A SHERO's Journey: Katie Melua

While Katie Melua came up through the BRIT School in London,
famously attended by fellow pop icons Adele and Amy Winehouse, she
was born far away across the Black Sea in Georgia, and spent her
early childhood in the former Soviet Union. In the aftermath of the
Georgian civil war she moved with her family to Belfast, Ireland,
before settling in London, and as you will hear her tell us, her
family always believed that this move would mean big things for
Katie. It turned out, they were right. Fast forward two decades and
nine albums on, Katie Melua remains one of the top artists in the
U.K. and Europe. And while success has not always been easy on her,
Katie has recently found love and welcomed her first child,
documenting her newfound happiness merging with her longtime
success on her ninth album, Love & Money.
