Early life

For a spell of two years, she played Nala in a production of The Lion King on London's West End. In a potentially risky move, she opted to channel this experience of live singing into an audition for the returning Popstars, a TV talent show in which young hopefuls sought to be picked for a place in a new manufactured group. For the second series, Popstars: The Rivals, the format had been altered to allow for the creation of two groups, one boy-group and one girl-group, that would, in theory at least,though in practice failed to, battle it out for chart dominance.

In the summer of 2003, Javine released her debut single "Real Things", which featured a sample of M.O.P.'s hit "Ante Up".
