Some people are born just naturally talented, beautiful, clever and rich but some people work to be every single one of them. They aspire to be something and they fight for that goal until they achieve that, I put my hands up and say Ella Noonan is one of the most apprising and ambitious woman I have ever come across, from starting at the bottom she has come on top higher than what anyone thought was achievable. Being brought up by her teen mum in an estate in London living off benefits and having to defend for herself from such a young age, not knowing what ‘make up’ or ‘toys’ where, having nothing to make her feel worthy of who she was is something no person should go through. You think that’s fair? You’d think having nothing would just put you down and make you want to carry on that circle of being nothing for your life. Not Ella however, oh no.

She’s on the top, she’s an aspiring music artist and fashion model with 3 number 1’s in England and America – her album ‘bang’ sold all throughout the world, her face on thousands of records singing all over the world conveying her determination and inspiration that nothing should let you down. “being at the bottom taught me to only fight for what you want to be, never sit back and let the world pass by you.” Ella began her journey at a local school in London - East High, where she was part of the school choir “I never felt more myself than when I was on that stage singing my heart out” she would regularly sneak out of home to go to the choir as her single mum was never really a fan of that type of music and thought Ella was just chatting shit when she claimed she could sing. She done well at school despite everything and game out with 6 A’s and an A* in music she followed her passion despite no one around her believing in her talent and studied music as an a level coming out with an A “if my mum believed in me and my passion maybe I would feel like I was worthy of making something of my life” the lack of family support only pushed Ella to wanting her mum to know about her talent even more – she was determined to prove to everyone she could make it big. Well what did she do!

“I wasn’t a popular teenager” she quoted “People thought I was a bit weird and I just apparently wasn’t popular enough for their fucking group ironic because all they gave a shit about doing was being with boys and begging for attention, sluts” Ella performed in various bars and gigs before being noticed by David Warton who offered her a record deal with him being his manager, not only was this the biggest opportunity of Ellas life but is manager of stars such as Rihanna, Ellie Goulding and Drake “you know when you’re past happy that you feel like you’re in a dream” This would land Ella with some of the biggest deals and paths to becoming the best, when you have good links that’s when you begin to come big in the music industry. Within a few days Ella was being published all over the faces of magazines such as ‘OK’ and was trending worldwide on social media website ‘twitter’ Ella was becoming a star overnight. “I just kind of woke up one morning and my whole life had changed, I was being rung being told I had meetings with more managers in London, people wanted to interview me. Literally David had changed my life over one night, I’ve never had anyone believe in me as much as he did – he’s the reason I am where I am now.”

Ella knows she’s not that type of girly girly to get glammed up and look after herself like she should, just the way she’s been brung up I suppose. I mean imagine never having your hair curled or having your own make up bag? Words can’t describe. David called an urgent meeting with Ella to discuss the next step of action to take, meeting in a nice civilized restaurant in Chelsea Ella and David discussed her future –the bright blue sky in the background while enjoying the delightful selection of lunch snacks Ella expressed “I’ve never been this happy in my whole life, I didn’t even know what happiness was until now” David knew Ellas background and didn’t want her to feel that because she has had nothing means she can’t have everything now. “I’ve been in same place as you, feeling like no one cares and you’re just this pathetic excuse of a person but really its people like us who fight for everything we want. You will be a star fuck what anyone else says”

Ellas next step in her career was to get a record deal allowing her to publish the song in which she wrote herself, something in which no other star has in the charts is the passion in which Ella has – writing their pain through their music and expressing true emotions that they’re going through “I’m not about that bullshitted music where you just talk a load of shit so it sounds good, my music tells a story – it tells me” The charts is filled with this load of music which just talks shit, people doing drugs and how great it is and the amazing life of ‘clubbing’ what sort of artist are you to convey drugs and alcohol as a good thing? What are you promoting to this world? “I'd much rather express through my songs the real problems of society like war and lack of money throughout familys and the struggles of life let’s get real, let’s start talking about real fucking problems – drugs aint no issue unless you bring it upon yourself.” Life is filled with this idea that music artists are the reason for the way society is, the reason why kids act the way they do and sometimes you can’t but not agree. Music should be a way for people to engage with the artist and have them as a role model, a person who has achieved high in their life and therefore should form a personal relationship with them. “Music tells a story whatever story you confess, people create that image of you”

