Ronika has spoken about her pop music beginnings

  • August 31, 2011
  • Brad O'Mance

Literally very good popstar Ronika has spoken about her popular music song-making origins.

"I first started writing soul tunes on the guitar when I was about 14 and then went on to sing and make elec­tronic music with two brilliant computer geeks at school," she says. "Then I got into DJing and making my own tunes and have been a bedroom pop producing hermit ever since".

In an interview with Clixie.com, the Nottingham native also described how she is following in the footsteps of other bedroom-producing greats like Daniel Bedingfield and Craig David.

"It's DIY in that I write, record and produce everything in my bedroom," she explains. In fact she didn't even leave her bedroom at all for her 'In The City' col­lab­or­a­tion with Citizen which she says was made "via music ping-pong, sending each other bits of music back and forth".

So if you were wondering about that sort of thing, now you know.
