  • Bio

    Though Elina Wells established herself in the Los Angeles singer-songwriter scene, it is her Hawaiian heritage that influenced her sophomore solo release, Mesmerized. Elina learned to play the ukulele in middle school, and picked it back up in recent years, giving several songs on Mesmerized an island sound. It fits the album's overall feel-good, energetic vibe. Her career kicked off in 2006 with solo album Elina, which included Dream Like New York (co-written with husband Tyrone Wells). The song was featured in the animated film Everyone's Hero, as well as the Mets promo for their World Series run and at the home games for the New York Knicks. In 2009 Elina collaborated on an album with fellow singer-songwriter, Tamila Zahrndt, entitled Tamila and Elina. In 2010 Elina and Tyrone released a duet album entitled Different As Can Be, which went to #2 on the iTunes Singer-Songwriter Chart. Tyrone and Elina performed their duets live in front of large audiences across the country on Tyrone Wells' Songs and Stories fall tour 2010 and on the Rock Boat and Cayamo cruises.

  • Influences

    From the good old days of MTV when MTV actually showed music videos, to running down the street singing "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" for the whole neighborhood to hear, to dance concerts in my living room imitating Expose, Debbie Gibson and Whitney Houston, to singing a Beatles song for my high school talent show and imagining how I would direct a U2 video for "With or Without You" (this began my dreams for going to USC film school) to picking up a guitar after watching Jewel rock hers on MTV, to my dad and mom singing the Broadway Musical Hits on Sunday mornings, to my brother and all of his friends playing their ukuleles to old Hawaiian tunes in our garage, to my friend Tisha teaching me how to play my first guitar chords, to her then making me play with her at church events, to the day the man of my dreams asked if we could write some songs together- this is me, this is the music!

My Story

Tyrone and I had the opportunity to go to Nicaragua and visit orphanages and communities that live in the trash dumps of Managua, Nicaragua. These pictures tell our story.
