About
Ella Quynh is a 16-year-old Southern California singer who’s raw, genre-blending powerhouse vocals have quickly established her as one of the region’s most exciting young voices.
She fuses the emotional depth of R&B and blues with the soaring intensity of hard rock and the catchy, attitude-driven hooks of pop-rock. The result is electrifying live performances that feel both intimate and explosive.
Raised in Southern California, Ella Quynh discovered her voice through musical theater, including roles in musicals like Hercules, Peter Pan and Willy Wonka. From belting Tori Kelly covers as a 9-year-old to delivering soulful renditions of Alicia Keys’ “Fallin’” at 13, her talent stood out early. She later dove into the rebellious energy of hard rock, drawing inspiration from Paramore, Avril Lavigne, and Amy Lee, before landing on her signature bold pop-rock sound that captures the unfiltered highs and lows of teenage life.
Through consistent online covers, high-energy live shows, and relentless work, Ella has built a loyal grassroots fan base she calls her “Day Ones.” Her latest release, “Iconic,” showcases her vocal power, crunchy energy, and cool-girl attitude. A new music video and fresh tracks are dropping in May 2026.
Outside of music, Ella Quynh remains deeply involved in musical theater and competes as a cross-country and track athlete for her high school. She also holds leadership roles in the Associated Student Body (ASB), Model United Nations, and Future Leaders of America. A dedicated storyteller, she writes from personal experience, stays hands-on with every part of her career, and is a vocal supporter of independent artists and local music venues.
Whether she’s bringing raw rock energy to stages like the House of Blues Anaheim and Chain Reaction or delivering soul-stirring moments rooted in Blues and R&B, Ella Quynh creates honest, powerful, and undeniably iconic music.
With her versatile range, rebellious spirit, and growing presence across Southern California, this Vietnamese American teen is an artist to watch.
