Biography of Molly Elizabeth King
Molly Elizabeth King is an English singer and poet from Wandsworth, Greater London, England. She is best known for her work as a member of the girl group 'The Saturdays', with whom she has recorded 8 singles that entered the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart, and 3 equally successful albums.
Early Life and Athletic Career
Molly was born into the family of Stephen King and his wife Susan. She developed a passion for skiing at an early age and even competed in the school ski team. By the age of 11, Molly was already part of the British children's ski team and received a scholarship to attend the British Ski Academy. Despite being the youngest member of the team, Molly achieved impressive results in her skiing career and also represented Great Britain in the sport.
Although Molly was initially focused on skiing, her interest gradually shifted towards music. However, she did not neglect her education and excelled in subjects such as business, economics, and psychology, despite struggling with dyslexia.
Music Career
Molly's first venture into the music industry was as part of the group 'Fallen Angelz'. They performed in local clubs and shared the stage with well-known artists such as Simon Webbe, Lemar, Girls Aloud, Journey South, Lee Ryan, and Atomic Kitten. However, the group did not achieve the success they had hoped for.
In 2006, Molly decided to audition for the talent show 'The X Factor' with her group 'Fallen Angelz'. Although they passed the first round of auditions, they were not able to impress the judges in the second round. Molly then made the decision to leave the group and later joined the band 'The Saturdays' after a series of auditions.
'The Saturdays' had a contract with Fascination and Polydor Records and supported Girls Aloud on their concert tour from May 13th to June 4th. Their debut single, 'If This Is Love', entered the UK Singles Chart at number 8. The group's first studio album, 'Chasing Lights', reached number 9 on the UK Albums Chart and received platinum certification. Two more singles from the album, 'Issues' and 'Just Can't Get Enough', also reached the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart. However, their latest single, 'Work', only reached number 22, which was their worst performing single at that time.
The group's first concert tour, 'The Work Tour', served as a preparation for their second studio album. 'Wordshaker' was released in October 2009 and its lead single, 'Forever is Over', reached number 8 in the Irish Singles Chart and number 2 in the UK Singles Chart. The second single, 'Ego', received mixed reviews but became one of the best-selling singles in the group's history. The single 'Missing You' from their third album, 'Headlines!', also received positive reviews, particularly highlighting Molly's vocal talent. In addition to singing, Molly was also proficient in playing the acoustic guitar.
Personal Life
In January 2010, Molly had a romantic relationship with singer Andy Brown, but they broke up in February 2011. In April 2011, she started dating model David Gandy.
