Katie Melua Chats to ilikemusic.com

Her sensational voice caught the attention of Terry Wogan who, as he did with Eva Cassidy, chose to pioneer Katie, playing the single 'The Closest Thing To Crazy' throughout the summer of 2003. Michael Parkinson had also picked up the mantle giving her frequent air-time on his show. The release of the single saw Katie achieving her first hit single entering the charts at number 10.

Music, both the creation and performance is obviously a deep passion for Katie:

"I started writing songs in 2001 and have, with my parents help, a small studio set up at home. I strongly believe that music should be performed live and that great artists are original and talented in their music performance. I always get a warm feeling when I see someone holding a guitar or violin case on the street. It's like I know I'd get on with that person. I always smile and say hi!"

The end of 2003 was a very exciting time for Katie. She was invited to perform at the Royal Variety, where she met the Queen who said 'I have heard your record on the radio, it is very nice'.
