Born and raised in Israel to a European mother and Iranian father, Ella grew up with a colorful mix of music and culture. She had been singing classical music since she was 9 years old, in the Israeli Conservatory in Tel Aviv. She had also been writing her whole life. Scripts (when studying film making in the noted "Thelma Yellin" high school of the arts), short stories and poems. It was only at the age of 20, when discovering the art of Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan, that she understood she can combine both of her loves: music and writing. She registered for music studies at the "Rimon school of Jazz and contemporary music", and soon started performing her songs on stage. in 2011 She had been performing in Tel Aviv and all around Israel for a year, when she decided to move to a little town in the French part of Switzerland.
