Bio
Unlike most Australian kids of her generation, Ella grew up listening to the sounds of Donny Hathaway, Etta James and Gladys Knight and the Pips.
It was the love of soul music that made Ella want to sing. She started performing and writing songs at an early age, and is only now 19 years old. Having done her first ‘proper gig’ at 12, she has had experience well beyond her years. After touring the country with Renee Geyer, Paul Kelly, Diesel, supported Stax legend Mavis Staples and playing major festivals.
Ella has also collaborated and performed with artist such as Kylie Auldist, Bamboos, Betty Harris (USA),James Reyne, Richard Clapton and Josh Owen to name a few.
Last year Ella went to LA and New York to write for a forthcoming album.
During her travels she met and worked with some incredible artists including Denise Rich.
Ella has also appeared on television shows such as “ “Rockwiz” and is quickly gaining credibility as a promising young artist.
Ella has recorded several EPs of her original material, including her self-
titled EP, which was released through Amphead Music in 2007.
2008 Ella released her mini-album “Only Of You” through Medici studios. “Only of You” features seven new original tracks with modern RnB sounds to Old Soul grooves.
Her band features
Australia’s best R’n’B musicians and was co-produced by Jason Heerah,
Gary Pinto and Dion Hirini.
Ella has a refreshing take on soul music that we have been waiting to hear.
