Career



Early life


Elli Ingram was born 14 July 1993 in Brighton, England. She grew up in a very musical household. Her father performed in a band, her mother enjoyed listening to Joni Mitchell, Reggae and Ska, and her sister played the piano. At the age of 14, a teacher entered Ingram into a talent show which she won. At the age of 18, she began to post YouTube videos of song covers. Her cover of Kendrick Lamar's "Poetic Justice" has more than a million views.[3][4][5]

In 2013, Ingram toured through Europe with the English drum 'n' bass duo Chase & Status and was featured on their album Brand New Machine. In July she released her first EP titled Sober through Chase & Status' MTA label as a free digital download.[6] The EP earned a Best Newcomer nomination at the MOBO Awards[7] and a music video for the song "Mad Love", directed by Emil Nava, was nominated for Best Pop Video at the UK Music Video Awards 2013.[8][9]

In 2014, her second EP The Doghouse was released on Island Records.[10] A promotional single titled "When It Was Dark" was also released, accompanied by a music video, once again directed by Emil Nava.[11][12]

On 15 September 2017, Ingram's first album Love You Really was released. With it came a promotional music video by British art photographer and filmmaker Nadia Lee Cohen.[13][14]
