Ela Ira (Elizabeth Boardman) is an American singer-songwriter, composer and producer of alt-pop who draws influences from 1980’s synth-wave, 1990’s rock, R&B, folk, and classical music.
Originally from Seattle, WA, Ela Ira released her first solo album, “Mine” in 2022 while living in Berlin, Germany. Her songwriting and singing for band White Night was previously recognized by the German Songwriting Awards 2018 (nominee) and US Songwriting Awards 2019 (winner).
“The expertise in composition has most likely stemmed from this artist’s professional musical training. But even so, ‘Nothing To It’ is a marvelously composed debut. With the vast and cool ambience that scratches over this soundscape, it was incredibly easy for us to get lost in the gorgeous sound of this track. We also adore how Ela’s soft and smooth vocals blend so nicely into this expertly crafted tune.”
