English singer and songwriter. Born in Hereford and raised in Lyonshall, Goulding began writing songs at the age of 15. She released her debut single "Under the Sheets" through Neon Gold Records in 2009, and signed with Polydor Records that same year, releasing her debut extended play An Introduction to Ellie Goulding. Her debut studio album, Lights, debuted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart, and was reissued as Bright Lights, spawning three successful singles: a cover of Elton John's "Your Song", "Starry Eyed" and "Lights". Her second studio album Halcyon was preceded by its lead single "Anything Could Happen", and a repackaged edition titled Halcyon Days produced the single "Burn", which became her first No. 1 single in the UK..
