ABOUT Chia (a.k.a. Ellie Bekka Gonzalvez) is a versatile young artist of English-Indian heritage. She was brought up in the south of Spain in a hugely diverse family where each of her (adopted) siblings comes from a different part of the world. She's fluent in English and Spanish. Chia, now 17, started her music education early, while studying at the famed Sotogrande International School, and now studies at the BIMM institute in Birmingham. Before long, she performed at virtually all school concerts, quickly gaining a reputation as one of the best performers and singers around. When she was just 14, she was discovered by MMI Studios and signed up for a development deal. A little while later, the music industry started to take note. She got picked up for a management deal with DJL in London, and various major as well as mid- sized record labels started showing their interest soon thereafter. This interest grew even bigger after the German- based Sicnature production team signed up to remix some of Ellie's tracks. Watch this space, as her music career is just beginning... PROOF OF CONCEPT We’ve kept Chia “under wraps” throughout most of her development with us, waiting for the right moment to unveil her to the world. Recently we decided to briefly make a handful of her recordings public, to a small group of friends and their immediate circles. The reaction - with no hype or pushing - was very promising. Each song clocked up thousands of shares and likes on YouTube - without us lifting a finger. SINGER MODELLING STUDENT TESTIMONIALS SINGER Chia is an inspired singer/songwriter and a passionate lover of all kinds of music.

I really fancy its chances. Also, I'm looking forward to hearing "Hurtz" which I'm told is even stronger. Please keep me informed so that out publisher network can add support. PETER KNIGHT (Ex head of A&R for Pye Records, Managing Director Artista Records UK, Owner of Catalyst Music) Chia’s voice is very special and memorable. This coupled with her striking look and a wonderful personality make me believe in her great long-term potential as a pop artist. DEREK LAWRENCE (multi-million-selling producer and manager, credits include Deep Purple, Wishbone Ash, Jethro Tull, Hot Chocolate and over 200 more world-class artists from the 70's through to today) I love this singer! Great mellow vibe to her voice; everything she s sung on of mine has its own different character. I’m sure she‘ll be massive in the future. Great image, great voice.
