 Dionne Bromfield, Amy Winehouse’s 13-year-old protege

She is the 13-year-old godchild of Amy Winehouse, a baby-soul sensation determined not to follow in her troubled mentor’s footsteps. In the middle of a secondary-school tour, she explains why she’s more than a ‘wannabe Miley Cyrus kid’

 “What Amy does with her life is what Amy does with her life,” replies Dionne with a soundbite polish that comes of having been dispatched, courtesy of her godmother’s millions, to a vocal and media training camp in Los Angeles for two weeks. “I can’t sit there and say, ‘Don’t do this and don’t do that’. But obviously it’s not nice reading something about anybody. But she’s on top now. She’s getting better.”

I swapped life on the dole for big money record deal, says upcoming Scots star Bandito

Oct 30 2009 By Bev Lyons

UP-AND-COMING Scots musician Russell Graham swapped life on the dole for a big-money record deal with Ministry of Sound’s Hard2Beat Records.

With his good looks and strong vocals, Russell, who performs under the name Bandito, has won a strong following around the UK with forthcoming track Rockin’ At The Disco.

… He recalled: “I got through and went to London for four months. At the time it was crazy because I was so young and had never left home.

“We shared a house in Surrey and had media training, intense vocal training and choreography. We were called Braveheart and Tim Byrne, the man behind Steps and A1, was our manager, and Simon Cowell was there when we did a showcase. The whole thing was Simon’s project and he had final approval of everything.”
