Charlotte Church (born February 21, 1986) is a soprano from Cardiff. She introduced her aunt on ITV's Big Big Talent Show in 1998 and was asked to sing and was heard by Jonathan Shalit, who then helped her to secure a record contract with Sony Classical at age 12.
Charlotte is as much a celebrity as a singer and her looks and popular repertoire have made her a great commercial success. Recently she has moved from her classical repertoire to more contemporary music.
In the past couple of years, she has provoked some controversy (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/1682860.stm) with remarks on the September 11, 2001 attacks and saying that agents are turning her down because of her weight.
