Discovered: Charlotte Church's career began at the age of 12 with her breakthrough album, Voice of an Angel, where she showcased her unique soprano voice in a collection of arias, sacred songs, and traditional pieces that sold millions of copies worldwide and made her the youngest artist with a No. 1 selling album to date.
She made a cameo appearance on the US CBS series Touched by an Angel. She later appeared on numerous PBS specials and television commercials, most notably in the acclaimed Just Wave Hello campaign for the Ford Motor Company. The song appeared on her self-titled second album, which included another array of operatic, religious, and traditional tracks.

Quotes: "I love singing - singing is what I'm famous for. Now it's turned into things I am famous for doing - like having rows with my mum or about my boyfriend, so it does get irritating." - Charlotte Church
"I'm just experimenting with every different type of music you can imagine and seeing where my voice lies and what sounds best. I think when I do finally do the album it will be very eclectic - just loads of different stuff on it. That\'s what I am hoping." -
