Natasha Bedingfield's brother helped her pop career

Singer Natasha Bedingfield has thanked her brother Daniel Bedingfield for helping her break into the music industry.

The 35-year-old singer released her debut album "Unwritten" in 2004 and she said her older sibling largely helped her to pave a way into the entertainment business, reported Entertainment Tonight.

"And then my brother [Daniel] really opened the door for me because he was making music in his bedroom and using all this amazing gear.

"A DJ released his song and it blew up and he kept telling people his sister was amazing too. Everyone was like, 'Yeah, yeah, everyone has a talented sister.' But he kept talking about me and somehow I got a record deal," she said.
