Ella Hooper burst onto the Australian music scene as the technicolour front woman of Killing Heidi, an unlikely success story - the teenage band from the bush who went on claiming pop rock dominion with a string of hit singles, no.1 album, sold out tours, Rolling Stone covers and more. Ella was the first ever woman and youngest person to be awarded APRA’s Songwriter of the Year Award.
Now three albums deep into a celebrated solo career spanning synth folk, rock, country and Americana, Ella also balances a successful side hustle hosting multiple TV and radio shows, making her more than just a pop singer in her native Aus.
Ella’s most recent album Small Town Temple explores her love of country / Americana. Written in her tiny hometown of Violet Town in a period where, tragically, she lost both her beloved parents to cancer within two weeks of each other, Small Town Temple has been praised for its heart, authenticity and unique 'Australiana' perspective. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Australian Country chart and was nominated for the prestigious Australian Music Prize.
Firmly in her country era and carrying enough highs and lows to really do the genre justice, Ella is now collaborating on a new record with Grammy Award winning Nashville stalwarts like Jim Lauderdale, Steve Poltz, Melody Walker (Sierra Ferrell) and LOLLIES aka Clare Reynolds (Rachel Baiman, Timbaland).
With this record on the horizon, Hooper delivers her most assured work yet.
