My brand new article for So She Slays!
"Making it’ – how do you go from singing in your bedroom to singing on the main stage? I spoke to 3 female artists from Canada, New York, and the UK to further inquire, is your chance of success measured based on where you come from? We also delve deep into their treatment on the way up in the industry, and if people are more encouraging of you the more fame you acquire! These esteemed artists also share their tips and tricks on how to break into the industry. Let’s hear from Maggie Szabo, a Canadian singing goddess, Savanna Darnell, a British singer-songwriter who hit our screens in 2018 when she appeared on the UK’s Love Island, and Chanel Yates, a UK artist who just hit the headlines after appearing on The Voice UK and bagging a place on Anne Marie’s team!"

I wrote this for The Indiependent "I have been on a strict gluten-free diet since I was fifteen. No, it’s not for Instagram. No, it’s not to be a hipster. I do it to survive. I'm Coeliac.
The gluten-free diet has been labelled a fad by far too many people who don’t understand what it is. It’s not their fault though, given the proliferation of articles; eat gluten-free to lose weight, how going gluten-free will make you healthier, celebs who swear by the g-free diet. It makes me want to scream. There is a dangerous cross over between dietary preferences and dietary needs and it makes people a lot less likely to understand my condition."

I've presented on the station since 2018 but I'm so grateful to have now been given the opportunity to learn the skills from behind the studio screen. I'd completed three production 'shadow' shifts in preparation for this and I was worried I wouldn't get it right today - but I did.
I can't wait to hopefully look back on this post in a years time and hopefully be a producer whizz by that point. I never believed I'd have the ability to train as a producer and yet here I am. I recently wrote an article for The Yorkshire Post detailing tips for graduates feeling sad they are out of work, and I advised people to 'ignore self-doubt'. Time I took my own advice :) So She Slays is an Instagram platform with over 640K followers (correct as of 08/02/21). They exist solely to share the stories of empowered women in a plethora of industries.
For my piece, I interviewed Stars of Bang Bang Romeo - the Doncaster band supported P!NK on her worldwide Beautiful Trauma Tour in 2018. I also spoke with Sheffield band The Seamonsters who set the Tramlines stage on fire with their talent at Hillsborough Park in 2019! Last but not least I chatted to Imogen from the Manchester band Novustory who are absolutely killing it in the industry right now. I wanted to know how their treatment has differed depending on their fame and where they are from.

I wrote an opinion piece for The Yorkshire Post titled "my top tips for graduates out of work". My mum ran out the house to buy 3 copies of the paper, she was super excited. I'm over the moon with it! Read it in full via this link: https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/opinion/columnists/my-top-tips-graduates-out-work-ellie-colton-3122764 February 4th 2021 |
