Katie Melua (Ketevan "Katie" Melua ) was born in Georgia in 1984 growing up in the capital Tbilisi and later the seaside town of Batumi.
The family left Georgia when Katie was 8 and moved to Belfast due to her father’s profession as a heart surgeon. When Katie told this to one of her teachers later on in England he described the move as: "from the frying pan into the fire".
She never really viewed it as that because she had a great childhood both in Georgia and Northern Ireland.
Melua is signed to the small Dramatico record label, under the management of songwriter Mike Batt, and made her musical debut in 2003. She is, as of 2006, the United Kingdom's biggest-selling female artist and Europe's highest selling European female artist.
In November 2003, at the age of 19, Melua released her first album, Call off the Search, which reached the top of the United Kingdom album charts and sold 1.8 million copies in its first five months of release.
Her second album, Piece by Piece, was released in September 2005 and to date has gone platinum four times. |
