Ellie Goulding (born Elena Jane Goulding on 30 December 1986) is an English singer-songwriter. Born in Hereford, she grew up in Kington, Herefordshire and currently lives in London, England.
Ellie Goulding was born in Hereford, England, and went to school at the Lady Hawkins' High School in Kington, Herefordshire. She then graduated to Hereford Sixth Form College, before studying drama at Kent University, though she was advised to take a year out from studying in order to pursue a music career.
On 29 November 2010, Lights was re-released as Bright Lights, including six brand-new tracks. The first single from the re-release was Goulding’s cover of Elton John’s 1970s classic “Your Song”, released on 12 November 2010, which became her highest-charting single to date when it reached number two on the UK Singles, topping Olly Murs and Rihanna on the chart on the 28th of November. It is featured in the John Lewis Christmas 2010 TV advert in the UK. After touring most of the year in 2010 Goulding says in early 2011 she plans to take about a month off to disappear and write songs for her second album. In 2011 she will take on her first American tour after the American release of Bright Lights and see the release of her collaboration with Tinie Tempah when his single “Wonderman” is released. In a blog entry for her American record label Goulding confirmed the title track from Lights would be the title track “Lights”, originally only available as an iTunes Bonus Track, would now serve as her album’s sixth single, the second for Bright Lights. The music video for Lights surfaced on Monday 17 January across many blog and forum sites. In early 2011 she recorded an original song entitled A Day At A Time for the film Life in a Day that debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in late January 2011.
