Totally original. New but familiar. ellee ven.
UNSIGNED MUSIC MAGAZINE’S 2006 pick for VIDEO OF THE YEAR, Los Angeles native ellee ven would never have thought her pet project would be a critic’s pick, but since her April 2007 release YOUCANBUYME she’s got heads nodding and toes tapping. Nominated for 2007 POP ARTIST OF THE YEAR, INDEPENDENT CD OF THE YEAR & FOR VIDEO OF THE YEAR at the South Bay Music Awards and for DANCE SONG OF THE YEAR at the Los Angeles Music Awards, she’s beginning to see the light.
YOUCANBUYME is an admitted indulgence fusing dance jams and ballads created producers Reggie Dozier (Outkast, Joss Stone & Justin Timberlake), DJ SWAMP (Beck's DJ from 1996-2000 and contributor to albums by Kid Rock, The Crystal Method & Morcheeba), Antony Lee, DJ Solange, Trypsin & Prodéje. “My wish is to be less “genre specific’ as an artist and to put myself in front of different audiences”.
Creating a total experience for her fans, ellee ven stands firm that art has the power to move the masses. After a small amount of touring, ellee ven wanted to be billed with artists who she thought were like minded, to create an event that she would want to go to and in 2001, the first GIVE INTO THE GROOVE was held in Santa Monica, California. The benefit features original art by gathering the best new and emerging independent artists from the area in the name of a good cause. After five years, ellee ven’s annual Give Into The Groove event has enjoyed increased success traveling the nation. With the mantra “no gift is too big or too small”, the benefit’s goal is to inform people about organizations in need.
ellee ven has managed to hone in on a genre all her own called “groovetonics”. “Thanks to DJs, my vision of remaining open to all genres has become a reality. People appreciate the power of melody and the ability for songs to translate well in different genres and languages. It just comes down to what sounds good.” ellee ven’s CD/Vinyl remix series titled PROJECT 11 helped introduce ellee ven to DJs and audiences worldwide. “DJs control the play list… and they just want great songs”.
ellee ven’s site (www.elleeven.com) showcases the range and diversity of her music which she self titled, groovetonics: a mix of electronica, pop and rock. All of ellee ven’s releases can be found on line and in select retail outlets. ellee ven has been featured in Saturday Night Magazine, Music Connection, Campus Cicle, Billboard and has graced the cover of Unsigned Music Magazine and Saludos Hispanos. ellee ven’s music has charted on international DJ charts and radio.
