Katie Melua was born in Georgia (former USSR) in 1984, growing up


under the communist regime in the capital, Tbilisi. The family


left Georgia when Katie was eight and moved to Belfast where her


father got a job as a heart surgeon. Katie didn't always want to


be a singer or songwriter. Her ambition when she was thirteen was


to be a politician or a historian "I honestly thought I'd be able


to bring peace to the world...if I ruled it!)" The family lived in


Belfast for five years before moving to South East London. At


sixteen, Katie joined the BRIT School for Performing Arts.

Composer/producer Mike Batt paid a visit to the school. Katie


signed to Batt's record label Dramatico, but stayed at the BRIT


School to complete her studies where she graduated with


distinction in July 2003.

Unable to secure a contract with a Major record company, Katie and


Mike decided to put her album Call Off The Search (containing the


song "The Closest Thing To Crazy" out on Batt's own, small record


label. After an appearance on The Royal Variety Show, 19 year old


Katie shot to the top of the UK album charts and became the


biggest selling female artist for the next two years. Her two


albums, (the second of which contained the hit "Nine Million


Bicycles" have sold more than 10 million copies to date. She and


her family took British nationality in 2005. In December 2007,


Katie topped the charts with a duet with her idol, the late Eva


Cassidy, entitled "What A Wonderful World", with proceeds from the


single going to support the UK work of the British Red Cross.

The past years have been quite extraordinary for Katie (now 24).


She has had a Dutch tulip named in her honor, met and played for


Nelson Mandela in South Africa visiting his Aids charity, has


become a hard working Ambassador for Save The Children, raced at


160mph around Grand Prix, flown a plane, learned to dive and


parachute freefall, set a Guinness World Record for deepest


underwater concert (19 miles under water on a gas rig in the North


Sea), and picked up various prestigious awards within Europe,


including a World Music Award, a Golden Camera Award, and two


German Echo Awards.

Katie's third studio album, Pictures, confirms Katie's status as a


unique and remarkable vocalist, and reveals the third chapter of


what is destined to be a long musical career.
