Elles Bailey

"With her gravel'n'smoke voice, ability to be both cheeky and heartbreaking, and a dirt-kicking live band, her rise and rise is inevitable" - MOJO

Fiercely independent, the British singer songwriter has been steadily honing her craft for the better part of a decade. Her magnificent voice, instantly recognisable, full of grit - weaves stories of resilience and survival, of hope and new beginnings. In her music, we find liberation as she picks at the threads of human connection, carefully unravelling the truths we might not have realised about ourselves.

Elles Bailey is particularly acclaimed in the Blues, Americana and Rock scenes where she’s won multiple awards. She’s built her reputation, sales and following through sustained initiative and hard work.
