About the Show
• She’s a talented British singer/songwriter. Ellie Goulding was born and raised in Herefordshire, England. Inspired by bands like Pearl Jam and Rage Against the Machine, 15 year-old Ellie taught herself to sing and play guitar.

• Her debut record is titled ‘Lights.’ The singer’s album is named after her fear of the dark. Explains Ellie: “Having a light on always makes me feel safe. It gives me strength, which is why I named the album after that song.”

• She’s a big star across the pond. The 25 year-old singer/songwriter is already a household name in her native Britain: ‘Lights’ was the biggest and fastest-selling debut album of 2010.

• She’s even performed for royalty. Ellie was one of only two official guests invited to play at the wedding reception of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

• She’s ready to conquer America. Ellie has already won American audiences over with two high-profile gigs: opening for Katy Perry on her ‘California Dreams’ tour, and as the musical guest on the 700th episode of Saturday Night Live.

• ‘Lights’ is in stores now! Pick up a copy online and in Walmart stores nationwide.
