Full Calvin Goldspink Biography
Calvin Goldspink (born January 24, 1989) is an English actor and former child pop star. He first came to notice as a member of the juvenile pop band S Club Juniors (the band changed its name to S Club 8 after S Club 7 split up). After being born in Great Yarmouth, he moved with his family to Aberdeen. For three years running, Goldspink won the Popjustice readers' poll award for "Most Inappropriately Fanciable Popstar". He attended Cults Academy in Aberdeen.
At the age of 12 he auditioned for the chance to perform onstage with the hugely successful S Club 7. Chosen from 12,000 hopefuls live on the BBC, the band were originally only supposed to be supporting S Club 7 on their Carnival tour but after such an incredible public response the band "S Club Juniors" were formed and had instant chart success with their first single One Step Closer reaching #2 in the UK charts.
He was part of an 8-piece pop band signed to Simon Fuller's 19 Management and Universal Records subsidy Polydor. As S Club Juniors, the band had four top 10 singles and a platinum top 5 album Together and in 2003 had a tour of their own "S Club United Tour" performing their infectious blend of pop music and slick dance routines to sold-out arenas across the UK and Ireland. To top the year off, the Juniors won "best newcomer" at the Disney Channel Kids Awards.
After having been in the music industry for almost 2 years, and after the disbandment of S Club 7, the band was re-named "S Club 8" and it had another hit album Sundown which produced three further top 20 singles, proving its staying power with a minor UK following.
In 2004 the band spent 3 months in Barcelona, Spain, filming a children’s BBC television programme I Dream which was about a group of kids winning a place at a secret stage school where they all played themselves and starred alongside Christopher Lloyd. Calvin said, "It was an amazing experience to be filming a show with one of my idols; Back to The Future is one of my all time favourite movies." The show was an instant hit in the UK, and is now on screens across Europe and Australia. An album, Welcome to Avalon Heights was released to accompany the series, along with a duet from Frankie and Calvin, "Dreaming" which was to be their last single.
SOLO ALBUM Calvin will start recording his first solo album in LA this winter. After filming 'Life is Wild'
Songwriters and producers who contributed to this album include Korpi & Blackcell, Jewels & Stone, Yakk Bondy, Hannah Robinson and former Dead Or Alive members Tim Lever and Mike Percy. The track One Thing I Know was co-written by former Spice Girl, Emma Bunton, who also provided backing vocals.

In January 2007 he moved to LA after being spotted at Speech Level Singing Camp by a lady who is now his manager. He got the part of 'Oliver Banks' after his manager told him to go to audtions during pilot season when he had time off from recording his first solo album. 'Life is Wild' was his first audtion.
