Katherine Jenkins
In 2004, at the age of 23, Katherine Jenkins signed the largest record
deal in UK classical recording history, with an undisclosed seven-figure
deal. Released in April 2004, Katherine's classical chart-topping debut
album Premiere, is a mix of old standards including Ave Maria and The
Lord Is My Shepherd, plus a smattering of traditional Welsh songs and
new interpretations of classic tunes by Handel, Bach, Erik Satie and others.
Before signing to Universal Classics, Katherine had worked as a music
teacher. The catalyst for her pursuit of success was the death of her
father when she was just 15 years old. In 2004 she performed at Westminster
Cathedral, Sydney Opera House, the Royal Albert Hall and Cardiff's Millennium
Stadium. In October the same year, Katherine's second album, Second Nature,
was released, reaching number 16 in the UK pop charts.2005 saw appearances
at Tsunami Relief Cardiff and the G8 concert, Live 8, in Berlin. Katherine
also became the new forces' sweetheart, performing at the VE Day anniversary
concert at Trafalgar Square, at which she was introduced by Dame Vera
Lynn. She went on to perform for the troops in Iraq in December 2005 and
2006.
Following the release of Katherine's third album, Living A Dream, in October
2005, her three albums occupied the first three positions in the classical
crossover music charts, making her the first artist to achieve this. The
album earned Katherine her second Classical Brit award, following her
win the previous year for Second Nature. Her fourth, Serenade, was released
in 2006, followed by Rejoice in 2007 and Sacred Arias in 2008, her last
recording for Universal before signing with Warner Music for allegedly
the biggest classical recording deal in history. The album Believe was
released in 2009. Katherine's high profile has led to appearances on many
different platforms, ranging from a cameo role in Emmerdale to catwalk
modelling for Naomi Campbell's Fashion Relief charity event; an appearance
in The Apprentice to Last Night Of The Proms in Hyde Park; singing alongside
Rhydian Roberts in the X Factor finakl to her Viva La Diva tour with ballerina
Darcey Bussell.
