Ella Mai
Artist
After leaving BIMM London, Grammy Award-winning Ella Mai relocated to LA and quickly gained traction as an R&B artist. After her Instagram covers caught his attention, she signed to DJ Mustard’s 10 Summers record label. Shortly after releasing her self-titled debut album in late 2018, she signed a global record deal with Sony/ATV.
Ella was establishing herself as a major player in the music business, and she even became the first British artist in 26 years to score a no.1 single on the US R&B chart with ‘Boo’d Up’. The hit single was nominated for two Grammys – Song of the Year and Best R&B Song – and won the latter award. US titans Nicki Minaj and Quavo then remixed the single. Ella won three awards at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards, including Top R&B Artist, and received nominations for British Breakthrough Act at the BRIT Awards.
After a very successful debut headline tour in 2019, Ella joined Ariana Grande on the European leg of her Sweetener World Tour in the same year. Ella has also toured with Bruno Mars and collaborated with Ed Sheeran, Usher, and Ty Dolla $ign.
In 2020, Ella released the single ‘Not Another Love Song’, which peaked at no.9 in the US R&B charts. The track was featured in Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty fashion show, and Ella also performed it on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert a few days after its release.
Her second album, Heart On My Sleeve (2022), debuted at no.15 on the US Billboard 200 and no.2 on the Top R&B Albums chart. Her latest EP, 3, was released in November 2024 to celebrate her 30th birthday. In this record, she writes honestly about love and celebrates the small things in life. We’re excited to see where she’ll go from here.
