her records have hit the top 25 charts, including her two singles,
“Skinny Genes” and “Pack Up”, and her self-titled album, Eliza
Doolittle.
Her debut single “Skinny Genes” was released on April 12 and the song
was featured in an advertisement. She said, “The song is a funny
scenario if you didn’t like someone, if they were really annoying, but
you still had a good time.” Doolittle’s second release is titled “Pack
Up” debuted at number 12 on the Official UK Singles Chart.
Doolittle attended The Village School in Belsize Park for primary
school and Bedales School, Hampshire and Channing School for Girls in
Highgate Village, North London for secondary school. She is the daughter
of John Caird (director) and Frances Ruffelle (who is also a singer) and
granddaughter of Sylvia Young. Her musical theatre credits include the
RSC adaptations of The Secret Garden (2000) and Les Miserables (1996).
The first release from Doolittle is a self-titled EP that features four
tracks ‘Rollerblades’, ‘Moneybox’, ‘Police Car’ and ‘Go Home’. Tracks
from the EP were remixed by Plastic Little (‘Rollerblades’), Sam Young
and Jamie from The xx (‘Money Box’). The EP received radio plays from
Rob Da Bank, Nick Grimshaw, Fearne Cotton and Jo Whiley.
Doolittle has so far played live gigs at the Jazz Cafe and the
Notting Hill Arts Club as part of the club night ‘Yo Yo’. She has also
supported Alphabeat and Jamie Cullum on tour.
She is previously known for her hit song “Running For Life” for the
soundtrack to the film ADULTHOOD.
Doolittle is expected to tour with Paloma Faith during Paloma’s
November tour. Doolittle has also performed on the companion show to
Channel 4’s Big Brother, Big Brothers Little Brother.
Before entering the charts, Eliza Doolittle toured the UK with her
band to gain recognition. This later turned into the “Playground
Unplugged” tour where she performed at nationally recognised Secondary
Schools such as Hagley RC High School, The Magna Carta School, The
Bewdley School and Sixth Form Centre. She is currently dating MC Monster
Under The Bed from Hip-Hop group Children Of The Damned. |
