About
Grounded, intimate, and unflinchingly honest, Ella Güdel’s music is a soft bed at the end of a long day and a sparkling sunray through your kitchen window. Ella is an indie folk singer-songwriter, producer, and acoustic guitarist based in Toronto, Canada. She draws inspiration from artists like Adrienne Lenker, Phoebe Bridgers, and Laura Marling, writing intricately crafted lyrics meant to open your senses to the poignant beauty of being alive. Ella’s songs explore themes of self discovery, mental health struggles, and Queer love.

In 2025 she was one of five Youth Discoveries winners at Summerfolk Music and Crafts Festival in Owen Sound.
