A former swimming champion is hoping to make waves in the music industry after teaming up with Christina Aguilera’s songwriter.

Michaela Wright’s first single, Never Gonna Give In, is scheduled for release next month and reviews of the singer have compared her with American musician Taylor Swift.

She said: “I love her... she is a bit more country than me, but if I was as successful as her I certainly wouldn’t be complaining.”

Miss Wright, who now lives in Putney but as a youngster was a Scottish national swimming champion, is working with Heather Holly, who has produced hits for Christina Aguilera.
