Interviews Elica Le Bon
I caught up with the fantastic Original singer/songwriter Elica Le Bon, Watch this space, This girl is going to be big in 2015..
1. When did you first start singing and how did you figure out you could sing?
When I was a little girl I used to love Christina Aguilera. I was obsessed with the soulfulness of her voice, it really moved me. I think i was inspired by that and ever since, nothing has given me greater joy than to sing.
2. On tracks of your's like "Beautiful Game" I can hear eastern influences coming through, is this something to do with your ethnic origin or is it just you experimenting with different styles?
I think it's probably a subconscious byproduct of listening to so many Timbaland beats. That, possibly coupled with my middle eastern heritage that subconsciously seeps through to my artistry. Timbaland is so experimental with his music, he always uses abstract sounds, synths and styles. I'm fascinated by that kind of creativity, so I have a predilection to do the same
3. What's your favourite kind of music to listen to at the moment?
I'm always into music that has feeling. That evokes pathos. That has a soul. I love everything that has soul. Right now, i've got 'only one' by Kanye West on repeat. It brings me to tears.
4. What city do you currently reside in and do you perform live at the moment? If yes where can are readers catch you in 2015.
I currently reside in London. I'll be performing live a lot this summer, so you can stay up to date with that on any of my social media accounts.
5. Is singing your full time career and If you weren't singing, what would you be doing?
Yes it is. I often think about what I would do if it weren't music. It would have to be something that allows me to express myself creatively and explore that aspect of myself consistently. Possibly writing. It's what I do anyway.
