Ella and Chris have written music together since 2002 and after a long period working independently of each other are thrilled to be reunited in music once again.
Martin Jackson
Singer, songwriter, guitarist and all-round multi-instrumentalist, whose music is both intimate and expansive. His lyrics reflect his fascination with the human condition and are beautifully complimented by the raw emotion of his vocals. Martin developed his unique and experimental use of space and harmonics through collaborating with The Cure’s guitarist Porl Thompson when he was recruited at just sixteen as the singer for his band Quietly Torn. He has also worked with Hugo Largo’s lead singer Mimi Goese, co-writing on two songs – Life You Are and Buoy. His most recent recordings are available to listen and download from Soundcloud and Bandcamp at https://martinjacksonmusic.bandcamp.com/.
