Ella Hooper

ELLA HOOPER was still a teenager when she burst onto the Australian music scene. Unearthed by Triple J when she was just 13, Ella scored her first number one with the Killing Heidi single Mascara on her 17th birthday, and their debut album, Reflector, entered the ARIA charts at #1, spending six weeks on top, going five times platinum and winning four ARIA Awards, including Album of the Year and Best Group. And at 18, Ella became the first woman to be awarded APRA’s Songwriter of the Year. After releasing three hit albums with Killing Heidi, Ella embarked on a solo career. Her latest album, Small Town Temple – written in her hometown of Violet Town – has been hailed as a new beginning, showcasing Ella’s deeply personal songwriting.
