THE NEXTDIVA: Why Estelle?

Estelle

Estelle emerged at a time when the industry was yearning for a fresh new voice. This British singer-songwriter, record producer, and rapper fit the bill. After the release of her Grammy Award winning song "American Boy" featuring Kanye West, fans began to see this starlet everywhere. She boasts three studio albums: "The 18th Day," "Shine" and "All of Me" and a host of awards and nominations worldwide. This diva has done what few newcomers have been able to do which is to gain international recognition in such a short amount of time. This element solidifies Estelle's super stardom. Her eclectic sound and untapped talent allows her to hold her own amongst the industry's most seasoned artists.

Divas are Individuals…

"I just come from a point of like, you know – I'm just me. I just do what I do, and that's as simple as it is..."
