A little more about Ella Hartwig

Hailing from Cooktown, Far North Queensland, Ella has been internationally acknowledged for her songwriting. The two-time Queensland Music Award Nominee was recognised for “Can’t Ask You to Stay” and “Staged Reality” that she wrote at age thirteen. 

On the brink of adulthood, Ella recently expanded her career with a move from remote living in Cooktown, to continue building momentum on her artistic portfolio in Brisbane, Queensland. She is currently recording her Debut Album and her latest single “Backup” was released on February 16, 2024. 

Ella first emerged onto the Australian folk festival scene at age fourteen, and has since has appeared on the bill for established music festivals such as Wallaby Creek Folk Festival, Cooktown Discovery Festival and Black Mountain Unplugged. Ella is best known for her upcoming album’s lead single Out of Stone, released in June, 2023. 

Following the release of her 2022 single “Confused” Ella embarked on her first self-managed tour around regional Queensland, starting from the Torres Strait, down to Brisbane. 

“Ella's earthy, powerful, robust voice instantly captures your attention, the Melissa Etheridge feels surging like a storm-ravaged river” - Scenestr.com

“I have always found comfort and fascination with lyrics and music from an early age. My inspiration has come from the world around me and song-writing is my way to connect with people. I love to see my music make a positive impact”.
