Charlotte
Maria Church was born on February 21, 1986 in Llandaff, Cardiff,
Wales, United Kingdom to Michael Reed and his wife Maria. The couple
separated shortly after the child's birth, and she was left in
her mother's care. She started singing publicly when she was only
three and a half years old, singing the _Ghostbusters (1984)_ theme
with her cousin at a seaside holiday camp in Caernarfon, Wales.
She came to public notice after an appearance on the UK daytime
magazine program, "This Morning" (aka "Richard and
Judy") and then made an impromptu appearance on 'The Big,
Big Talent Show'. She came on to say a few words about her aunt
Caroline, who was also making an appearance on the show, and the
show's host, Jonathan Ross, asked her to sing. She stole the show
and immediately became an overnight sensation in her native Wales.
More television and concert appearances followed, such as the ones
at Cardiff Arms Park in Wales, the London Palladium, and the Royal
Albert Hall, and opening for Shirley Bassey in Antwerp, Belgium.
She was signed to Sony Music (UK) and has released three best selling
albums of popular classics.
