5 QUESTIONS
ELLUR WHO ARE YOU?
I’m Ellur, a young, northern lass with a passion for all things music, shits and giggles.
WHAT DO YOU DO?
I write songs, I perform some of them and I write and direct the visual stuff for my music. For fun I like to dance around my room, paint and I enjoy the occasional “funny cat video”.
WHY DO YOU DO IT?
Because it’s literally so fun!!!! Since I could walk and talk I’ve been dancing, singing and striving to be the centre of attention. I thought it’d be a good idea to make a career of it. I was also brought up watching bands live, at festivals and stuff, which has always inspired me. I’ve wanted Words by Ellur
to be on stage ever since I can remember. When I grow up I wanna be Tim Booth or Lady Gaga… or Tim Booth AND Lady Gaga. That’d be pretty cool.
WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW?
I am about to release a single!! 29th September, new Ellur tune is heading your way with a bloody cracking music video to accompany it. I also just got a job working in a lovely little sandwich shop near my house! Come see me for all your sandwich-y, lunch-y needs.
WHAT'S THE HOT TOPIC?
The hot topic in music, I think, is all things TikTok related. Still can’t really get my head around how I promote my own music on there but I think if a person can 11
write a song that’ll connect with someone in 15 seconds, they’re pretty talented. Already mentioned the single but I’ll mention it again. I also have an EP coming out (which the single will appear on) and that’s coming out in December. There will definitely be a Leeds show around that release so come get your tickets. Also, got a full band together now, where I previously did gigs with a backing track and my Dad playing guitar. So if that’s not enough encouragement to come and see me with my pink bass and pulling out my craziest dance moves, I dunno what is. PS. May or may not be working on another EP… ;) Photography by Andrew Benge
