Ela Steinmetz—aka ela.—draws inspiration from Schlager, rap and her Eastern European heritage in her songs. It’s invested fruitful collabs with big names like Helene Fischer and Michael Patrick Kelly with a strong personal touch. They sit alongside the accordion-laced, folk-pop smash “Is It Right”, a song ela. co-penned with her band Elaiza that propelled the trio to the Eurovision stage in 2014.
