Ella aven
Known for her folksy sound and lyricism, Ella Aven has used her Washington roots to bring something new to the Nashville scene. Taking inspiration from Artists like Joni Mitchell and Zach Bryan, Aven has utilized her unique vocal tone to display emotion and pairs it with simplistic instruments put a fresh twist on the indie folk sound.
Despite being raised in a far from musical family, Aven was adamant about starting guitar lessons at a young age. On her 7th birthday she was given her first guitar and began taking lessons from a man at a local music school. She would later begin voice lessons with his wife. Having known her since she was just a little kid, this hippie couple seemingly adopted Aven as their musical child. Over the years, their influence not only helped Aven develop her musical skill set but also develop a deep love for acoustic instrumentation and raw storytelling.
Aven is currently pursuing her musical career in Nashville, Tennessee at Belmont University as a Commercial Voice Major with a songwriting emphasis. You can find Ella performing around Nashville at venues, writers' rounds, and house shows, including her headlining performance at The End in April 2025. Her second single “Graveyard” came out in March 2025 which perfectly set the tone for her debut EP “Messages to the Moon” planned to be released in early 2026. She is ready and eager to continue expanding her performance experience and take on new and exciting projects.
