This New Zealand-born songstress began developing her silky vocals at a young age, and her hard work has paid off. The virtuosic soprano has made waves on the international scene with her chart-topping classical vocal albums. Her debut record, Pure, hit #1 on the UK classical charts soon after its release in 2003. Westenra has since been on a roll, blending melodic pop, classical, Celtic and other traditional forms of song, including Maori, displaying her vocal dexterity and range. She has delivered sensational performances worldwide for heads of state and laymen alike, never missing a note.
