Gina Holden

Date of Birth
17 March 1975, Smithers, British Columbia, Canada

Height
5' 6½" (1.69 m)

Mini Biography

Gina was born in the small mountain town of Smithers, British Columbia, where her first performance took place at a figure skating exhibition at age five. She has been at home on center stage ever since. As a precocious and outgoing child Gina performed in all her school plays and talent shows.

Through most of these early years, as she moved around with her mom and older brother, her first love was dance. Whether ballet, tap, modern, or musical theatre, Gina was immersed in dance performance. As the classical ballet training developed her unrelenting work ethic, it wasn't long before Gina's love of performance began to shape itself into something resembling a career.

At the age of fifteen, Gina was scouted by a modeling agency and shipped to Japan. Embracing the move with both hands, Gina schooled herself on the culture and language and the country quickly became her second home.

Professionally, Japan was a major break. Gina became the face of Shiseido cosmetics and appeared on upwards of twenty magazine covers. But modeling was never Gina's passion. While her talent and drive gave her a taste of success, modeling was ultimately a stepping stone to bigger things, in another medium.

On returning to North America, Gina went back to school, where she continued to study Japanese and graduated from college at the top of her class. Then, while working two jobs, Gina took acting classes to develop her stage skills. It was during these years that she faced a lot of naysayers, a lot of people telling her, "No, you can't." In spite of - or perhaps because of - this type of pessimism, Gina was determined to become an actor. "Oh really? Just watch me!" was her response.

Continuously driven and fiercely independent, Gina has managed to achieve big things without buying into the trappings of show business. In a world that revolves around money, fame, and image, Gina has found success and happiness through sheer will and commitment to her craft. She also finds fulfillment volunteering with less fortunate people - Gina has worked with physically and mentally challenged adults and is currently developing an online support group for bullied teen girls, helping them foster confidence and self esteem.

Despite a list of personal achievements that includes starring roles in prime time TV shows and in feature films (big budget and indie), Gina continues to work hard to achieve bigger and better things. She continues to study theatre and classical ballet, and, surrounded by loving friends and family, she is always looking ahead. And up!

A major modeling agency discovered Carla in San Diego and sent her to New York to begin a new career when she was 15.

Katherine Jenkins

Katherine Jenkins (born 29 June 1980 in Neath, Wales) is a mezzo-soprano.

At the age of 17 she won a scholarship to London's Royal Academy of Music where she graduated with Honours. After she was voted The Face of Wales by the Welsh public she supplemented her grant by modelling.

During 2003 she sang at a special Mass honouring the Pope's Silver Jubilee at Westminster Cathedral and a month later made her international debut at the Sydney Opera House as the special guest on the 'Max Boyce Down Under' show. This show was aired on BBC Wales on the eve of the Wales vs. New Zealand game and achieved a 40% share of viewing figures. Katherine then supported Aled Jones on his 2003 UK tour - another former Welsh chorister.

During the Rugby World Cup the 23-year-old rugby fan was the official Welsh team mascot and recorded the Welsh Rugby Team's Official Song

During 2004 Katherine went on tour as a special guest with Hayley Westenra. In May she was the first singer ever to perform both at the FA Cup Final and the Powergen Challenge Cup Final (Rugby League) in the same year. Both events took place in the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. This was closely followed by an appearance at the Classical Brits 2004 which was broadcast on ITV1. Another tour as special guest on the Amici Forever eighteen-date UK tour during June followed and she gave many other open-air classical concerts throughout the summer including dates supporting Bryan Ferry and Cliff Richard.

Katherine embarked on a series of tour dates last Autumn: opening the newly built Riverfront Theatre in Newport in a concert conducted by Carl Davis with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, performing at the MEN Manchester, the new Wales Millenium Centre where she again teamed up with Max Boyce as his special guest, and the Royal Albert Hall for the Sargent Cancer Care concert.

With the release of her second album 'Second Nature' on 18th October 2004, just seven months after her first ever recording, Katherine has gone one better. Not only has she become the first mezzo-soprano to break into the pop chart in the top 20, she has also become the first artist to score two number ones in the classical chart in the same year and became the biggest selling classical artist in the UK.At the age of 23, she signed the largest record deal in United Kingdom classical recording history, with an undisclosed seven-figure deal.

2005 so far has seen Katherine performing alongside Eric Clapton, Jools Holland and the Manic Street Preachers, to name but a few, at the Tsunami Relief Concert which was held at the Millennium Stadium at the end of January.

Jenkins' album "Second Nature" was named the Album of the Year at the 2005 Classical Brit Awards on May 25, 2005. This award is chosen by listeners of Classic FM.
