She rose to fame in 1997 as a member of the BRIT Award-winning girl group All Saints. The group have gained five number one singles, two multi-platinum albums, two BRIT Awards and have sold over 10 million records worldwide making them one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, and the second best-selling girl group in the UK. Melanie Blatt began recording a solo album in 2003, working with numerous producers including Xenomania and released her debut solo single "Do Me Wrong" in 2003. Blatt was later dropped by her record label, and her solo album was cancelled. In 2005, she made a return to music with her single "See Me", and began recording another album independently which was later shelved and cancelled in favour of the All Saints reunion. Starting in 2013, she was a judge on the television series ''The X Factor NZ''. ==Early life== Blatt was born at University College Hospital in the London Borough of Camden and is named after Melanie Safka. She has a French-Jewish mother and an English father, David Blatt (known also as Murmmy author of the book ''Manchester United Ruined My Wife'') of Jewish descent whose ancestors were from Poland and Russia〔(The Guardian interview July 25, 2003 ) Accessed 2 January 2006〕 and a younger sister named Jasmine. She was brought up in both the UK and France. In 1986, Blatt was diagnosed as having scoliosis. Since her parents were not satisfied with the treatment for the condition in the United Kingdom they decided to move to France, where a specialist inserted three metal rods in her back. Blatt went to Fitzjohn's Primary School where her musical talent was immediately noticed by the music teacher David Joyner, who encouraged her parents to send her to a stage school. In 1986, she attended the Sylvia Young Theatre School where she met Nicole Appleton. The two girls became best friends. During this period, Blatt also played young Eponine in ''Les Misérables'' for six months, and was the understudy for Cosette together with fellow Sylvia Young student Denise van Outen.〔(Biography All Saints A to Z ) Accessed 2 January 2006〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Melanie Blatt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
