Hello there, I'm Clara Anfo and welcome back to this city, a podcast dedicated to the stories, the places and the people of our wonderful capital city, London.

Now, each episode, I'll be talking to some of the city's most recognisable names, whether they were born here or have made it their second home to hear their

very own love letter to London.

Our guest this time around is a true sweetheart of South London. She has been the voice of so

many tunes that we have all loved raving to, no matter where you are in the country. To be

be honest, matter where you are in the world, I be honest, no matter where you are in the world.

I've had the pleasure of playing her songs on the radio for many years now. I've had the pleasure of getting to see her perform live many a time and dance alongside her as well, which is always a great time.

And I'm so excited for you guys hear this conversation. We go on a journey from her days as a music-loving

sports shop sales assistant to her becoming a platinum-selling headline touring artist. So let's go on this

journey, shall we? This is the brilliant Katie B. Oh, dear listener, I'm really excited today because I've got somebody that I've wanted on the podcast for ages, because I know she's got lots of fun London and life stories to share.

She being the one and only, Katie B, welcome to this city.
