Little Boots

A great musician in small shoes


She became famous thanks to YouTube. In her videos she sings and plays her songs in her room; “bedroom versions” as she calls it.

Meanwhile, her first album "Hands" in the trade and is in the UK charts on 5th place. Little Boots is the latest new discovery in the world of Electro-Pop. "It is weird, that I should be hip", says Little Boots about the sudden success. She is being compared to Lady Gaga (and comes out much better, if you ask me) and is regarded as the act of the year. Victoria Hesketh, so her real name, meets with her futuristic electro-pop the nerve of time. The critics speak of sparkling, authentic talent and flair for the new. Her album is full with good-mood songs, catchy beats and a scarcely heard combination of melodic pop with synthesizer.

With the success comes the interest of the press. But the 25-year-old is not afraid of them:
"There is no skeleton in my closet. “I never did drugs, smoked a cigarette, always worked hard."

Til the end of the year Little Boots is touring throughout the UK, the USA and Australia. When she will first come to Switzerland, is unfortunately still unknown.

On 8 August her new single "Remedy" will be released.
