Faye Louise Tozer (born Northampton, England, November 14, 1975) is a theatre actress and singer who first gained fame as a member of the pop group Steps.

Music

Steps were a pop group that achieved a series of charted singles between 1997 and 2001. Their name was based around a simple marketing gimmick: each of their music videos were choreographed, and the dance steps were included with most of their single releases. Steps formed on 7 May 1997 and disbanded on 26 December 2001. In total Steps have sold over 25 million records, including 15 million albums worldwide.

Since Steps split on December 26, 2001, Faye Tozer has only returned to the pop charts once, duetting with Russell Watson, whom she met at a BBC Proms In The Park concert in 2001. Their UK single "Someone Like You" charted at #10 in May 2002 and she joined him on his extensive UK tour around the same time. In July 2006, Faye was featured as a guest vocalist for Plastic Cinema for 2 songs: "Take Me Under" and "Any Minute Now".

Film and theatre

Most of Tozer's post-Steps work has been in the theatre. In 2004 she toured the UK in a production of Andrew Lloyd-Webber's one-woman musical "Tell Me On A Sunday", where she, Marti Webb and Patsy Palmer would alternate in the same role. In 2005, Tozer toured with the musical "Love Shack", which also featured former pop singers Jon Lee and Noel Sullivan, and performed in a production of "Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens at The Venue Leicester Square.

In 2006 she toured in a production of "Me and My Girl" opposite Sylvester McCoy, acted in the film "Lady Godiva Back in the Saddle" and appeared in the charity fitness DVD "The Allstar Workout".

In 2007, Tozer appeared in a production of "Dial M for Murder" and in October began touring with the production "Over the Rainbow - the Eva Cassidy Story" playing Eva Cassidy. The tour continued into 2008, and ends in November. At Christmas 2007, she appeared in the pantomime "Aladdin" at the Theatre Royal, Newcastle.
