Mancunian music-maker Ellen Beth Abdi uses live loops, pokey drums, undulating synths and quietly subversive lyrics to mould her unique sound.

From supporting The Stone Roses at Wembley Stadium, touring with New Order for their seminal MIF shows and most recently touring and recording with A Certain Ratio (all by the age of 27).

She was invited to collaborate live with music legend Angélique Kidjo, opening Aviva Studios for Manchester International Festival 2023.

Ellen has also produced her debut solo album, set for release later this year.
