Ela has a passion for authentic music from the great jazz era, singing exclusively jazz and bossa nova. She takes inspiration from the greats such as Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Chet Baker, Joao Gilberto to name a few –  trying to find in her voice the things she admires in theirs – depth, emotion, tone, subtlety, nuance, pitch accuracy while still being rhythmically ‘in the pocket’ and the other important feature – fun, that’s a must!

Ela has been a full time musician for more than 10 years, singing with a wide variety of talented jazz musicians in duos, trios and larger ensembles such as her ‘Ela with Strings’ concert 9 piece jazz band with strings. She can also accompany herself on guitar so can be heard playing solo too.
