New singing sensation, 12, signs deal

LONDON, England -- A 12-year-old is set to become the new British child singing sensation, following in the footsteps of Charlotte Church, after signing a major recording deal.

Becky Taylor, from Godalming, Surrey was snapped up by recording label EMI after its classics president, Richard Lyttelton, heard her sing.

The schoolgirl is now preparing to release her debut album in June and will give her first solo performance at the Farm Aid Appeal concert at London's Royal Albert Hall next week.
