Pop music is a collaborative art form, one that often relies on networks of creative friends getting together to work out the solutions to musical puzzles and show their workings-out to the world. That鈥檚 how Ella Eyre鈥攂orn Ella McMahon in West London in 1994鈥攈as flown outwards from her BRIT school beginnings to taking the runner-up position in both the 成人快手鈥檚 Sound of 2014 and the BRIT Critics鈥� Choice award, and being the winner of both the MOBO best newcomer award and the 2014 BRIT Award for single of the year.
It began with her appearance on Bastille鈥檚 2012 mixtape Other People鈥檚 Heartache Pt.2, singing TLC鈥檚 No Scrubs over the XX鈥檚 Angels. This lead to a trip to Rudimental鈥檚 studio to work on a song called Waiting All Night (a No.1 single, and BRIT-winner), and then to further collaborations with Naughty Boy (Think About It, with Wiz Khalifa), Tinie Tempah (Someday (Place in the Sun)) and DJ Fresh (Gravity, a No.4 hit). Not to mention her co-written hit singles If I Go and Comeback, both taken from her debut album Feline.
Oh, and she co-wrote Black Smoke, the German entry in the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest. See? Teamwork!
