A poetic mastermind in the making, a social butterfly, and a woman destined to share her earthly talents with all she encounters describes none other than one of Houston's most popular poets, Ella Russell. Hailing from Galveston, Texas, Ella began exploring the art of poetry during high school, working to hone her skills ever since. However it was after viewing a HoustonPoets production in 2002 that the inner poet Ella was suppressed and in her place emerged the outgoing, witty, yet gritty life lyricist that is known today as E-Dub. Since that magical moment, the sassy afro diva has graced the stages of various venues such as Mahogany Cafe, Brisket BBQ and Paesanos, working to build her name and display her love for poetry. Eventually E-Dub's hard work and bubbly on stage presence opened doors to the world of hosting poetry sets such as Eb5 International Art Gallery where she hosted "Poetically Speaking". She is now known not only as an entertaining , thought provoking poet, but as a delightful, engaging hostess as well.It doesn't stop there, E-Dub is also venturing into entertainment promotions with FreeSoul Promotions & SoulBoy Entertainment, promoting rising talent in the spoken word and music community as well as delving into Public Relations. No doubt E-Dub has sincerely captured her fan's attention with her ability to reel them into her lyrical world, touching the souls of listeners abroad.
