In 2019, the budding singer-songwriter made the move to Nashville, where she was able to continue to build her audience through social media, many more public performances, and eventually a record deal.

In February 2023, Ella signed with Columbia Records and Sony Music Nashville, news which the ‘Country Boy’s Dream Girl’ singer celebrated with an emotional Instagram post looking back at her early years as a country singer.

“If you would’ve told that 13-year-old girl, learning guitar in her bedroom, that the dreams she’s dreaming are coming true, I think it would’ve knocked her out of her chair,” she shared.

“Grateful and excited for this next step in the journey.”
