1999 was an iconic year for me. It was the year that I purchased the first album I ever owned - The writings on the wall by Destiny's Child.
Like most girls around that time I was boy band and girl group crazy. The pop culture had submerged me in the sounds of the Backstreet boys, *NSYNC, Boyzone, Westlife, Eternal, TLC, All saints and lest we forget the Spice girls. My bedroom was full of the faces of celebrities that I pulled out from Mizz Magazine and Smash Hits. In my head I was married to all the members of backstreet boys (except Howie - I never really connected with Howie) and I genuinely believed I was the lead singer of a successful girl band who were yet to be discovered.
