Chatting to local artist ell ivy about her dogs, her van conversion – and, of course, her music!
First and foremost: your Instagram stories suggest you have a doggo?! What’s their name?
I have two doggos! Dudley & Suzy, I love them way too much and they are extremely spoilt!
And you’re building a van conversion? Tell us about it!
Yes I am, it’s mad – I never thought I’d pick up a screwdriver in my life but here I am! It’s going well, it is nearly finished! The end goal is to travel and set up gigs all over the UK and Europe and make a small tour out of it without having to spend too much money.
What kind of music-related projects have you got on the go at the moment?
At the moment I am writing all the time, I’ve recently started a 52 songs project where I write one song per week and send it to a group of other writers for feedback! It’s all going towards my EP which is exciting.
What are your plans for the future of your music career? What would be the ultimate dream come true?
There are so many plans and dreams for my future in music! The ultimate goal is to release music that people love and that I can earn enough money to pay the bills through it. It’s hard having a full time job to fund my music career, I just wanna make music all the time!
Describe your music style in three words.
Heartachingly haunted love ?? I don’t know if that makes sense but it feels right.
What’s the last song you listened to?
Taylor Swift’s new song with Big Red Machine – Renegade
Which achievement are you most proud of (so far)?
Radio One’s Big Weekend Introducing set!!! That was a wild week for me. Oh and also building a campervan!
What’s your favourite conspiracy theory?
That the earth is flat, I just love it.
Who’s the best f.r.i.e.n.d.s character?
I cannot choose! That is simply impossible I love them all!
