The Red Bulletin June 2019
Chelcee Grimes a Jekyll and Hyde – there are two sides of me, but both are important,” explains the softly spoken Liverpudlian as the lighting and backdrops from her Red Bulletin photoshoot “I’m are dismantled. Sitting on a sofa in the corner of a sunny canalside studio in east London, the chatty, easygoing 27-year-old wears a bright orange top, off-white jeans and New Balance trainers. Around her neck hangs a silver chain sporting her name: Chelcee. Chelcee Grimes is a songwriter in demand. In addition to composing hits for the likes of Dua Lipa, Kylie Minogue, Kesha and Tom Walker, she has worked in LA with Calvin Harris and producer RedOne (Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj). She launched her own singing career in 2018 with the upbeat R&B-laced pop tracks Just Like That and I Need a Night Out, and she has a debut album scheduled for release next year. But that’s only the half of it: Chelcee is also a professional footballer. Playing up front for Fulham FC Women, Chelcee scored three goals in this season’s FA Cup, and she brings together her two big passions as the presenter of Chelcee Away, her online show for BBC Sport. Chelcee will also be part of the BBC team covering the Women’s World Cup in France this June and July; and in between all this, she still finds time to contribute to the popular football fan site COPA90. “I’m very busy at the minute,” she understates. “It’s gone a bit mental, but I’m excited.” Chelcee has barely paused for breath over the past few years. Yesterday, she visited Anfield to meet Liverpool FC manager Jurgen Klopp for a forthcoming branding venture; being a lifelong fan of the club, this was a dream come true. After our interview, she’ll head to a studio in London’s Shoreditch to finish the vocals for her upcoming single, Girls, which she hopes will be the unofficial anthem of the Women’s World Cup. Tomorrow, “Kids would have my lyrics as tattoos… I’d say, ‘Don’t get it done, your mother will kill you’” 66 THE RED BULLETIN
