Katie Melua nació el 16 de septiembre de 1984, en Kutaisi, Georgia, una pequeña nación que colinda con el Mar Negro. Su nombre completo es Ketevan Melua, y pasó los primeros años de su vida en Batumi, en la costa del mar Negro de Georgia, antes de mudarse a Belfast, Irlanda del Norte, cuando tenía 8 años. Su familia emigró debido al conflicto en su país natal, buscando un futuro mejor en Europa occidental.
Katie se interesó por la música desde muy joven. Desde pequeña, demostró habilidades musicales sobresalientes y comenzó a tocar instrumentos como el piano y la guitarra. Su familia la apoyó en su amor por la música, y esto le permitió desarrollarse en un ambiente enriquecedor desde sus primeros años en Irlanda del Norte.
Un momento crucial en su carrera ocurrió en 2003, cuando Melua ingresó a la BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology en Londres. Durante su tiempo allí, fue descubierta por el empresario y productor discográfico Mike Batt. Impresionado por su talento y su emotiva voz, Batt decidió apostar por la joven cantante.
El álbum debut de Katie, "Call Off the Search", fue lanzado en 2003 y rápidamente ascendió a la cima de las listas británicas. Este álbum incluía éxitos como "The Closest Thing to Crazy" y "Crawling Up a Hill". Su estilo, una mezcla de jazz, blues y folk, capturó la atención del público y de la crítica especializada.

It's a time to buy
A time for shopping
Going to the store
And make a choice
But everything she sees
It's like they're talking
Talking at her
With a different voice
Laura's head is buzzing
Can't remember
What she came here for
Couldn't keep her promise
Not to gaze at
Things she can't afford
Cause there's shoes
Bags and silk scarves
And dreams of summer days
And now she's wording
A letter to her bosses
For a raise
But then she passes the baby section
With the tinest shoes on shiny trays
It's a time to buy
A time for shopping
Going to the store
And make a choice
But everything she sees
It's like they're talking
Talking at her
With their different voices
A singer's voice
And her mother's pleas
And the voice of
Countless charities
But the one she heeds
With certainty says
Have it all, have it all
Have it all
Margaret's by the mannequins
Gazing at their suits
And shoulders still no man
And it's another year
Of winter holidays
But soon she'll have him
And buy him
They'll sit like this
And they'll go skiing every year
He's around the corner
The man who'll love her
And understand her
And her career
It's a time to buy
A time for shopping
Going to the store
And make a choice
But everything she sees
It's like they're talking
Talking at her
With their different voices
A singer's voice
And her mother's pleas
And the voice of
Countless charities
But the one she heeds
With certainty says
Have it all, have it all
Have it all...
