Lamont Jerrett Carmine Goglia Leon Young Born at the Stanford University hospital, Ellen K, the youngest of six Norwegian children grew up in a quiet, academic environment vs. the one she thrives in today with Multi-Media Mogul, Ryan SeacresL Ellen's father, a math scientist turned NASA Rocket engineer taught at Stanford until accepting a key role at Purdue University and moving the family to Indiana. At 4, Ellen began competitively swimming which lead to "early morning" practices which proved to be useful training for "early morning Radio''. While captain of the swim team and homecoming queen, Ellen showed her multi-tasking mindset early­ on by also accepting a weekend internship at a local radio station. From the moment Ellen began talking to listeners on air about their lives- she was hooked!

Ellen was recruited to San Diego Radio, then San Francisco and finally to the #1 radio market in the world where she plays a key role on air for Clear Channels' 102.7 KIIS FM and worldwide on 175+ affiliates in the US and 15 foreign countries. The daily syndicated radio show is also heard on the rapidly expanding iheartradio APP and XM/Sirius. (The full station affiliate Map is detailed at www.ellenk.com }.

From landing a gig on air with legendary Rick Dees and being apart of 12 Billboard & Marconi Radio Awards at KIIS FM to re-launching all over again with Mega Star, Ryan Seacrest, Ellen recognizes the invaluable support of friends, family, co-workers, management and key Celebrities that opened doors along the way to her a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fa me in May 2012.

Ellen's' relaxed manner in front of a camera and behind a microphone landed her many assignments in TV and Radio. In the early 2000s', Ellen co-hosted with Wayne Brady on his Emmy Award winning daily Talk Show while holding down a correspondent role for Extra TV and continuing On Air every morning at KIIS FM. Ellen's Multimedia approach continues today as she hosts "Ellen Ks' Inside Hollywood" on the KTLA 6pm Newscast daily and remains focused on her priority to create 5 hours of top rated morning radio daily with the Ubiquitously Popular, Ryan Sea crest.

Ellen's work ranges from the on-camera announcer for "The Grammys" on CBS to a similar role for the SAG Awards show on TNT and cameos on "Keeping up with the l

Ellen K is showcased "online" weekly as the host and executive producer of a "Hollywood Preview & Daily Deal" program at www.velvetredtv.com as well as can be heard "on demand" with a fresh ":60 Seconds of Sleaze" in the form of an new "Audio Alert" served to the SmartPhone in a joint venture with the Global Traffic & Audio Alert Network.

Ellen balances the entertainment and business roles with spending her afternoons alongside her active 9-year-old son, Calvin and that same executive she married 13 years ago. Finally, Ellen signed-on to author a book slated to release in late '13 that dramatizes the multi-tasking mindset it sometimes takes to be a Working Mom in Hollywood titled, "The MommyWood Mindset: 8 Jobs or None!".
