Elle Varner is featured in the Spring 2012 issue of ‘AMMO’ magazine. In the “Fresh Ammunition” edition, the singer-songwriter talks about her musical roots, what we should expect on her upcoming album and her proudest moment thus far:
ON INSPIRATION:
“My AMMO is definitely love. I try to find love in everything I do and every person I come across whether I like them or not. Just Love. Lead with love.”
ON HER NEXT ALBUM, PERFECTLY, IMPERFECT:
“My album Perfectly, Imperfect is very different. It’s, like, a singer/songwriter album. Like, if Alanis Morissette met hip-hop and R&B. Like, I’m speaking my mind. I’m very opinionated. I write all my songs so I have that kind of approach as a songwriter but the tracks are just full of swag and just crazy stuff. There’s a lot of surprises in there; so it’s dope.”
ON HER PROUDEST MOMENT:
“My proudest moment in music so far has to be [when] I was interviewed by a 10 year old. She did her school project on me and that was one of the proudest moments actually of my life because I said, “If I’m making a difference for 10 year olds I’m doing something right. I’m very proud of that.” [SOURCE]

This year, singers like Monica, Jacob Latimore, Elle Varner & Lloyd performed classic holiday songs like, “O Holy Night,” “This Christmas,” and “White Christmas” on BET’s festive set. Umm is it just me or did Robin Thicke sing the wrong words to the Bing Crosby classic, “White Christmas”? LOL Check out everyone’s performance from last night’s airing down below. Happy Holidays!