Today was the day Ella was going to start producing her music video, director Paul Smith was leading the shoot and all the cast where so excited to get this music video going. Music publishers all over London and America where getting in contact with her manager David - this was Ella’s big day, the day her album 'bang' was finally going to have an aspiring music video for all her top fans to be involved in. The day was to begin with a photo shoot, dressed up like the hipster chick Ella is she was ready to get stunting for the camera. Dressed in a funky jacket with bright red lips and a big gold chain she was determined to show through her persoanlity in this video, as a new artist it is important to give the best impression as after all first impressions count the most. "Im so nervous, I mean from being a little girl watching music videos to actually being the star who little girls watch" Once the creation of the video began to make process everything started coming together - the background dancers finally found their feet and Ella started getting into the presence.

"Ever since becoming 'famous' I feel as if my every move is being watched and judged - even buying a sandwich the press perveve to be 'wrong' in magazines" Being famous isnt just about doing what you do best but its about creating headlines and storys for people to talk about, its about being an interesting individual to ensure creating gossip for those who follow up on you. Imagine no celebirtys done anything outragous or dramatic, how boring would it be? No gossip in magazines, no dramatic tweets over twitter - it would just be dead. Manager David promts Ella on this topic, reminding her about the competitive industry and that to stay on top you have to do something on top of everyone else, anyone else would take this as such that maybe you should sleep with a guy or some shit like that but this isnt always the case. 3 months down the line since manager David pep talk and headlines world wide discuss 'ELLA NOONAN DRUG ADDICT' this was a turn for the worst - everything Ella has worked for could be blown away in seconds, discussions on TV, twitter, newspapers and even day to day convosations spoke of her drug problem "what does david expect? dont put this pressure on me to do something crazy then question me for taking drugs the pathetic prick"

18th November, nearly christmas. The happiest time of the year for most people, why does it seem like its the worst time of the year for pop star Ella? I suppose if you found out your daughter was on drugs you'd feel the same ay? After Ellas best attempts of proving everyone wrong its like shes fallen back to rock bottom "I had it all and now I feel like im nothing" Drugs effects everyone, ironoic that Ella claimed shed never allow herself to get this way though "I know its my fault and I have noone to blame but I just thought it would help the pain" Depression is common in celebritys, drugs is common, affairs is common but why isit that those we look up to most are those who are destroying their lives and everyones around them? Role models shouldnt be these kinds of people, Ella claimed she'd never become one of these but clearly the fame went to her head too.

"I dont care what anyone says or thinks I will prove everyone wrong, and when I do.. HA" David and Ella sat down and had the convosation every manager fears to have with their artist, the question of will this work? How can I trust you? Will you change? Who knows what was said in that meeting but Ella came fighting harder than ever. "I was nothing, I became something then I went to that sad place again but now im going to become more than something im doing me" Fighting on Ella and David went down to kiss fm radio station to do a live talk, live on air sending her biggest apoligys to the fans which shes let down recently and begging for forgivness. Trending worldwide on twitter withing 5 minutes of Ella's speach #WeLoveYouElla - who knows what media can do but it clearly helped Ella in this case! She new it was her last chance, she wanted to make it big and now she cannot let that chance slip out of her fingers.

Ella didnt have a big family support at a young age, being brung up by a young mum with no father around isnt exactly 'easy' for anyone, however after proving to everyone what she can do she has brung everyone closer. Family from all over the world getting in contact with Ella and her mum offering family support and help if needed, the happiness that Ellas mum, Linda was feeling was unreal "seeing my mum this happy is my key to carrying on, she deserves the world and thats what I want to give her" Ellas dad who never got in contact before is emailing her from Liverpool telling her how proud he is "I always said music is the key to love and happiness and look what it's done now."
