Since breaking onto the scene in 2012, Lou Lou has had 4 number one’s, 9 top ten singles and a number one UK album under her belt.

All my fans will know I love experimenting with makeup, so this is the best!
Wow! So what are your essentials on tour? Ooh that’s a hard one! There are so many! Well, my Ipod definitely has to be there, I’d be lost without it. Also, some sort of DVD player, my fans knows how much I’m obsessed with romantic comedies! And lastly, a big cosy onesy! The tour bus can get pretty cold when the air conditioning comes on!
