Ella Mai is an English singer-songwriter who took the music world by storm with her distinctive style of contemporary R&B infused with a soulful undertow. Born on November 3, 1994, in London, England, she moved to New York City at the age of 12 before returning to the UK after graduating from high school. Ella's initial foray into the music scene began with a brief stint on the British X Factor as part of a trio, but it wasn't until her solo work and the subsequent discovery of her music on social media that she truly started to make waves.

Ella Mai's rise to prominence was marked by the release of her eponymous debut album, "Ella Mai," which was propelled by the ubiquitous hit single "Boo'd Up." The track not only garnered widespread commercial success but also earned her a Grammy for Best R&B Song, effectively cementing her status as a breakout star. Her discography, centered around themes of love and relationships, comprises EPs such as "READY," "CHANGE," and "Time," which showcase her evolving artistry and vocal prowess. Following the breakthrough of "Boo'd Up," Ella continued her ascent with tracks like the introspective "Not Another Love Song" and her highly-anticipated sophomore project, "Heart On My Sleeve," demonstrating her continued commitment to authenticity and emotional depth in her music. The deluxe edition of "Heart On My Sleeve" offers fans an extended taste of her signature sound, further solidifying her standing in the contemporary R&B genre.
