Charlotte Church was born in 21 February 1986 in Llandaff, Cardiff, she became an international sensation with the release of her debut album, Voice Of An Angel, released just after she'd turned 13. In 1997 she came to the public's attention when she performed Pie Jesu on the television show Talking Telephone Numbers.

Charlotte Church has garnered worldwide acclaim for offering audiences something completely unique: herself. It's a quality that comes across not only in the dynamics and diversity of her repertoire which includes Broadway musicals, opera, chamber music, Gaelic airs and contemporary songs but in the captivating charm and poise of this 16 year-old Welsh singing sensation. She not only has "the voice of an angel," but a "wicked" flare for life.

In November 1998 Charlotte Church's debut album, Voice Of An Angel was released. It topped the classical chart. It wasn't just in the UK that Charlotte Church was proving a hit.

In the course of her musical career, Church has sang for Pope John Paul II, Bill Clinton, George W Bush and the Queen.

We listen to her on Classic FM all the time." Even better, when she met President George W Bush he asked her what state Wales was in!

As she has grown older Charlotte Church has increasingly been interested in pop music and she also been a tabloid favourite, who have reported on her smoking habit, her social activities, and her relationships.

After splitting with 18-year-old boyfriend, DJ Steven Johnson, whom she referred to as her 'bit of rough', Charlotte Church briefly dated Kyle Johnson, and has since moved on to Welsh rugby ace, Gavin Henson.

In 2003, Charlotte Church made her film debut in I'll Be There. In May 2005 Charlotte Church said that her new CD was like marmite i.e. you either love it or hate it. Charlotte Church's new single, Crazy Chick, was scheduled for release on 27 June, followed by her album Tissues and Issues in 11 July. Crazy Chick is influenced by Motown and in the video, Charlotte Church sports a variety of looks from vamp goth to sixties glamoupuss.
