Jamelia: 'I Love Having That Creative Control Over My Songs' | Interview | TMF

In 2003, Jamelia Niela Davis, an English singer, songwriter, and actress, was interviewed by TMF (the music factory). Jamelia had already established herself as a successful artist with three studio albums, all of which had reached the Top 40 in the UK and spawned eight UK top-ten singles. She had also won four MOBO Awards, a Q Award, and received nine BRIT Award nominations.

Jamelia's music career began in 1999 with the release of her debut single, "So High," followed by her more successful single, "I Do." Her debut album, Drama, was released in June 2000, followed by several successful singles, including "Superstar," which charted at number three on the UK Singles Chart and number one in Australia, where it became platinum certified. She went on to release two more studio albums, Thank You (2003) and Walk with Me (2006), before leaving Parlophone following a dispute with executives over the release of "No More," the third offering from Walk with Me.

In addition to her music career, Jamelia has been a judge on shows such as Move Like Michael Jackson in 2009 and has a filmography that includes her own TV documentaries, such as Jamelia: Whose Hair Is It Anyway (2008), her own edition of the popular Channel 4 show, The House That Made Me, and in 2011, her own BBC Three documentary, Jamelia: Shame About Single Mums. In 2010, she signed a new record deal with All Around the World Productions and was a panellist on the ITV magazine show Loose Women from 2013 until 2016.
