“If you’re looking for dream pop with a punchy attitude you’ve come to the right place” – The Girls Gig
Song-writing for 3 years, recording in a studio (guitar and keys) for 2 years and producing since the pandemic, Ellie Knight has been crafting her music with her first song ‘Lovesick’ creating a “dreamy and melancholic” vibe (January 2021) and reaching over 5000 streams on Spotify. “Work for It” was also well received: a feisty, empowering song with an eclectic, colourful music video. “Better Things” released in October, a feel-good break up song was featured in several blogs including Mundane Mag, Le Future Wave and The Girls Gig.
In 2021, Ellie had 4.3k listeners on Spotify. “I wrote Unapologetic when I was 17, and still figuring out my sense of self. One day the word ‘unapologetic’ popped into my head and I thought to myself wow this is a powerful word, I could write something using this! I ended up with this empowering song about owning who you are and not being weighed down by other people’s judgements of you or allowing opinions to influence your sense of self-worth. It helped me realise my value is disconnected from what other people think about me. Musically I was experimental with this one, going for a dancey anthemic vibe by using synthy bass sounds and creating crowd backing vocals with my (slightly apprehensive!) mates.”
Ellie has done 2 gigs recently in Leeds and Birmingham, the next is in Leeds in February. She has also been collaborating with Avenue House Collective and features on “Peace of Mind” and “Lotus”.
