Emeli Sande amazed by success

Singer Emeli Sande finds it amazing to see how far she has come since writing her debut album.
The 27-year-old singer first became prominent after she featured on the track 'Diamond Rings' by the rapper Chipmunk, reported Contactmusic.
"I was in the studio a couple of days ago with Craze & Hoax, the guy I wrote 'Next to Me' with, and he was like 'Oh look, I have the piece of paper you wrote 'Next to Me' on, so it has like 'Next to me, whoo-hoo' verse one, and everything's crossed out, things I wanted to say at first," Sande said.

"Seeing things like that make it real, we put that song down in his bedroom and to know it went around the world is such an amazing feeling," she added.
Sande said getting her big break to be a singer seemed like a fantasy.
"It's almost like this fantasy industry, I was up in Aberdeenshire and really wanted to sing but it was about making that link, how do you get into that London world, because that's where all the labels are and it's important to get your stuff heard," she said.
