• Ella Eyre (UK) @ Sziget Budapest, 13 August 8.15 pm

    • 11 Aug 2015 1:00 AM

    Despite venturing into songwriting just three years ago, 20 year-old Ella Eyre has already attracted the enthusiastic attention of Professor Green, Tinie Tempah and Rudimental. Initially working with unknown writers in order to sharpen her skills, Ella quickly found herself in Copenhagen with Cutfather (Kylie, Brandy) and Sweden with Ishi and Eric Turner (Tinie Tempah, Professor Green, Cheryl Cole). Bold, edgy and occasionally a bit swear-y, with an incredible vocal to boot, Ella’s buzz grew exponentially. She now counts Fraser T. Smith (Adele, Taio Cruz), Claude Kelly (Bruno Mars, Jessie J), Raphael Saadiq (Joss Stone, John Legend) and Chris Loco (Rita Ora, Emeli Sandé) among her producers and co-writers.
