Do you know that the deepest concert was performed by Katie Melua (UK) and her band at 303 m (994 ft) below sea level, on Statoil’s Troll A gas rig, off the coast of Bergen, Norway on 1 October 2006. Ms Melua performed two 30-minute concerts to an audience of 20 oilrig workers, each of whom had won a ticket to see the performance.

Katie Melua was born in Georgia (former USSR) in 1984, growing up under the communist regime in the capital, Tbilisi. The family left Georgia when Katie was eight and moved to Belfast where her father got a job as a heart surgeon. Katie didn’t always want to be a singer or songwriter. Her ambition when she was thirteen was to be a politician or a historian “I honestly thought I’d be able to bring peace to the world…if I ruled it! The family lived in Belfast for five years before moving to South East London. After her GCSEs, Katie joined the Brit School for Performing Arts where she undertook a BTEC and Music A-level.
