Biography

Charlotte Church (born Charlotte Maria Reed on 21 February 1986) is a Welsh singer-songwriter, actress and television presenter. She rose to fame in childhood as a classical singer before branching into pop music in 2005. By 2007, she had sold more than 10,500,000 albums worldwide and is said to be worth as much as £20m. She recently hosted the third series of her Channel 4 chat show The Charlotte Church Show. Church currently has two children, Ruby Megan Henson and Dexter Lloyd Henson.

Life and music career

Early life

Charlotte Church was born Charlotte Maria Reed[2] in Llandaff, a district of Cardiff, Wales.[3] She was raised Roman Catholic by her mother, Maria, who was separated from Church’s biological father, Stephen Reed. Church was adopted by her mother’s second husband, James Church in 1998. Her break came at 11 when she sang “Pie Jesu” over the telephone on the television show “This Morning” in 1997, followed by her performance on ITV’s Big, Big Talent Show in 1997[4]. This led to concerts at Cardiff Arms Park, the Royal Albert Hall and opening for Shirley Bassey in Antwerp. She also received a vocal scholarship to Howell’s School Llandaff in Cardiff where she started in 1998. She balanced performing and school with help from tutors for when she was on the road and said in many interviews that she was “just like every other girl her age”.

    Two is pretty flipping fab. The weirder she gets, the better the tunes.

    Leadmill posted EP TWO to their wall on Facebook and I listened to it just out of curiosity if nothing else and I have to say it's very nice stuff I'm hearin.

    Listening to "One & Two" right now and am utterly in awe. I loved "Back to Scratch" more than I thought but kinda forgot about it until I stumbled across these EPs on Spotify. They are GOOD and I'm in love.

    "I can't help but think that there would be a lot of hype around her EPs if they had been released by a 'new' and unheard of female artist," Couldn't agree more.

    @adelinadarkstar: You should definitely give Back to Scratch a few more goes, it's a great album.

    I haven't given her a listen since that last album....I didn't really like it on first impression maybe I should listen again? I don't know......But Tissues and Issues was the last work I really gave a thorough listen and actually loved

    Her new music is sublime. Almost Bjork crossed with Florence and The Machine covering Kate Bush, with the kind of beautiful strangeness of some of the finer elements of the Scandinavian female led alternative scene. Haunting and atmospheric, and even better live, as I found out on Wednesday in Bath! I can't help but think that there would be a lot of hype around her EPs if they had been released by a 'new' and unheard of female artist, Charlotte deserves a lot of recognition for her latest work!

    God her new stuff is so good. Shame it's getting snowed under here by the Christmas album everyone is listening to.

    I've never been a fan of her music.... But the track "How not to be surprised when you're a ghost" is pretty good... Would've been better if this wasn't under a solo project but actually had this under some band name
