Starsmith and Ellie Goulding Brighten Up Jacks Morning

At approximately 12.03 this morning I was on the blower to remixer and producer wunderkind Starsmith. As long-standing Jack fans will know, we have taken rather a shine to this young upstart and we felt that it was about time we gave him and his right-hand woman Miss Ellie Goulding (that might be doing her a deep disservice) a chance to have their say in the illustrious pages of Who’s Jack.

Starsmith was just that, an absolute star…smith and we had a lovely chat about music, duvets, Twitter, Frankmusik and spelling.

Interrupting our pleasant conversation was the arrival of Ellie Goulding to Starsmith’s bedroom studio. So, as my conversation with Starsmith drew to a it’s inevitable end, he handed me over to Ellie and I started all over again!

Ellie was just as lovely and we had a nice little natter about languages, going to the gym, Starsmith’s cat and female musicians. Not necessarily in that order.

At the end of my bumper interview double header I also got them to play a little game based on that shit ITV gameshow ‘Mr and Mrs’. In a bid to find out just how well they know each other, I asked both Starsmith and Ellie the same questions and then tested them to see if they could come up with the same answers for each other…

You can find out how well the did in the October issue of Who’s Jack, as well as reading the accompanying interview article of unspeakable quality and craftsmanship.
