Ellie Dixon is a self-producing artist who, despite amassing millions of streams, continues to make her sample-heavy songs in her bedroom. In this episode of My Forever Studio, brought to you in partnership with Audient, find out how lockdown fuelled Ellie’s TikTok success, hear how her song Swing became a demo track in Logic Pro 11, and be challenged to raid your kitchen for samples.

Ellie has built a massive following from her home studio, with 1.2 million TikTok fans, 18 million music streams, and a TikTok Songwriter of the Year nomination under her belt, all thanks to her mastery of DIY music production.

After releasing her EPs Crikey! It’s My Psyche and In Case Of Emergency, Ellie’s toured Europe, opened for Pentatonix and Sam Ryder, and played Glastonbury — and still records vocals under a duvet at home.

You can check out the full video, recorded at TYX London, below, or listen on your favourite podcasting platform.

Last week, Charlie Deakin Davies joined us in studio foreverdom to discuss their their go-to vocal chain, how they bounced back from a laptop disaster before Glasto, and the chaos of tracking two drummers at once. Also performing as Charlieeeee, fusing indie and drum ’n’ bass in a wild, high-octane live show with crowd interaction – and Beyblades — Charlie is truly a multi-faceted producer, becoming the youngest producer to get BBC Radio 2 airplay and has since worked with Fred Again, Laura Marling, and Gary Barlow.

The My Forever Studio podcast – created in partnership with Audient – sees artists, producers, and engineers create their dream fantasy Forever Studio, wherever they want in the universe. However, hosts Chris Barker and Will Betts impose some strict rules in the Forever Studio. Our guests are permitted a limited number of items in their creative space, so they must choose carefully. There will be nostalgia. There will be anecdotes. There may be gags. But there will be no bundles!
