Singer set to make it big with USA deal
b10-1619 Classical singer Elaine Huckle has been named a Classic FM champion after her CD which is therapeutic to people with medical conditions was released to raise money for charity.
A CLASSICAL singer is set to have her music played in America after signing a deal with one of the largest independent record labels in the world.
Elaine Huckle of Church End, Kempston, has just signed a deal with American recording company Parma Recording, owned by massive label Naxos, which will release an album of her songs called The Voice Of Elaine Huckle.
Her music is also set to be used on television programmes and films in the States.
She said: “I’m really excited. I got an email from them and I was about to just delete it until my friend told me to check out their website, and I realised how big the label was.
“At first I was really shocked that they wanted to work with me and I kept thinking it wasn’t serious, but now that I’ve signed the deal I’m starting to realise that it is definitely happening.”
Elaine, who suffered with breast cancer 13 years ago, has previously been named as a Classic FM hero after she raised money for charity with the release of her album.
She has been singing since she was seven years old, but says her career has only just started to take off in the last couple of years. She has also sung at various national and international concerts.
Elaine added: “It’s a very exciting time for me at the minute. I’ve had a lot of hard times with the cancer and I also suffered from undiagnosed coeliac disease for a good number of years, which left me with not very much energy.
“I feel like it’s only later in life that I’ve actually had my health on my side and I feel like my life is only just beginning.
“There is talk of me going out to America, but that’s still in discussions. Things to seem to be happening very fast and all this is going to be starting in the next couple of week, which is really exciting.”
