2. ARIELLA ADA– UK’s
under 21 one to watch!
Article By Lucy Scott
A iella
r Ada or ‘Az’ as she’s known professionally, sits opposite me at an inti-
mate table in the Rosetta Hotel in Bristol. Her pistachio-shaped green-blue eyes
seem to smile as she openly tells me of her Hebrew heritage, and her secret ob-
session with Scrabble…this not technically part of the interview, but wonderful
to learn anyway. She’s animated as she reminisces the first video she uploaded
to YouTube, and how a year later she never expected to be signed to a mass rec-
ord label, be voted ‘The UK’s under 21 one to watch’ or to have 2012’s fastest
growing single with ‘Stepping stones and a yellow rose’. When I begin to ask her
questions, she sits forward and gives me her complete attention, a stern expres-
sion of concentration that says she’s giving me nothing short of the real Ariella .
So, Ariella. You’re nineteen! How does it feel to be an upcoming solo
artists signed to a mega record label while most of your friends are just
finishing up their A–Levels?
It’s pretty crazy, a year ago I was sat in our sixth form common room eating
instant noodles, now I’m sat in Bristol's finest hotel being interviewed about
my success! I’m still reeling in disbelief at how much my life has changed. I
feel incredibly humbled, and incredibly blessed to be where I am now.
Who are you main inspirations?
I think musically it would have to be Ellie Goulding,
she’s so incredibly original, and down to earth, her
music is so different, and yet I think every teenager
in the world can relate to her. As well as musical in-
spirations from Indie bands such as The Smiths, and
Mumford and Sons, my friends and family play a big
part in where I am, they’re encouragement and loy-
alty overwhelms me sometimes.

3. Where do you see yourself in
another year?
Professionally, I hope to make
an impact in Ireland, and maybe
even The States. I’d love my mu-
sic to be able to branch out of
the UK. Non-professionally
speaking though, I’d love to be
sat under a tree with all of my
friends and my guitar, I’m easily
pleased!
“I feel incredibly
humbled,
and incredibly
blessed ..”
