Bio
Ella Chi's musical influences are as broad as her upbringing. Creativity, passion and volume were perhaps the only constants in an early childhood that saw her uprooted from Bristol and dropped into school in a remote Andalusian village of Gaucin, Spain. Early inspirations came from home where there was always a great record playing. Ella would always pick out the soulful albums in record collections and, without really knowing who she was listening to, gravitated towards Stevie Wonder, D' Angelo, and Jill Scott. As a young adult her love for old favourites was fused with the sounds of drum n bass, neo soul, and later dubstep. Like a cultural sponge she absorbed all of these styles and wrung them out to create her own sound and her debut album, self titled 'ELLA CHI'. Ella Chi regularly performed on stage with her Dad and sang at late night jams and squat parties with local gypsy flamenco bands, but there wasn't a proper outlet for her style of music. "Spain doesn't really offer that scene and I felt trapped. With no creative outlet I decided I had to head to London" And with that Ella Chi started performing all around town and from there began to find her own unique sound. Her diversity allowed her the opportunity to entertain Jonathan Ross' Radio 2 audience in session one week, and record with UK rappers the next. And last year Ella performed to thousands at Glastonbury Festival and became a face on the London scene performing with her band at well renowned live nights across town including Notting Hill Arts Club, The Pigalle Club, Shoreditch House and Ronnie Scotts. Currently working on brand new material, the master of her own destiny and one to watch, Ella Chi has had the courage and talent to strike out on her own and do what feels right to her and her true London sound!
