My First Biography,2003 I was 9 years old when I started singing. My mum got me into this because my school was making a CD, so she told my teacher, Mr Philips, that I could sing. He then got me to sing in front of the class, and then two days later I sang a solo for the CD. Next I did a song and dance solo at a MIDAA dance festival and won a gold medal. I entered a competition in Abergavenny and was runner up against adults. Then in a welsh competition I took part and came runner up in 2001 and was the winner in 2002. In 2001 I auditioned with the BBC to sing at the Millennium Stadium. I sang with 29 other girls alongside Charlotte Church, S Club 7, Blue, Attomic Kitten, A1 and many more . Then I sang at a hotel in Cardiff for a charity concert, where my dad recorded me singing, there I was offered a recording contract but my parents turned it down. The tape that my dad had recorded was the one that my brother sent off to GMTV for the Totstar competition that they were running in 2002. At this time I was also entering another competition, 2002 Starsearch, I got through to the final but had to pull out because I was in London with GMTV. In July 2002 I sang at Party in the Park in Cardiff, this time I got to sing alongside Darius, Busted, Daniel Beddingfield, Here'say and many others. Aswell as this I managed to have a game of football with Blue and Liberty X. My single was released and reached number 27 in the charts and number 5 in the welsh charts, it was at this time I became the UK's youngest popstar, taking the title off Lena Zavarony, who held it for 28 years. In December 2002 I took the UK athletics championship award for the decathalon event. I am also a dancer with MIDAA, where I am taught ballet, tap, modern and acro. I am now in my 4th year with the London Royal Ballet School.

My Biography Update No 2! 16th December 2005, I have been doing so much since my last biography that I don't really know where to begin; so I'll continue where i left off! I'm now on my 6th year with the London Royal Ballet and I have an audition next year which I am hoping to pass. If I do, it will be my 7th year running with this dance school. Fingers crossed!! After winning Totstars, I was invited by the BBC to perform in front of a cheering crowd of 10,000 or more people, at Cardiff Bay, Big Buzz, which I have done 2 years in a row. This was along side: 3SL, Mark Almond, Blazin' Squad and many more!! I really enjoyed doing this event, because just like Party in the Park the crowd were chanting my name!! Later in that year, nearer Christmas, I was invited to the Royal Variety Ball, in Cardiff City Hall. This was so exciting as I got to wear my very first ball gown. This made me feel like a princess. I found it a little bit weird, as I was treated like a celebrity and other celebs recognised me. I also got to take my own four dancers and their parents too, and if you thought that I was excited, well I won't tell you what they were like! While I was there, I also had the pleasure of having my photo's taken by OK magazine. After a 7 course meal and a FULL stomach, I had to get up and perform. There was a great atmosphere and the night turned out to be brilliant!! I also got to do this again, just last year. October 2004, I was invited to perform at St. Davids hall, Cardiff. I got to sing for the first time with a live band! When I came off stage, I was so excited that I felt like I wanted to get up and do it all over again! It was amazing!! At many events that I have performed at, I have auctioned my single for charity! (I'd Like To Teach The World/ My Boy) To begin with, someone bought it for £20.00, then it went up to £100.00 and then, at a charity ball on the 5th December, Mr. Darlow bought my signed single for £1000.00! I was amazed to see that someone would pay this much for my autograph and it was nice to see that all the proceeds went to the charity! When I found out the price that Mr. Darlow had paid, I said to my manager, "Why does he want to pay this much for it when he can buy it for £4.99 and get it signed for free." It was such a big shock that my whole body was shaking with joy!! I have performed in many places, from North Wales to the South of England! These places include: Colwyn Bay, Avon Country Park, Bridgend, Bristol and many more places!! My only upset of this year was being disqualified from the Junior Eurovision Song Contest! I was sent an email to audition for it from Granada television centre. I was so excited and got set to writing my own song straight away! I never wrote any songs before, so this was my first one! Granada TV told me that I could win the contest and then also win the final, against the other countries! This made me even more eager to write my own song! The day that my manager was going to book me into the studio, we had a phone call from Granada. They told me that I had to be disqualified from the contest, because I was too professional! I was so upset when I found out, that I left my song and didn't finish completing it! At the time I thought " How can they say that I'm too professional" but now I think, "It's good that they say that I'm professional!" In a way, this had made me a better person and has made me enjoy singing even more! Later this year, I recorded a new song called, "The Voice Within." This single I sold at events that I perform at, to help raise money for the charity's! I really enjoyed doing this, as the person that I recorded it with was one of my producer's of my first single. His name was Chris and he done this as a present for my 13th birthday! My last but one performance of 2005 was performing in Cwmbran town centre for their Christmas cavalcade! I have done this 3 years in a row and I have already been booked up to perform there in 2006! This performance was extra special, because I got to sit in the original Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! This was amazing!! It was so much different from seeing it on a DVD, than seeing it in real life!! My last performance of 2005 was on the 9th December at the Galleries Shopping Centre! This was for a charity called Tiny Lives Campaign. This charity helps to raise money for premature babies, in and around Bristol!! I performed throughout the day, having a rest in between, (shopping :-), whilst school choirs sang Christmas carols! It turned out to be a brilliant day and hopefully we raised a lot of money for these babies!! When I help raise money for different charities, it makes me feel good inside. I absolutely love performing and when I sing, I get a huge buzz! The bigger the crowd, the better!!

