Band Members: Elle (l) n 1. The French word for she coupled with a homonym for the first letter of Louisa 2. A sultry, sophisticated, soulful singer This rising star wasn’t even born when Ella Fitzgerald blessed our ears with her jazz ballads, but when the Ghanaian native heard her smooth vocals as well as those of Patti, Whitney and other pioneers alike, she immediately knew she had found the cornerstone of her signature sound.
The enthusiasm that inspires this talented vocalist marked a defining moment in Elle’s young career which began at age 8 when she started playing the flute. This budding artist got her first taste in middle school after landing a solo in the musical which later lead to an audition for the ensemble, the most elite of all singing groups. This achievement boosted her confidence to write her first song about a crush! Finding it easiest to express herself through lyrics and melody, writing seems to be a barrel of passion and emotion that never runs dry for this young artist. Performing alongside such greats as Doug E. Fresh and Teena Marie on the 2005 Ebony Family Reunion Tour, and also alongside singing duo Aaries in the 2008 Crème de la Crème fashion show, Elle proves to have the ability to embed her own musical stylings among the still lingering legacy created by legends. All the while Elle maintains the ability to captivate audiences large and small with her unique sound. Sitting on a degree in Psychology from Temple University, Elle wants to be able to touch people through her music as her predecessors did before her. Her unique sound encompasses her love of style of all music. Hoping to achieve the longevity of her inspiration, Elle not only wishes to model the vocal range but the control as well that gave Mariah Carey the elite status as both singer and songwriter. She has taken command of the local music scene performing and headlining at numerous well known music venues. These range from local coffee shops to much larger music venues and clubs within Philadelphia, expanding her fan base with every performance. With victories stemming from talent competitions and contests, and not to mention a retired belt in the local open mic scene, Elle’s determination has served as a catalyst in getting her foot in the door and will continue to serve as one in her rise to the top.
