Ellie ,

From an early age, Ellie discovered a love for performance through annual school appearances at the National Eisteddfod of Wales, where singing quickly became a passion. Growing up surrounded by music, she trained in both Musical Theatre and Pop vocal performance throughout high school, while also learning guitar and piano.
Inspired by the classic "Barbie as The Princess and the Pauper" (and other Barbie Princess films!) she developed a strong ear for vocal performance by recreating the songs and character voices from a young age.
She went on to study Performing Arts at Coleg Llandrillo in North Wales, where she performed as Cinderella in Into the Woods and appeared in productions including Moulin Rouge!, The Wind in the Willows-inspired Toad of Toad Hall, and Rock of Ages. She later trained on the HNC Musical Theatre course at The Arden School of Theatre before continuing her professional training at BIMM Institute Brighton / The Institute for Contemporary Theatre, graduating with a degree in Musical Theatre despite the challenges of training during the Covid-19 pandemic. During her final year, she performed on the main stage at Move It 2023.
