Effy Marella is an up-and-coming indie artist bringing a biting honesty and distinct sound into the modern music scene.

She has a unique ability to capture a variety of intense emotions, drawing in listeners through her personal lyrics and captivating melodies. Her songs are equally heartbreaking and anthemic, making them perfect for blasting in the car with your friends or crying alone in your bedroom.
On her DEBUT EP bleachers…
“I wrote bleachers about what it feels like to move on from something—a moment, a place, a person— without ever fully letting it go. Forgiveness has always come to me easily, but forgetting is something I have never cared for or been particularly good at. I don’t see it’s value. There is so much to harbor in the memories that hurt us most. While painful, they alter our decisions, they change our perception, they define who we are and who we will become.”
“Raw, gritting, and forlorn are three powerful words that barely scratch the surface of the powerhouse that is Effy Marella.”

“Queen of the Sad Bop... Her music embodies the strange, painful, exhilarating experience of navigating romance and heartbreak as a young 20-something.”
