Ekelle

Ekelle is a multi-genre artist and songwriter from Toronto. Ekelle rhymes about what she knows best: her real life experience! Money, sex, drama and identity stir together to create a style that she calls Hood Pop - Popular music with a street edge. Hood Pop combines elements of hip hop, pop music and R&B. Growing up in the 90’s she fell in love with the sounds of TLC, Destiny’s Child, Britney Spears, Puff Daddy, Eminem, NWA and many more acts. At the beginning stages of her career she thought she just had to pick one genre to work with which was hard for her because so many different styles gave her inspiration. Ekelle has since then branched out and decided to carve out her own sound that represents her eclectic tastes and interests. Is it a life lesson or just a good time? You can expect both from this sharp shooter. Ekelle loves to candidly rap out her real lived experience and/or play with metaphor and simile as she sings. She puts her songs together with dreamy soundscapes and hard hitting beats that can turn up any party! Ekelle was finding that she enjoyed the music being made today, but there were aspects of her story there were simply no songs for, so she decided to create them herself. Her cathartic approach with her newly improved sound began to take her places. Drawing on her experiences with heartbreak, happiness, race, love, sexual orientation and more she definitely has an anthem for you! Read full bio @ officialekelle.com
