Who is Ellie Goulding?

Ellie Goulding was born on December 30, 1986, in Lyonshall, a small village near Kington, Herefordshire. While studying at the University of Kent, Ellie Goulding became interested in electronic music. She contacted record producer Frankmusik via MySpace and with his help developed her own brand of “folktronica” music through the track ‘Wish I Stayed’. During this time, she was discovered at a university talent contest by scout Jamie Lillywhite who started as her manager and later became the A&R. He introduced her to his superior, Sarah Stennett, who advised her to leave university and offered her a house in West London.  On February 26, 2010, she released her first full-length album ‘Lights’, which debuted at number one on the ‘UK Albums Chart’. It was followed by her second EP, ‘Run into the Light’, which contained remix of songs from ‘Lights’ and was released in August that year. She re-released her album ‘Lights’ in November 2010 as ‘Bright Lights’, which contained six new tracks. The album featured a cover version of Elton John’s ‘Your Song’ which reached number two on the ‘UK Singles Chart’. Ellie Goulding’s third album, ‘Delirium’, debuted at number three on both the ‘UK Albums Chart’ and the ‘US Billboard 200’, and became her most successful album so far based on first-week sales. The album has already been certified Platinum in Britain.
