about
Ellen Doty is a soulful singer-songwriter from Calgary, Alberta with a world-class voice and a classic sound. Citing influences from legendary singers like Nat King Cole and Ella Fitzgerald to modern artists like Lauryn Hill and Norah Jones, Doty's music is a collection of genres and styles - rich, sultry, smooth vocals blend effortlessly with jazzy guitar chords, funky horns shots, bluesy Hammond organ, and driving pop-r&b grooves. Her new single 'That's Love' is set to be released in April 2013 with a five song EP to follow in May. She is currently writing with long-time collaborator / guitarist Josh Crowhurst and recording with Producers Spencer Cheyne and Craig Newnes at The Station Recording Co. along with some of Canada's best studio musicians. The songs on her EP range from intimate, jazz-infused ballads (Come Closer) to driving Latin-pop (Why Can't You Be My Man?). She is excited to bring her music to the masses - ""I love to write, perform, and record music. They are all very different, yet essential parts of being an artist today. Writing helps me to explore my creative side and is especially fun in a collaborative setting, whereas recording and performing live are wonderful outlets for sharing my music with others." Originally from Okotoks, Alberta, Doty has been a performer since age five. In her early years she sang at church choir and competed in the Youth Talent Showdown at the Calgary Stampede. She went on to study vocal jazz at Carleton University in Otta
