
debut solo album, Calendar Girl. According to Sophie, "The
album is very much a representation of who I am, and I think that's
why it has ended up being such an up-tempo bunch of songs... This
is the kind of stuff that's cool for parties!"
Not content with being just
a singing sensation, Sophie has recently begun a second career as
an actress. In 2004, she played fellow blonde beauty Marilyn Monroe
in the TV movie The Mystery of Natalie Wood and makes her big-screen
debut in the 2006 films Click and Date Movie. Her role in Click
has her understandably excited. "I play David Hasselhoff's
secretary and she gets around a bit -- it's quite a role,"
she says. "I end up in bed with Adam Sandler, It's so surreal
it's hysterical. This is the biggest thing I have ever done, there's
no comparison."
