With a last name like Melody, it was no wonder Ella ended up in the music industry. Gabriella Joyce Melody was born to Valerie and Rodger Melody in Southern Alabama. She was a happy, bubbly baby and delighted anyone who was near her. As she grew, it became apparent that she was talented with her voice. She started off joining music programs in school, then later on she joined drama club and the school's glee type club. Gabriella was often picked as the lead. With this, came the mockery, but Ella never cared. She enjoyed her music and where she was bullied, she turned and put it in her music. 

She was fourteen when she started her youtube channel. Her father helped her set it up, got her a camera and everything. She posted regularly once a week with a new song or cover she enjoyed. She was eighteen with someone from Luxery Notes messages her and encouraged her to head on over to Nashville when she graduated.

With her parents encouragements as well, they took her to Nashville and she met Andy, one of the main guys of the industry. They had her sing some covers and were hooked on her music. Gabriella applied to college in Nashville and started her music career. 

Ten years later, she's now in her thirties and leading a very successful musical career. Between the tours and the signings, there's hardly a day when she isn't busy, but Ella wouldn't change it for a thing.
