How would you describe your music?
QE: My music is definitely different. It’s happy, I have my sad moments, it’s uplifting and I try to encourage the younger audience especially since there is so much going on right now. My music is just a reflection of me. People always say “you’re beautiful” now, but people never used to always tell me that. I was called ugly, unattractive, or I didn’t have “swag.” I got picked on and bullied coming up. So, I embrace who I was and just began loving myself. I started writing about it and telling stories about relationships and just whatever I went through. I just want to tell my story and hopefully inspire someone else. - Smangiee
“With an all-star line up of Arinze, Rav.P, Black Thought and Queen Ella coming together on one record, each artist celebrates their “Achievements” on this latest release. With Rav doubling up as both emcee and producer, “Achievements” is laced with a melodic chorus by Queen Ella and verses from Arinze, Rav.P and Black Thought of The Roots over the triumphant instrumental.” - The Certified Genius
New York's Queen Ella is a full-time singer/songwriter bound to break some barriers. The singer put aside her career in international business to pursue a music career. Did we mention she's ballsy? Gotta love that. She has been performing since the age of 4 and has been on some pretty prestigious stages, including NY's Apollo Theater and Metropolitan Room, respectively. - Tina
"Pop/R&B newcomer, Queen Ella, born Queenella Nicole Gibson, is a force to be reckoned with. With a brand new game-changing EP, Exit 144, under her belt, along with some impressive accolades, the singer is more than ready to conquer the world and make the listener (that’s you!) fall in love with her and what she has to offer. I got to chat with the Queen herself on all things real, what her main mission is with her music..." - TINA ROUMELIOTIS