My Biography Update No 3! December 2006 Again, where do I begin with 2006’s biography! This year again has been extremely busy. I’m very pleased to announce that I have got into the London Royal Ballet for the seventh year running! I was so nervous going into the audition room, but now so pleased that I’m in again. Seven years has gone so quickly! One of my highlights of 2006 was performing in Colwyn Bay, North Wales for the first time. I had my dancers come along with me to perform also, and it was over a day. I really enjoyed being there and the crowds were really good! Hopefully I’'ll get invited back there next year! I auditioned for a new musical theatre company also this year called "The Company" and then had my first show with them as well. In this show we performed many songs from the musicals. It was a totally different experience being up on stage with a group of people performing songs that I don’t normally sing. I can’t wait for the next show to come along! Again another big performance this year was ‘Jumpin’ In July’ in Newport City Centre. I performed alongside The Company, my musical theatre company and was then asked to go up on stage and perform. This was much unexpected as I wasn’t even supposed to be performing solo that day! Many of my fans emailed me this year and last year, asking if I would be performing at this years Caldicot Castle. So my manager got on the phone to see what he could do. For many years I had performed at Caldicot Castle and it was lovely to perform there again this year! One very unexpected event to happen this year was one of the Totstars from GMTV that I become rather friendly with contacted me. His name was Anthony and he made it to the final 15. It was lovely to hear how one of the Totstars was doing and hopefully soon to come I might receive an email from one of the other Totstars! It was lovely to see my name written again in this years ‘British Charts’ book, even after four years of hitting the charts! Who knows maybe I might even be named in there in next years book! I got sponsored by my first company this year and it was a limousine company! I was so excited when I found out I could possibly have a limo to turn up to different events with! How fancy! Some new features were added to the website this year such as a new music page. Here, viewers of my website can listen to my singing; some live recordings and download my music! Gradually, more and more music will be added to the page for viewers to listen to! I hope your all enjoying my music! I met up with my old producer this year in London. His name is Jeff Jarrett and every year he sends a Christmas card and I send one back. It was lovely to meet up with him after so long and he still hasn’t changed a bit! We got invited to his house which was absolutely stunning! He also listened to me singing and watched a video of me performing. Hopefully I’ll get to visit him again sometime. At the same time I went to watch Claire Sweeney in ‘Guys and Dolls’ which was amazing! I didn’t think that I would actually end up meeting her, but we were told to go and watch by backstage before the show had begun and she didn’t recognise me at first! It was so strange! She kept looking at my dad as if she knew him, but couldn’t quite figure out how. Then the guard at the stage door held up my webcard with a picture of me and a picture of me from Totstars on and then she realised who I was. It was so strange! I had a picture taken with her which also went as one as my calendars this year. Hope fully I’ll see her again sometime! This years Christmas I performed at Cwmbran parade. I travelled around the parade in a pink Cadilac Car that used to belong to Duran Duran and then sung later. Luckily it didn’t snow! But it was very cold! Sadly this year, a man that was very close to my family received bad news. He found out he had many different forms of cancer and had to pay for his own treatment to buy medication to help him. With this in mind, my manager and I organised a charity night to raise funds for his treatment. Thank you again to anybody who offered there services and money for Alun, it was all very much appreciated. With Alun and fundraising in mind, I decided to record two new songs, selling it privately via my website and through events. All profits that we made went towards his treatment. Thank you very much again for fan mail I received this year! Let’s bring on 2007!

