...Elle Cato
Elle is a singer based in London. As a backing vocalist, she can usually be found touring with the likes of Lisa Stansfield, Will Young, Van Morrison and Robbie Williams. I managed to catch her whilst in the middle of a tour with Robbie. Elle is covering the tour for another singer, so it was an interesting time to chat, not only as she was on tour, but because she was also having to fit in to a well oiled touring machine.
Amongst other things, we discussed working as a dep, signing to a major label at a young age, the power of one’s spirit, and always being professional on tour.
Elle and I had a chat after the recording and she mentioned she wanted me to add a message to anyone starting in the industry - “No gig is yours really. If you dep it out, you could lose it, or the artist/management could choose someone else at any time, and you have to be ok with that.I hadn’t spoken to Elle for a few months, so it was great to catch up.
I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.
