Ellee Duke

Artist and songwriter Ellee Duke grew up in Utah, where she began writing songs at five years old—using storytelling to make sense of the world around her. What started in her bedroom led to an early development deal with Big Machine Records.

Now a Billboard-charting songwriter, Ellee earned her first #1 with “Craving,” a collaboration with ARTY and Audien. Her writing credits include Slayyyter, Lukas Graham, Alexander Stewart, Walk Off the Earth and more, and her song “Adrenaline” was recently featured in a Fiji Water commercial.

Blending Americana clarity with modern pop sensibility, Ellee writes emotionally resonant, hook-driven songs marked by vulnerability and sharp observational storytelling. She is currently preparing to release Embarrassingly Alive, her most honest and unfiltered project yet—embracing nuance, truth, and the gray areas of being human.

This summer, Ellee will bring the project to life through Embarrassingly Alive Sessions — a series of intimate, immersive listening experiences taking place in private spaces across Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, and Nashville ahead of the album’s fall release. Designed to feel more like late-night slumber parties than traditional concerts, the events center around community, vulnerability, and connection through music.
