Article Draft
A role model, unique, talented, superstardom, music out of this world would be the only way we could possibly describe Ellen Harbison. Not only is she the hot new indie artist on the scene, she’s an inspiration throughout the UK with her album being a non-mover at number one in the charts for the past 6 weeks! “magazine name” are the only magazine to know the real star herself, and a ultimate interview to put the rumours to bed!
At last, we finally meet! Thank you so much for coming down today, how does it feel to be the most talked about act in the UK?
Ah it’s no trouble at all! It’s all so new to me; I’m finding it hard to get my head around. It’s weird because I still see myself as the normal Ellen from Kent!
Well ‘Ellen from Kent’ your now a role model and inspiration to the younger generation! How do you feel about that?
Its odd hearing people say that! (Laughs). I love that people can think of me as a role model, especially young adults who are trying to break into the industry. When I was younger Avril Lavigne was my role model, and her music really inspired me which helped me with my own goals and dreams. I hope that I can help people in this way too.
Will there be a second album coming out anytime soon?
(Smiles) I’d love to create a second album, so that could be a possibility! Depending on how things go will anticipate how soon I will be recording a second album. I may have a few tricks up my sleeve! (Laughs).
We’ve seen you’ve been spending time in London, have you had a chance to hit any clubs?
I sure have, I’m quite the party animal on the sly, and I love a night out! So far I’ve been to Ministry of Sound, Tiger Tiger, Kanaloa, and Movida.
Have you been introduced to any celebrities whilst here in London?
Yeah, I’ve recently met Fearne Cotton, Bruno Mars, Professor Green, and Rihanna. Rihanna has actually shown me around and helped me out quite a lot, considering I’m new to everything in central London! She’s been really friendly, and has accompanied me on my nights out.
So, what’s it like going home to Kent?
(Smiles) Oh I love going home; I miss it and everyone so much! Everyone back home is so supportive and is loving my music.
Are there any things you have to do differently now, than before when your home?
A few things here and there. I miss being able to quickly nip into Maccy D’s in my pyjamas for food to cure my hangover! (laughs). I want my old life back at certain times, but I’m so happy to of achieved my dream, and I’m loving everything. It feels great to finally be able to sing my own music and share it with everyone.
So Ellen there’s been a few rumours which we are dying to know the truth about! Apparently the word on the street is that you may be headlining Reading next summer, and you have found yourself a mystery man?
(Laughs) well! Next summer is a possibility, but nothing has been finalized, so it is yet to be confirmed! And as for the ‘mystery man’, there is someone I’m seeing at the moment but we are taking things slowly, so I will not be revealing who he is just yet.
Ooh how exciting on both parts! Not only are you an amazing music artist, but we have seen that you’re the right fashionista! Where do you mainly shop?
Ooh I wouldn’t say that! Err; I suppose I mainly shop in Topshop to be honest. I’ve always loved their clothes and will continue to shop there! I love trying out new trends and jazzing outfits up a bit! I think the more unique and unusual, the better.
Right, Ellen if you could give someone advice about how to break into the music industry, what would it be?
I would say to constantly post videos of yourself singing on YouTube. Take criticism on board as you will find it helps you a lot. Vary the genre of music that you sing, and show off your talent. Never give up, even if people knock you down; keep on trying.
Ellen thank you so much for your time, “magazine name” readers will be thrilled to of heard from you! Hopefully look forward to seeing you at Reading!
Ah, thank you! It’s been pleasure!
