Draft:Bellah Mae

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Isabela Ardley, known professionally as Bellah Mae is a British singer-songwriter from Solihul, England, based in London, England.[1][2]

Her grandfather was a country singer, and introduced her to music of varying genres.[3]

She put out her first song independently at age 17 which was noticed by Dolly Parton's manager Danny Nozell.[4] This led to Bellah being invited to participate in a concert series in Nashville and the UK.[5]

After teasing her official debut single 'Boyfriend of the Year' on TikTok and generating millions of views online, Bellah Mae was discovered by an A&R and was signed by major label EMI.[6]

Over 2023, she performed at Great Escape Festival, Reading & Leeds, Brighton Pride. After releasing her debut EP ('With All Due Disrespect'), she was featured in publications including The Independent, Sunday Times and Daily Star. She then toured around the UK on her first headline show at venues including SWG3, O2 Institute 3 and Omeara.[7]

She's currently part of Ticketmaster New Music’s Breakthrough 2024 list.[8]
