About Katie Melua
Only three years ago a young singer with a silken soft and
dreamy voice touched the hearts of music lovers with songs like
Call of the Search and Nine Million Bicycles. Since then not a day
has passed without Katie Melua on the radio. Her music fits many
tastes because her intimate songs, with universal themes such as
love, happiness and separation, cannot really be categorized in one
genre. Folk, blues and pop have influenced both her debut CD and
the follow-up album Piece by Piece. The intimate austerity in the
instrumental and vocal arrangements is striking. In a short period
of time Melua has developed an attractive, characteristic style.
The CD sales are enormous. The singer was born in Batumi - in
Georgia, former USSR. After that she lived in Moscow, Belfast and
at the age of fourteen she moved with her family to London. It was
at the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology where she was
discovered by the British songwriter Mike Batt. Melua currently
works on her third album.
