A singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Ellie has always been in her element with music.

She has lived in New England, Scotland, Ireland, and now lives and works in Brittany, France.
Daughter of a mime and a circus clown, Ellie grew up in the world of entertainment. She has performed in theater, circus, and music productions in the United States, Ireland and France.
