Wikipedia.org
“The
Free Encyclopedia.”
Natasha Bedingfield (born November 26, 1981 in
London, UK) is a pop singer and is also the sister of fellow pop singer Daniel
Bedingfield. Before going solo, she was a member of a Christian worship band
named The DNA Algorithm with her sister Nikola and brother Daniel. She went onto
co-write a number of Christian worship songs at the popular Hillsong London
Church. Her debut album, Unwritten, landed at #1 on the UK Albums Chart in
September 2004. By the second week it went platinum, and it is now triple
platinum. She also had a #3 single in the UK Singles Chart titled "Single" in
May 2004 as well as a #1 single titled "These Words" in August 2004.
Not only is Natasha the third solo singer in UK
history to debut at #1, but she and her famous brother Daniel Bedingfield
recently made it into the Guinness Book of World Records as the only brother and
sister to have solo number ones in UK chart history.
Having already hit #1 in the UK, Ireland, Holland,
Japan, Austria, Africa, France, and New Zealand, (just to name a few), "These
Words" was released to U.S. radio in June 2005, and the music video (which is a
new version different from the European video) began receiving play on MTV and
VH1. So far, it has reached #17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #9 on the Pop 100
singles charts. The album, Unwritten, was released on August 2, 2005 in the U.S.
"Unwritten" will be Natasha's next U.S. single.
She voiced Elizabeth Stark, a Bond girl and
daughter of the Prime Minister who Bond rescues in the pre-title sequence, in
From Russia with Love, a video game by Electronic Arts.
