Ellis King
Newcomer Ellis King takes influence from a modern generation of singer-songwriters (Phoebe Bridgers, Holly Humberstone, Gracie Abrams), packing her music with compelling melodies, deceptively intricate arrangements and lyrics that pull no punches.
King’s voice too is a dynamic instrument - crackling with emotion and simmering with drama. Her songs speak up and speak out. Stinging rebukes disguised as personal observations, King pens rich lyrics of heartbreak and growth. Each song delivered to the listener as though tailor-made for them.
Signed globally with the influential Nettwerk Music Group (Passenger, Mallrat, Vacations), King will be heading into the studio with respected producer Steph Marziano (Hayley Williams, Radiohead, Kasabian) with an EP expected late 2023.
On the live front, King has been honing her craft on stage, supporting the likes of Husky and Kaitlin Keegan. More gigs are coming up as she opens for Reb Fountain.
Born in Tasmania, multi-instrumentalist King began developing her songwriting craft from a young age. Settling in Melbourne and submerging herself in a music industry education, she decided to enter the fray and pursue a career as a professional musician. Armed with an accomplished catalogue of intimate songs, King is up for the challenge.
