Elen Levon

Sit up and take note of the new face of Australian electro-pop; Elen Levon. It's a name you'll want to remember, as Elen Levon is being fast-tracked on the road to superstardom, with the release of her smokin' debut single 'Naughty', which is set to drop on 23rd September through start-up label Nufirm Music, in collaboration with Ministry of Sound. The 17 year-old Sydney songstress is without doubt one of the most exciting new artists to explode onto the local and international music scenes, and has been dubbed Australia's answer to Britney Spears and Ciara by US website Idolator, who recently raved about the "raven-haired dance diva-in-training", saying that "... the girl has serious moves, no?". The dynamic young pop starlet wowed audiences at this year's Supafest, tearing up the stage alongside headline artists Snoop Dogg, Taio Cruz and Nelly, and is now gearing up to unleash her dance floor anthem on the world. 'Naughty' is a pumping, jumping electro-pop knock-out featuring Aussie MC Israel Cruz on the bridge, and is a sizzling introduction to the talents of this singing/dancing sensation. Labelmate and artist/producer Israel Cruz, who has worked with everyone from Wynter Gordon to Lil Jon and Jessica Mauboy, doesn't impress easily, but was blown away after his first encounter with Elen. "She's actually what I've been waiting for to come out of this country," he said. "Australia's always had pop artists, but not one that'll cross over in US - she fills that void. A lot of female artists don't really dance, but Elen is amazing at both... and she's just 16, which is incredible." Taking advantage of the perfect backdrop for her incredible live performance, Elen hit the stage alongside 50 Cent and G Unit, Fabolos, Lil Kim and Mario at Winterbeatz 2011, playing in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane next week. Nufirm Music is a label project established to foster the development of new talent within the urban music scene, and provide an outlet for both upcoming and established artists to push their talent and musical creativity to the world.