My Biography Update No 4! December 2007 Again where to start! 2006 was a very busy year, and so was 2007! I had many performances and was lucky enough to have an appearance on television. I was invited up to London with tickets for the Brian Connelly show, "Let Me Entertain You". What I did not know was that my family were keeping a secret and I was to be the artist pulled out of the audience that night. After finding this out, I had a few minutes to calm my nerves before performing to the audience and camera crew. My parents and the television crew had planned it all, with my outfit and music backstage. It was such an amazing experience. I sung outside Monsoon in Newport for their chosen charity in order to help raise funds. Overall the day was a huge success; even though the weather was not great to begin with, but still large crowds gathered to watch me sing. This caused slight chaos resulting in the police having to move those watching as the streets became blocked. For many years I have performed for various charities and helped to raise a lot of money. I enjoy this as this helps those in need. This gives me a great feeling in knowing I am helping someone who really needs it. Charity work is one of the aspects of singing that I love the most. There is no doubt that I will continue to help out next year and in years to come. In August I sung at Caldicot festival which is an open air event. I performed alongside other artists and I am hoping to perform there again next year. I joined a hip hop dance group, called Fahrenheit which is based in Cardiff. It is a style of dance I have not been taught before and I am really enjoying being part of my group "Rise". As a team, we had many performances resulting in us becoming the under 16s champions for the newcomer team. We are hoping to win a few more competitions next year! On the subject of dance, I passed my tap and modern exams. From this, I have become a student dance teacher for modern dance. Now I am able to teach modern dance to students under the supervision of a fully qualified dance teacher. Each year brings new events and one this year was Caerleon Arts Festival. Again this is an open air event where visitors can take a look around at a number of welsh memorabilia stalls and enjoy performances of various entertainment. To gain me more experience, I decided to enter X-Factor. Whilst taking part I was disgusted to find what happened behind the scenes. What people do not realise, is that the auditionees have to sing in front of numerous producers before meeting the actual panel of judges. This process takes place over a few weeks and in this time you are given guide lines to wear the same clothes and are told what type of song to sing. The confidence of performers are wrongly raised or crushed by the views of the panel. I can now understand why many performers quit singing after entering for television programmes such as X-Factor. In my eyes, I do not think these programmes should be allowed to go ahead with what they are doing. Luckily for me, I did not have this bad experience with Totstars on GMTV. Every contestant was treated fairly and was voted upon their ability and not for entertainment values. I'm pleased to state that I am still a member of "The Company", a musical theatre group, and earlier this year we performed my first full-length show. This is called Little Shop of Horrors. Again, I had the chance to perform alongside other famous people such as, Goldie Lookin' Chain, aka GLC. This performance was in aid of motor neuron disease. I met Tony Wright again when I performed for All Creatures Great and Small. Tony is the patron of this charity! I keep photographs of myself with the likes of Tony and GLC’ in my gallery so take a look! I was very lucky to be invited to perform at the David Evan's Gala evening in Cwmbran. I have already been invited back for next year! I was asked to be involved in a documentary about the area where I live. The DVD was sold via a local community shop. I had many compliments about the DVD so thank you very much to all that bought it! Another major event was where I was asked to sing at a memorial for a little girl called Bobbie. Her parents asked if I would sing Forget Me Not’ (originally sung by Lucy Silvas.) This performance was very hard, but the memorial was full of memories of Bobbie and how dearly she was loved. The hardest performance for me so far throughout my singing career was singing at a funeral. A man close to my family died of cancer and in order to help raise money to fund his treatment, I sold a CD privately via my events. Because of this, his wife came to me asking would I sing the song I released (Forget Me Not) at his funeral. This has definitely been the hardest thing I have ever had to do and the emotion was indescribable, but I managed to complete the song before breaking down in tears. On a brighter note, 2008 is the big year for me as I turn 16, so again, let's roll on 2008!
