Entertaining, loveable, lyricist and artist, Ella Hartt has been writing music since the age of 6. “My first song was a rap about our family dog. I hope no one ever asks me to play it live,” she laughs. Influenced by her family roots and radio hits, Ella switched genres to combine the catchy lyrics of pop tracks with country storytelling.

 

Her first release, “Where is that guy?” gained international interest on internet radio across Canada, New Zealand and Europe while her second single,“Heartstrings” placed as a semi-finalist in the 2019 International Songwriting Competition.

 

Ella has defined her personal writing style with unique titles, honest lyrics and quirky references, which made her one of NSAI’s “One to Watch” for 5 consecutive months. Her reach has been global, having penned songs with other writers across Canada, Australia, South Korea and The United States, including some of country music’s greatest, Liz Rose (Taylor Swift) and Larry McCoy (Thomas Rhett). 

 

After a pandemic long break, Ella is back with her new single, The Story You Tell Yourself. Recorded remotely in her pajamas, Ella shares an uplifting message reminding others to believe the best about themselves! As she puts it, “You’re one of a kind like no one else. You’re The Story You Tell Yourself!”
