Peter Andre: grab the boom and wait for the wind to pick up

Peter Andre had fun and showed some good skills while learning how to windsurf at Lagoon Watersports in Brighton, England, in 2009.

The popular singer was born on the  27th February, 1973, in London, but lived in Australia since the age of six.

Andre signed a record contract after participating in the Australian talent show "New Faces", in 1990, and two years later released his first single "Gimme Little Sign", followed by the debut album "Peter Andre".

He became increasingly popular after the song "Mysterious Girl", which became a hit in Australia and the UK.

Peter Andre has sold 580 000 albums and 1 000 000 singles in the UK.

Also a television personality, he launched a reality show with Katie Price on ITV2, in 2004, which later led to the individual shows "Katie" and "Pete Andre: My Life".

Andre participated in several other programs, like "Odd One In", "Peter Andre's 60 Minute Makeover", "Sunday Scoop" and "Your Face Sounds Familiar".
