Let me tell you a little bit about me...
Ellie Barrett is a passionate triple threat, crossing over her singing in musical theatre and opera, dancing in multiple styles, and acting. Her passions for performing began at the age of seven years old, where she participated in a summer musical theatre camp and got to perform as “Wendy” in Peter Pan. Ever since then, the "theater bug" bit and she has devoted her life and career to the arts ever since. She attributes her musicianship to her supportive and loving family, where she was inspired by her professional trombone-playing grandfather and piano playing mother to pursue her dreams.
