Ella has a love for sharing her passion of music by teaching and inspiring many young children through workshops and lessons. As a 19 year old, Ella has a de-sire and passion for songwriting and to perform in choirs and bands.

A personal and emotional struggle of many young individuals, led Ella to write a song about figuring out who we actually are. The constant pressure of expectations of society usually leads to confusion and losing ourselves on our life journey and life path. “Who We Are” has an intention of bringing the concept of the hardships of tough emotional issues, struggles and feeling “lost” closer to the listener, speaking directly to their heart and soul.

With love Ella
