Becky Hill biografia

Becky Hill is a singer/songwriter hailing from Bewdley, Worcestershire, U.K who was born on February 14th, 1994. After making a name for herself on the first series of the UK's TV talent show The Voice, she has featured on five singles, including her biggest hit “Gecko (Overderive).

While Hill came to prominence on The Voice, she had been singing and making music a long time before any TV producer was interested in her talent. She fronted a band called Shaking Leaves which saw some local success thanks to BBC Introducing, but thanks to a successful audition with a new BBC TV series called The Voice, she suddenly found herself singing live in front of millions of viewers weekend in and weekend out. While she wasn't successful in the contest, as she was eliminated in the semi-finals, she went on to have a more successful career than many of her fellow graduates from The Voice. A year after her time on The Voice, she had her first top ten single when she teamed up with the drum and bass producer Wilkinson to sing on his fourth single “Afterglow”.

It was a top ten hit, rocketing to number eight in the week of its release, she also worked with Rudimental in the same year, guesting on their debut album “Home” and joining them onstage at Glastonbury, Bestival and Lovebox festivals that summer. 2014 saw her biggest success yet when she teamed up the Dutch producer Oliver Heldens for his single “Gecko (Overdrive) which surged to number one on the charts and established Hill as an artist in her own right. She's currently readying her debut allbum and at 21 years of age at the time of writing, the sky is very much the limit for her. For that, she comes highly recommended.

Ella Eyre biografia

Ella McMahon, better known by her stage name, Ella Eyre is a British singer songwriter who is emerging in the scene with her slant of R&B pop music that has earned her a BRIT Award for Single of the Year, and a Mobo Award for Best Newcomer.

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.

Ex-The Voice contestant, Becky Hill, bounces onstage in a white crop top and sparkling Aztec skirt, making the most of the British sunshine. She described her sound recently as “leftfield, alternative, cool pop” and that seems fitting. Two Inch Punch-produced opener ‘Caution to the Wind’ is the perfect solo introduction to the world for Becky who I have been a fan of ever since she appeared on The Voice. Since then, she has achieved two number one singles in the form of drum & bass Wilkinson collaboration ‘Afterglow’ and recent house hit with Oliver Heldens ‘Gecko (Overdrive)’ – both of which receive mass sing-a-longs during her set. You can’t help but love how down to earth she is, there are no airs and graces as she admits “my onstage chat is rubbish” after she cracks a joke about the sun being up for Sundown. She later tells the crowd “I’ve got a bottle of vodka in my room so I’m going to the RAM tent to rave it up” – she comes across as a typical partying teenager. Becky’s rise to the top has been stratospheric but she’s still the same loveable singer, as she tells the crowd, “I was recently working in LA and I got a call from my manager and he said, ‘Becky you’re number one”. She proves that she’s a real pop-star in the making during her next disco infused single, the MNEK-produced ‘Losing’ which she says is out in a few weeks. It’s safe to say that she gave the best live vocal performance of the weekend and I’ve already bought tickets to see her again!

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!
