1) After moving from Texas to Minnesota at age 16, Ellis founded her own record label, Rubberneck Records. She joined a band while in high school and taught herself how to play guitar. She put out her first solo album, Soft Day in 1996.
Ellis is an independent artist and is still based in Minnesota. She fills her songs with charm, humour, and wit, and is most enjoyed live, when you can experience her laughter and giggles—she gains an early, unusual, and strong rapport with her audience.
Her songs speak of lost loves, new loves, grace, losing your car in a snow storm, or random journies through her life—but may just as easily take a philosophical turn and take you by surprise.
She’s currently in the studio preparing her new CD , and she’s posting some of her progress on her blog.
Ellis is often on the cutting edge as far as developing new ways for artist to fund their endeavors, as can be noted by the fundraising for this CD, which allows listeners to “invest” in the project, to be paid back once the disc sells a certain number of copies. More details about this on her website. She also has a program called the Ellis Angels, wherein fans can invest in Ellis herself as a musician, and in exchange listeners receive more frequent updates of her progress, along with monthly songs and videos to keep the Angels occupied until the CD is released.
