About Saffron (singer)

Samantha Marie Sprackling, known professionally as Saffron, is an English singer, songwriter and actress. She is the lead singer of pop-rock band Republica.

When she was 18, Sprackling successfully auditioned for Arlene Phillips, which got her a part in the musical Starlight Express.

Saffron was the live on-stage vocalist of N-Joi's 1990 hit Anthem and appeared as a dancer in the video for their single "Mindflux". She appeared in the music video for the Chesney Hawkes 1991 hit "The One and Only." Saffron then had a brief career as a solo artist. One of her singles, a cover of Atlantic Starr's "Circles", charted at #60 in the UK in 1993.

Sprackling had met Republica keyboard players Tim Dorney and Andy Todd by 1994, and they started writing songs after recruiting a guitarist and drummer. Republica released two albums and disbanded in 2001 after their record label, Deconstruction Records, collapsed.

In 2010, Republica reformed and released a re-recording of their 1996 hit "Ready to Go" on 7 June. During early October and November 2014, Republica toured the United Kingdom in support of the Boomtown Rats' "Ratlife" tour.

Sprackling is of Chinese, English, and Portuguese descent.
