Elle Taranis
Like most kids, Elle grew up hiding from thunderstorms under pillows. Now in her 20s, she has experienced so many of them, both figuratively and literally, that she isn’t afraid of them anymore. Taking inspiration from various bands, including Icon For Hire, Paramore, Charlotte Sands, and Sleeping With Sirens, Elle’s music is the perfect blend. Like most people, Elle was terrified of upsetting others by being honest about her feelings regarding her life. Growing up with chronic anxiety and depression while experiencing grief, bullying, joint issues, and ADHD, Elle felt and still feels the world extremely deeply. Relying on playlists and journals, Elle navigated her early years by putting her life into music. After years of learning how to mask her differences to seem normal, she lost her sense of identity.
Taranis’s pathway to freedom was conquering her fears by giving voice to her feelings through her music. The last name she chose, Taranis, is the Celtic god of thunder, reflecting her Irish heritage and her fearless nature. Her music (or storm) narrates the good, the bad, and the ugly she’s experienced in life so far. She shares these stories from her own experience and loved ones through a sonic landscape best described as punk guitars and drums blended with modern pop production. Catchy, upbeat, and insightful, her music will get stuck in your head and play on repeat on your playlist.
