Whereeeee to start…… Well I guess I
should tell you a bit about my story and how I
got here, so here goes….
Hellooooo, my name is London Ellis and I am
singer/songwriter from London chasing my
dreams with my big stubborn personality to
get my music heard and to make other people
happy with it. I have always wanted to be a
singer. You know when you are asked in
school what you wanna be when you grow
up? Well mine wasn’t the astronaut, (even
though the thought of jumping around on the
moon does sound fun), not the Princess,
(even though having a prince whisk me off my
feet wouldn’t be such a terrible thing, damn
maybe I should re-think this…) but anyway I
said “I’m gonna be a Popstar” and I have
never changed my mind since. I have been
writing and recording since I was
14 years old. I was always told I wrote lyrics
that made me sound a lot older than my age
and that I managed to really reach out to
everyone with my music from young teens to
the older generation, little did they know I
wrote those songs in the bath…. with my
Barbies… whilst Ken serenaded Barbie in her
dream house, but hey we all have to start
somewhere.
I have been very lucky to have already had
the opportunity to have worked with some
amazing people such as Professor Green and
Example when we were all just fighting for the
dream of ‘making it’, singing vocals in a
decked out, sound proofed toilet (classy I
know..) living in the land of creative thoughts
and just knowing that one day we’d all get
there.
I love London and its quirky, unique traits but I
always felt like something was missing for me
and decided a good 5 years ago that I was
going to live the dream and move to America.
