Born Sinitta Renet Malone in Seattle, the daughter of disco singer Miquel Brown.
Sinitta is currently writing her autobiography in which she is said to be releasing details of her sex life with former lover, Simon Cowell of "Pop Idol" fame.
In 2004, Sinitta appeared on the TV talent show "The X-Factor" where she helped Simon Cowell to pick the best 5 singers from 36 contestants over the age of 25.
Sinitta Renay Malone was born in Washington, USA in 1966, the daughter of soul singer Miquel Brown, but was brought up in England.
Sinitta offered an especially eighties brand of high energy pop which flew to the top of the charts (she barely recorded a single slow song in the whole of the successful part of her career) catapulting her to fame within the pages of Look In and Smash Hits.
Sinitta would later describe herself as "the first Spice Girl", forgetting about all those other pesky women singers that came before her.
Her mother, singer Miquel Brown, was under contract to EMI, and Cowell's parents were temporarily guardians of 14-year-old Sinitta, taking her in to their home while her mother toured.
Sinitta has said that while she was staying with the Cowells, Simon, then 21, tried to seduce her, but stopped cold when she told him how old she was.
They later dated off and on for nearly 20 years, and her first album was released on one of Cowell's early labels.
According to People Magazine, Sinitta is married to businessman Andy Willner but is known to be a former girlfriend of Simon Cowell, and also claims to have had a brief relationship with Hollywood actor Brad Pitt when he visited Britain in 1998.
Flush with the excitement she found in the nightworld Brown toyed with the idea of becoming a professional actress.
By the time she was in college, majoring in Medicine at D.C.'s famed Washington University, she met and had married a dashing man. She had daughter Sinitta Renet Malone in October of 1966.
While on a summer break from college she audtioned for the part of Sheila in the road tour of the hit musical
The record company struggled early on, but with the help of record producer Pete Waterman, founder of Stock Aitken Waterman trio, the label found success in the mid to late 1980s.
Fanfare Records first major artist was singer SinittaMalone, whom Cowell briefly dated.
In 1989 at the age of 30, Cowell became an AandR consultant for BMG.
In the early 1980s, Cowell struck out on his own to start Fanfare Records.
The label received a lukewarm reception, save for one success with a record by his then girlfriend SinittaMalone.
That record was not enough to keep the label afloat, however, and soon Cowell found himself $1 million in debt and forced to move back in with his parents.
