Ella Belfanti Music

If you started a band with Matt Corby, John Butler, Florence Welch and Ben Harper, you'd just about get 20-year-old artist Ella Belfanti. Sydney-raised, with a soulful sound developed between playing the snowy mountains in Australia and Japan, and the summer festivals on the East Coast, this pint-sized powerhouse has been hailed as ‘the next big thing!’ by Yumi Stynes.

Notable for her percussive fingerstyle guitar, live looping and powerful voice, Ella has won the 'Best Guitarist' award at the 2017 Bluesfest Busking Comp, and has made waves in the festival circuit with festivals including Byron Bay Guitar Festival, National Folk Festival, and Byron Bay Bluesfest under her belt. She takes her audience on a journey through folky ballads, groovy atmospheric blues, percussive guitar pieces, and fast-paced heralds to the confusing human condition. What her songs all have in common is a strikingly genuine quality that can only be described as raw.


"...a wonderful voice that can be gutsy and rich and also exquisitely sweet." - Sophie Hamley, Jolene
