It is none other that Charli XCX. Charli XCX born Charlotte Emma Altchison was born on August 2, 1992 in Stevenage, England. She started writings songs when she was just 14 years old. In 2007,Charli began recording her debut album on a loan granted by her parents. In early 2008, she began posting songs from the album, as well as numerous other demos, on her official My Space This caught the attention of a man called Chaz, who was running numerous illegal warehouse raves in London, which became her first paying jobs. In 2008 she released two singles under the label under Orgy Music who also released her debut album. The song that got the worlds attention about this talented female artist was her feature on Iggy Azalea's song "Fancy" which reached the number-one spot on the Billboard Hot 100, holding the spot for seven consecutive weeks. Charli XCX is still holding America's attention with her song "Boom Clap" which is featured on the sound track to the movie "The Fault In Our Stars". I can't wait to see what her third studio album has to offer, which is set to be released in September, 2014. So take a listen and tell me what you think.
