Tea Stops with... Eskah Labelle @ LIVE or DEAD LondonIslington

I was taken aback with the LIVE performance of Eskah Labelle (above Photo~Kakembo London) at Live or Dead London Islington.
The show showcases upcoming artist's/ bands and Eskah was one of the great acts to captavate the growing audience that filled the upstairs lounge with, comfy couch's, red vintage stool seats, buzzing bar and creative people alike.
Having sang ...
-Leaving you (from her first single) followed by
-Here with you
- Im sorry
- Ghetto
-Shes fire
Eskah's wowed everyone what she describes as her jazzy neo tone  voice, I had to 'tea Stop' the songstress...


Tea - Miss Eskah Labelle what were your two favorite songs you perfomed for us tonight and why?


Eskah Labelle - My favourite are 'here with you' and 'she's fire!' Relates to society and enables me to reach my fans !


 Tea - In one word how would you describe this event 'Live or Dead' ?


ELB - Beautiful what an amazing venue! I like the concept and the location reminds me of "vintage" moment


Tea- Exactly I was noting that in my head also LOL


Tea- What two British artist do you admire and their style?


ELB- Honestly two is not fair I admire more artists clothe wise lool well let's see hmmmm...

*Shanghai from "the noisette', its edgy quirky just like me with a natural african cent


* Florence(Florence and the Machine) her hair is always looking glam she's vintage but makes it modern





Tea - What does singing and performing mean to you?

ELB - Its a way of communicating emotions, singing enables me to release myself and brings me closer to my inner spirit! to me performing is perfecting a moment which is important I'm a bit of a perfectionist lol.

Tea- What major British events shows /gigs can you see yourself playing at?

ELB - I'm hoping to play at "isle of wright" festival or a jazz one I heard that the one in france is overly crowded which would be a challenge for me!

I"ll loved performing at the 02 indigo and will love to do it again

Tea- What song will be the next single?

ELB - Hopefully "she's fire" but its yet to be confirmed lol

Tea -What items of clothing or acessorys can EskahLabelle NOT live without?

*Red lipstick
* My vintage scarf! They remind me of back home in france which highlights my roots

Tea -  How do you know what style is?

ELB - I like to keep up to date with the latest trend in fashion! I like to watch catwalks honestly if I was 5ft9 I would of had been a catwalk model! I worked for designers and like the concept of creating something unique. I use my personal touch to enhance my style just like a signature walk!



Eskah Labelle throughly enjoyed the evening thank you for your time
