Katie Melua Tickets - Not Just Another Pretty Starlet

This was the rage of the U.K., really: a young Soviet Georgia singer born in 1984 by the name of Katie Melua. After studying music heavily, it was obvious that eventually she'd turn the head of a record label. She first caught the attention of a band known as Batt, who loved her so much that they had their own record label Dramatico Records sign her in 2003.

Katie Melua Tickets - The Music of Melua

Her debut album was titled Call Off the Search, and that's certainly what the music industry did. They found a tremendous star not only with talent, but innovation. Some of her best included the single 'Closest Thing to Crazy' hitting number one in December of 2003, and by the next year it was inevitable that Call Off the Search would go platinum with 300,000 units sold in Great Britain alone. The album actually went platinum an astronomical six times! 2005 was the year of her second effort, entitled Piece by Piece, featuring even more of Melua's massive innovation in a music phenomenon that could only redefine the heavily stereotyped 'young starlet' stigma.
