Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Katie Melua ma ka lā 16 o Kepakemapa, 1984 ma Kutaisi. No ka neʻe pinepine ʻana o ka ʻohana o ke kaikamahine, ua hala kona wā kamaliʻi ma Tbilisi a me Batumi. Ua pono au e hele ma muli o ka hana a koʻu makuakāne, he kauka ʻoka. A i ka makahiki 8, ua haʻalele ʻo Katie i kona ʻāina hānau, a noho pū me kona ʻohana ma Northern Ireland, ma ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Belfast.
ʻAʻole maʻalahi ka hele mau ʻana, no ka mea pono e hoʻololi i nā kūlana hou i kēlā me kēia manawa. Akā, manaʻo ʻo Cathy ua hauʻoli loa kona wā kamaliʻi. Ua mālama maikaʻi ʻia ʻo ia a me kona kaikunāne, a ua maʻalahi lāua i hoʻolauna.
Ua aʻo ke kaikamahine i kahi kula Katolika Irish, a hele kona kaikaina i kahi kula Protestant. I kēlā mau lā, ʻaʻole i noʻonoʻo ʻo Katie e pili ana i kahi ʻoihana hana. Ua makemake au e hoʻohui i koʻu ola me ka mōʻaukala a i ʻole ka politika.
Ma hope o ka noho ʻana ma Belfast no ʻelima mau makahiki, neʻe hou ka ʻohana, i kēia manawa i ke kapikala o Great Britain - Lākana.
Ka Laki Nui Akahi a Katie Melua
ʻO ka ʻike hīmeni mua a Katie, ʻo ia ke komo ʻana i ka hoʻokūkū mele a nā keiki, i kapa ʻia ʻo "The Stars Turn Up Their Noses." A loaʻa koke i ka mea mele he 15 mau makahiki i ka lanakila kupaianaha - ua lilo ʻo ia i lanakila! Ua hauʻoli ka haku mele ʻo Mariah Carey Without You no ke kaikamahine, akā ʻaʻole ʻo ia i helu i kekahi mea, e komo ana i ka hoʻolei ʻana no ka leʻaleʻa.
He hoʻomaka maikaʻi loa kahi diploma mai ke kula ʻo British School of Performing Arts i ke ao mele. Ua hoihoi ʻo Katy i nā ʻaoʻao a me nā ʻano like ʻole, ʻo ia hoʻi ka moʻomeheu Irish a me nā mele India.
ʻO ka hana a Eva Cassidy i hana i kahi manaʻo kūikawā i ke kaikamahine. I ka ʻike ʻana ua make mua ka mea mele, ua kākau ʻo Katy i ka haku mele Faraway Voice.
Twist of Fate Cathy Melua
Ma hope o kēlā, he hanana i hoʻoholo i ka hopena o Katie Melua. Ua hele mai ʻo Michael Butt, kahi haku mele i hana i ka ʻimi a me ka "hoʻolaha" i kāna kula.
Pono ʻo ia i nā mea hoʻokani pila jazz. Ma hope o ke kanalua nui, hīmeni ʻo Katie i kāna mele i hoʻolaʻa ʻia iā Eva no Butt, a paʻi iā ia i ke kumu.
Ua ʻae ʻo ia me ka makemake ʻole he hui pū me Edith Piaf a me Eartha Kidd. Ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo Katy i kahi ʻaelike me DRAMATICO, ka hui mele kaulana.
Eia naʻe, ua hoʻomau ʻia nā haʻawina ma ke Kula ʻOihana, no ka mea, pono e loaʻa kahi diploma. Ua loaʻa kāna hōkū e hiki mai ana i ka makahiki 2003.
Hui mua
Ua hui pū ʻo Kathy me Michael Batt ma ka album Call of the Search. He lanakila nui kēia diski - ma lalo o ʻeono mahina, ua kūʻai ʻia aku ma mua o 1 miliona mau kope.
Ua lawe ʻo ia i kahi kūlana kiʻekiʻe ma nā palapala ʻaʻole wale ma UK, akā ma nā ʻāina he nui o ʻEulopa, e lawe pinepine ana i ka "gula" a me ka "platinum". Ua kaulana loa ka album ma New Zealand, South Africa, a me Hong Kong. No ka UK, ma ka home ua lilo ia i "platinum" i ʻeono manawa!
