What a weekend! While most people are still talking about their "someday" dreams, Ellie stepped up and delivered a triple threat that would make seasoned performers jealous. First solo gig? Check. First live band performance EVER? Check. Song release? Check. But here's what makes this story absolutely electric – Ellie didn't wait for her performance anxiety to disappear. She didn't spend months in therapy trying to "fix" herself first. She grabbed that fear and turned it into her superpower. The genius move? She's combining her music with breathwork facilitation. Think about it – who better to help other anxious performers than someone who's been in those exact trenches? She's not just making music; she's creating a bridge for others who feel trapped by their own minds. This is what authentic artistry looks like. No manufactured personas or borrowed aesthetics. Just raw, honest music from someone who understands the struggle and chose to sing anyway. And she's only halfway through her MA! The music world better pay attention because Ellie's not just performing – she's pioneering a whole new way to blend healing and artistry. Her visceral melodies aren't just entertainment; they're medicine. Every note carries the weight of someone who's felt the fear and decided to create anyway. Performance anxiety became performance fuel. That's how you turn obstacles into opportunities. The stage is set, the audience is growing, and Ellie's just getting started.
