Eliza Doolittle
Eliza Doolittle - strong of opinion, smiley of face, loud of tights - was born in Camden, north London 21 years ago. Informed by the stresses of modern city life, teenage aggro, classic pop, old soul and the appeal of simple, strong melodies built from clanking percussion and jazzy licks, Eliza's eponymous debut album is bursting at the seams with life and enthusiasm and vigour - just like its creator.
Raised by a piano-playing dad and singing mum, Eliza's been writing songs since she was 12. "Mr Mysterious" was one of the first - "I was listening to Destiny's Child, and I thought I had to write about a boy. It actually put me off writing about boys forever," she laughs. Another early composition was 'Without Your Presence,' which she still likes and wants to give to Leona Lewis. "It's a bit of a diva song. It's really pretty."
