Katherine Jenkins

Katherine Jenkins

Brought up in Neath, South Wales, by the time Katherine was seven her interest in pop music had been superseded by classical music. She started taking piano lessons and joined her local church choir. Since then, her singing career has gone from strength to strength, and during the 2003 World Cup the 23-year-old rugby fan recorded the Welsh Rugby Team's Official Song, a rousing, spine tingling rendition of 'Bread of Heaven', backed by a 100-piece male voice choir.
