Ella Thompson

Award-winning Melbourne-based vocalist, musician, and songwriter Ella Thompson bridges the worlds of classic and contemporary soul.

Ella’s timeless songwriting is fed by emotion, empowerment and experience, influence never overpowers Ella’s own unique creative voice or distinct sense of self. She draws from a love of the greats but the character is all her own.

Ella is an artist whose name is being championed by some of the best in the business. She lands on UK Label Mr Bongo and local champions College Of Knowledge (Surprise Chef, Karate Boogaloo, Temporary Blessings) off the back of two standout releases on Hopestreet Recordings, Domino EP in 2023 and Ripple On The Wing LP in 2024 and a stacked touring schedule both solo and supporting the likes of Jalen Ngonda, Lee Fields and Thee Sacred Souls.

‘A talent like hers will always seek to forge to your own path, I’ve been so impressed with this latest solo material’ - BBC’s Craig Charles

‘A wonderful set of moody cinematic R&B/soul songs with a golden nostalgic touch reminiscent of Charlotte Day Wilson, Kadhja Bonet, Cleo Sol and Charlotte Dos Santos’ - KEXP
