Month: May 2025

It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since I released Better Off into the world.

This song has always been about stepping into something new, finding the courage to move forward into better situations. And now, 12 months later, I can honestly say: I’m even better off than when this track first dropped! Life is taking off in ways I never imagined and I’m so grateful you’ve been along for the ride.

To celebrate the anniversary, I’ve re-released the original Better Off music video in a new vertical format, perfect for phones and reels. It was directed by the amazing Mike Robertson (@rikemobertson), and features Larissa Poho(@larissapoho) and Lucy, the Great Dane. The video is full of Edmonton landmarks that you may recognize!

If you haven’t added this track to your Summer 2025 playlist yet, now’s the time. A year later, it still hits.

Meanwhile, something new is brewing…

I just returned from a co-writing trip in Peterborough, where I had the absolute honour of working with the incomparable Hawksley Workman (@hawksleyworkman). We spent the week developing new material for my upcoming album and the creativity was flowing!

We were joined by Tristan Konkle (@tristanpjjkonkle) of Tapes in Motion, who will be helping record and mix the album this summer. And that’s not all — I also had the pleasure of co-writing with some incredibly talented artists including Skye Wallace (@skyewallacemusic), Van Camp (@vancamp.music) and the amazing Colleen Brown(@colleenbrownmusic) back home in Edmonton.

Creating music with these folks has been a dream and I can’t wait to share what we’ve been making. For now, I’m soaking up all the inspiration and momentum.

Thanks for being here,

Ellie

Three years ago, I released my very first single into the world- High Wire. 

I produced and recorded it with my dad, paid for most of it out of pocket and paired it with a music video. 

I remember how scared I was to share it. Fittingly, the song was about fear.

Since then, my music journey has been full of unknowns. I’ve taken risks, tried new things and embraced what it means to feel new. 

Lately, that newness feels less intimidating and more like a doorway to inspiration, to connection and most of all, to new music.

Next week, I’m heading into some exciting writing sessions with some seriously talented folks (can’t wait to share more about that soon!). 

Before I go, I wanted to share a clip of where it all began- the song that helped me feel brave enough to start.

Three years later, I’m still breathing deep and taking it one step at a time.

Here’s High Wire, my first ever song and music video. Definitely not my last. 

I’m really excited to share what’s to come with all of you. 

In the meantime, thanks for being here for the journey!
