living in southern Wisconsin, comes from a family of musicians and
was already singing by the age of 3. Everyday during her childhood,
she heard music almost around the clock - Symphonic, Operatic,
Chamber and Twelve-Tone music, Jazz of all styles, R & B, Soul,
Funk, Rock and Pop.Rolling
Stone wrote about Ella, "Ella Blame is a less serious
electronica version of Kate Bush with a touch of Shirley Bassey
sass. Her powerful voice fits the diverse material which fluctuates
from high b.p.m. workouts to goth bleakness to soulful acid
jazz."
