Ella Hooper in Concert

Ella Hooper made her entrance onto the Australian music landscape as the technicolour teenage frontwoman of her high school band, Killing Heidi. At age 13 she won the national broadcaster Triple J’s unearthed competition and has been writing and releasing intense, intelligent pop music ever since. She is also a radio host, TV presenter, DJ and self-confessed music junkie. Her songs of angst and wonder sound-tracked the early 2000's for cool kids and outsiders alike.

Ella’s music has since traversed pop to rock, roots to country back to alt-pop and just about everything in between. In 2010 she travelled to LA to work with legendary producer Mitchell Froom and Elvis Costello's backing band on a side project influenced by classic West Coast Americana sounds, 'The Verses'. This collaboration spawned an EP and an album and the band toured extensively, opening for Fleetwood Mac who were one of Ella's main inspirations for starting The Verses.

In and out of the studio for much of 2018, with a retro rock inspired EP on the way, Ella kicks things off with new single 'To The Bone'. Never one to settle in a comfort zone, Hooper’s next offering promises disco beats, street walking strut anthems and pop chops a plenty. It’s been a colourful journey and it's only getting busier for this chameleonic purveyor of pop rock. Stay tuned! 'Never satisfied with sticking to the status quo, Hooper fills 'To The Bone' with invigorating, near-obscene left turns; “come on,” goes her bubble gum and barbed wire voice, 'I'm Ready!' This is a song that never stays still, from a songwriter who doesn’t either. It might be the best thing she’s ever put out..'
