Charlotte Maria Church (born Charlotte Maria Reed, 21 February 1986)[1] is a Welsh singer-songwriter, actress, and television presenter from Cardiff.

As a child, Church was a popular classical singer with a less-successful attempt to move into pop music in 2005. By 2007, she had sold more than ten million records worldwide[2] including over five million in the United States.[3] She hosted a Channel 4 chat show titled The Charlotte Church Show. Church released her first album in five years, titled Back to Scratch, on 25 October 2010. Church is a soprano.[4][5]

In recent years, Church has embraced political activism, supporting Jeremy Corbyn when he led the Labour party, Plaid Cymru in the Senedd elections, and the cause of Welsh independence.
