X Factor Fame to FAITH - Talia Dean [Full Interview]

In association with Kova International.

In this Real Life Interview I sit down with Talia Dean, a British singer-songwriter whose remarkable journey through fame, film, and faith has shaped her into one of the UK’s most authentic new voices in worship music.
Talia began her creative path in film, starring in independent productions such as Hound and Sacrifice, before stepping fully into music — where her soulful voice and raw transparency first captured public attention. Many first met her on The X Factor (2017), and later as the lead singer of King’s Daughters, whose hit Get Up — featuring a legendary guitar solo from Sir Brian May — became an anthem of unity and hope during the pandemic.
But behind the spotlight, Talia’s story was moving toward a deeper transformation. In 2023 she experienced a profound encounter with God that changed the direction of her life, her identity, and her purpose. Leaving the mainstream pop world, she followed the call into worship, sharing her testimony through music and using her voice to bring hope and healing to others.
Her brand-new single, Praise Your Name, once again featuring Sir Brian May, marks the beginning of this new chapter — one rooted in faith, restoration, and spiritual breakthrough.
Talia opens up about her childhood, her creative journey, her struggles, her encounter with God, and the faith that has transformed everything.
