Ella Eyre, born one April 1st 1994, is a singer songwriter, who burst onto the scene with her collaborative single “Waiting All Night”. The single was a collaborative effort with drum and bass chart toppers Rudimental.
She was raised in West London, in an Afro-Jamaican and Maltese family. Before music her original career pursuit was that of a swimming career. Eyre was educated at Millfield School and the BRIT School for Performing Arts & Technology, and managed to focus her efforts on both writing and school achieving a healthy balance of the two. Her first publishing deal was with Warner/Chappell in July 2012, and then a record contract with Virgin the following year.
Her debut came in the form of a feature on Bastille’s cover of “No Scrubs” and The XX’s “Angels”. The project was entitled “No Angels” and featured on the mixtape, “Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2”. “Waiting all Night”, released on April 14th 2013 peaked at the top spot on the UK Singles Chart. She also collaborated with Naughty Boy on the album “Hotel Cabana”, alongside Wiz Khalifa on the track “Think About It”, which became the fourth single of the album, released on November 17th 2013.
She is of course an artist in her own right with her singles “If I Go” and comeback both gracing the charts, “If I Go” peaking at number 16, whilst “Comeback” peaked at number 12.
Ella Eyre is only 20 years old but she has already closed the BRIT awards, won a BRIT award and number one single with Rudimental thanks to the drum and bass stomper 'Waiting All Night' and she's yet to release her appropriately titled debut album, 'Feline'. I say appropriately titled, because Ella is a fiery, feisty and energetic musical lioness, you'll know what I mean if you've seen her live.
Watching her perform at Nottingham's Rescue Rooms venue earlier this year, Ella bounces across the stage, dressed in a skin tight cat suit, full of unwavering boundless energy.
She showcases her effortless vocals during E.P track 'Deeper' which has the crowd singing back every word of the infectious feel good chorus. Jumping around, she then launches into recent single 'If I Go' - an insanely catchy piece of credible pop music. Slowing the set down, Ella dedicates her track 'Home' to her mother, who is watching and smiling from the audience - a heartwarming moment.
Her whirlwind rise to household name status, was undoubtedly helped out by 'Waiting All Night', her collaboration with Brixton based electronic production quartet Rudimental, and gets an impressive outing on the night.
Since that show, Ella has performed at festivals on her her own, and with Rudimental. There's still chance to catch her at Sundown festival this weekend before the summer is over, or at a handful of UK headline tour dates throughout October!
