She鈥檚 signed to Island Records, sung with Chase & Status during their headline set on Glastonbury鈥檚 Other Stage, received major airtime on Radio 1 and 1 Xtra and much love from the likes of 鈥� RWD, Vibe, Hunger, SB.TV and Wonderland magazine.
I love hiphop as well, like old school hiphop; Guru and Big Pun.Elli Ingram
Elli developed her impressive vocals first in her bedroom, then gigging in her hometown of Brighton. Frustrated by dyslexia at school, she would often get in trouble. 鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 read and I could hardly write,鈥� she says. 鈥淚 was always really upset.鈥� But she had a strong imagination and would scribble down poems and stories that 鈥渕ade no sense鈥� before starting to pen lyrics.
She acknowledges that Adele is her biggest comparison. "It鈥檚 a huge compliment, she鈥檚 a massive artist and she鈥檚 got an amazing voice, but I鈥檝e never seen her do a hiphop cover. It does kind of annoy me - it鈥檚 lazy.鈥�
