Known for having given voice to the duet ‘Tormento d’amore’, with Agnaldo Rayol, the Welsh singer interrupted her musical career at the age of 14
In the 90s it was very common to turn on the television and watch Charlotte’s Church. The Welsh singer was only a child at the time, but she already showed a lot of talent. At the age of 11 she had already sold more than 10 million records and some of her songs were included in the soundtracks of the main prime time soap operas, with particular attention to Our landfrom the Rede Globo.
It is estimated that, at that time, the young woman would have earned a fortune of 25 million pounds (about R$ 160 million). However, this week, she Church told the British press that she is no longer a millionaire. In an interview with Nearest magazineshe revealed this when announcing that she would sell her villa: “I’m no longer a millionairess. What mattered to me when I bought my house was that it was absolutely beautiful and close to the forest.”
“It was a fairy tale that turned into a dark nightmare,” he added of his decision to sell the property. “When I think about it now, the path I’m on is very interesting in the way I reflect rather than the way I see what happened to me.”
Church sang professionally until the age of 14. After this phase, she revealed to the publication that she felt uncomfortable working in the music industry. “When I made money, I told my dad when I was 14, ‘I’m not sure about this show business thing. I’m not really having fun,’ and he said, ‘Keep going because we’re not going to have these things’ opportunities.” , he said.
“I got to a point in my adolescence, around 16 or 17, where I thought, ‘I don’t know if I can sing this shit anymore,’ but traveling the world and singing in the biggest concert theaters was phenomenal. ” and I will thank you for this experience.”
