Katie Melua Biography
Plucked from music school obscurity by songwriter/producer Mike
Batt, Katie Melua saw her debut bolt up the U.K. charts upon its
release there in late 2003. Melua was born in Soviet Georgia in 1984.
Eventually, she and her family moved to Belfast, Ireland, and finally
to London, where Melua entered the B.R.I.T. School for the Performing
Arts & Technology. The record industry-funded school had a habit of
graduating talented performing artists (Floetry, for example), and
Melua became its next success when a 2003 showcase caught the attention
of Batt, who'd been looking for a vocalist capable in both jazz and
blues styles. Call Off the Search was issued in the U.K. in November
2003 through Batt's Dramatico Records imprint. A comfortable, extremely
tasteful blend of jazz vocals, pop style, and adult contemporary sway,
the album featured two cuts penned by Melua (including a tribute to one
of her biggest influences, Eva Cassidy), as well as covers of material
from John Mayall, Randy Newman, and the James Shelton classic Lilac
Wine. The single Closest Thing to Crazy hit number one in December,
and by January of the following year, Call Off the Search had gone
platinum (300,000 units in the U.K.). Gigs in Europe followed, and in
May 2004 Melua made her way to the U.S. for a round of club dates
supporting the album's domestic release. She achieved even greater
success with her 2005 follow-up, Piece by Piece, a heady blend of
worldbeat and jazz-pop that topped both the international and British
charts before setting its sights on the U.S. market in 2006. ~ Johnny
