One to watch in the music world: Ellie Goulding
The BBC have recently released a list of bands and artists to keep an eye on in 2010, and featuring prominently in this who’s who is rising star Ellie Goulding. Ellie is a 22-year-old from Herefordshire, who was discovered performing in a talent show in Kington, her home town.
Although she began her music career as a rather traditional singer-songwriter, she is now creating what has been called ‘folktronica’ by innovatively combining acoustic guitar with electronica and ultra-modern dance beats.
As well as making the BBC’s Sound of 2010 list, Ellie has also received acclaim from critics, DJ’s and top music store HMV, who labelled her ‘one to watch’.
