She received her first electric guitar when she was 12, familiarizing herself with the instrument by learning her favorite songs. She covered a wide range of songs by artists like Feist, Pink Floyd and many in between. At 18 Ellyn moved to Toronto, where she began sharing her original material with open mic audiences. At this time her songs were vulnerable and raw, recalling deeply personal experiences. Her indie-folk EP, Sound of Home, was independently released in June 2017. It was inspired by her time spent backpacking through the west coast of Canada. Sound of Home brought together her soft, haunting vocals with her acoustic guitar arrangements to create an intimate, hypnotic sound reminiscent of Joni Mitchell. Since 2015, she has worked closely with Montréal duo Sterling Grove, releasing several singles including “Sound of Home,” “La Vigie,” & “In the Backyard,” collectively generating over one million streams online. With the release of her newest track "Lifted" she projects a very dreamy sound that will certainly intrigue your ears.