ʻO kēlā ʻano hoʻonāukiuki i lawe mai i ka mea pena i ke kīwī - ua kono ʻia ʻo ia e hana i ka papahana hōʻike Royal Variety. Ma laila ka mea mele i hui ai me Queen Elizabeth II, nāna i haʻi aku iā Kathy i kāna hana ma ka lekiō. Ma hope o kēlā ʻōlelo, ua lilo ʻo Queen Katie i mea kaulana loa ma ʻEnelani, a laila loaʻa ka ʻike honua.
ʻO Katie Melua i ke kiʻekiʻe o kona nani
Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Katy e huakaʻi mau i ʻEulopa a me ʻAmelika. ʻO ka disc lua o ka mea mele, Peace by Peace, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma 2005, no ka manawa like. Ua kaulana ʻo ia no kona noho ʻana ma luna o nā helu i ka lā o kona helehelena.
He mea kupanaha, no ka mea, ua hiki i ka mea mele ke "hele a puni" i nā hōkū pop maikaʻi loa o ke kahua hou. A laila hele mai ke mele ʻEiwa Miliona Bicycles, kahi i hui pū ʻia me nā ʻohi he nui o nā haku mele jazz mai nā wahi a puni o ka honua.
Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Cathy i kahi mana uhi o Just Like Heaven no ke mele na CURE no ke kiʻiʻoniʻoni. I ka makahiki 2007, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ke kolu o ka album studio a ka mea mele, Pictures.
I ka makahiki aʻe, ua ʻike ʻo IFPI iā Katy i ka mea mele No. 1 ma ʻEulopa. Ma hope koke iho, ua "hōʻailona"ʻo Katie iā ia iho ma ka Guinness Book of Records, e hāʻawi ana i kahi'ahamele ma lalo o ke kai ma ke Kai Akau ma kahi hohonu ma mua o 300 mika.
I ka makahiki 2013, ua hoʻohanohano hou ʻia ʻo Katie e kū i mua o ka Mōʻīwahine - hana ʻo ia i ka 60th anniversary o ka poni ʻana o Elizabeth.
ʻO ke ola pilikino o Katie Melua
I kona hele ʻana i ke kula noʻeau, ua hui ʻo Kathy iā Luke Pritchard, he lālā o THE Kooks. Ua hoʻomaka ka male i kahi pilina, e hoʻokumu ka poʻe ʻōpio i ka pilina.
Ua hoʻomau kēia a hiki i ka makahiki 2005, i ka manawa i hoʻoholo ai ke keikikāne ʻaʻole ʻoluʻolu ʻo ia ma hope o kahi hōkū kaulana loa ma mua o ia. ʻAʻole i maʻalahi ʻo Katie. Akā ma hope mai ua hālāwai ʻo ia me ka mea hoʻokūkū inoa ʻo James Toseland.
Mahalo i kēia hanana, ua kākau ka mea mele i ke mele Forgetting All My Troubles, a laila ke mele ʻaʻole au e hāʻule, I Always Jamp. Ua hauʻoli loa ʻo James i ka makemake ʻole o Katie i kāna mau hana haʻuki - makemake ʻo ia i nā ʻano pilikino.
I ka lā Kalikimaka 2011, ua hoʻopaʻa lāua, a i ka hāʻule o 2012, ua male ʻo Katie lāua ʻo James. Ma hope o ka hōʻeha ʻana i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa, haʻalele ʻo Toseland i ka haʻuki a hana i kahi hui pōhaku, kahi i kono ai ʻo ia i ke kaikunāne o Kathy.
ʻO Georgia i ka hopena o ka mea mele ʻo Katie Melua
Kāhea ʻo Katie i kona ʻāina hānau, ʻo Georgia, ke aloha o kona ola. Wahi a kāna haʻiʻōlelo, noʻonoʻo ʻo ia iā Georgia kokoke i kēlā me kēia minuke. ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia ka mana o ka moʻomeheu Georgian i ke ola o ka mea pena. Hoʻokani pinepine ʻo ia no ka poʻe Pelekania ma kāna ʻōlelo makuahine.
I ka makahiki 2005, ua lilo ʻo Katie i kamaʻāina Pelekane a ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua hauʻoli ʻo ia ma kēia ʻāina. Akā, no Georgia ka ʻuhane a me ka puʻuwai.
