ALLIE JAMES
This is 18 year old, fun loving new commer to the music scene; Allie James! The nerves are slowly building for the release of her debut album "Studio West" in mid December and she is excited to let the nation see the video for her debut single "Money Box". Going to Studio West Academy in her home town Newcastle upon Tyne in Tyne and Wear, the inspiration for her first album stemmed from school friends and family, who she once described as "the foundations of her songwriting". "I have always liked indie folk music and so to get into a career creating music of a genre I love is so rewarding". Proud parents Geoff and Rose James have been a huge support in her career, backing her decision to take on the music world in London, leaving Newcastle and chasing her dreams to become a star within the industry. Speaking of his daughter, Geoff says shes alwasy had a "knack for music, playing on the streets on Saturday afternoons to improve skills and earn a bit of cash". Signed by Parlophone Records (who have also signed notable artists including the Beatles, Coldplay, Kylie Minogue and Blur) at the tender age of 17, its been 18 months of pure hard work and dedication for this teen star. "Playing in small venues down dark alleyways isn't something you imagine yourself doing," Allie says "but it's what has to happen if you want to create a following for your music". It seems right now its all about the blood, sweat and tears for this teen, however she dreams of lighs, glamour and world wide tours.
