About

Ella spent many years performing with the award-winning Rainbow Connection Singers Choir, developing her vocal ability and stage presence from an early age.

Another proud career highlight was performing a televised rendition of the UK's first Kings National Anthem at the prestigious St Leger Festival at Doncaster Racecourse. Singing at such a historic event was both an honour and a privilege, and remains one of the most memorable moments of her career.
Whether performing live at weddings, private events, corporate functions, festivals, or special occasions, Ella is dedicated to delivering unforgettable performances that leave a lasting impression.
My Britain's Got Talent Journey
Where It All Began
My Britain's Got Talent journey actually began when I was just 10 years old.
As a young performer with a huge passion for singing, I took to the Britain's Got Talent stage for the very first time. Although I was only at the beginning of my journey, the experience gave me a glimpse into the world of live television and performing in front of a national audience. It was an unforgettable opportunity that inspired me to continue developing my talent and pursue my dream of becoming a professional performer.
Looking back now, it's incredible to see how far I've come. Returning to the Britain's Got Talent stage years later wasn't just another audition—it felt like coming full circle. I stepped back onto that stage with years of experience, confidence, and determination, ready to show how much I'd grown both as a performer and as a person.
A Dream That Became Reality
Walking onto the Britain's Got Talent stage for Season 19 was one of the most exciting and unforgettable moments of my life. What started as a dream became a reality as I stepped out in front of thousands of people and a judging panel I've watched for years.
From the moment I arrived at the auditions, the atmosphere was electric. It was a day filled with excitement, nerves, laughter, and memories that I'll treasure forever. Meeting so many talented performers and experiencing everything that happens behind the scenes was incredible, but nothing compared to stepping onto that famous stage.
My performance received an overwhelming response from both the audience and the judges. Hearing the crowd rise to their feet for a standing ovation was a moment I'll never forget. It was one of those experiences where everything you've worked towards suddenly feels worthwhile.
Even more incredibly, I received four YES votes, taking me through to the next stage of the competition. Receiving such positive feedback from the judges was an honour, especially from Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, and KSI, who all made the experience even more special with their encouragement and kind words.
Whether the journey continues or not, simply having the opportunity to perform on one of the world's biggest talent shows has been an unforgettable milestone. It reminded me why I love performing and inspired me to keep chasing even bigger dreams.

after seeing Ella a few times at the glasshouse we thought that she would be the perfect artist for our wedding and we were not disappointed. Ella sang our first wedding dance song beautifully, even though it wasn’t on her usual repertoire Ella learned the song for us (with notice of course)! The set chosen by Ella was perfect for our audience of old and young and everyone was up dancing. It was a perfect end to a magical day. Thank you soo much Ella

I have loved your voice and followed your progress ever since you performed "My Immortal" on this platform (just over 3 years ago now). I must confess to revisiting that post on so many repeat visits. You sing it with such passion.

What a privilege it was to have Ella sing at my grandad’s surprise birthday party In April. Ella was great with communicating before the event and even learnt my grandads favourite songs to perform on the night! Her voice is phenomenal, from soft ballads to crowd pleasers that got everybody up dancing, she really made the party for us all. We can’t recommend Ella enough, enough so my daughter now has a fortnightly slot for 1-1 singing lessons with Ella. My daughter’s improvement and confidence has grown so much in a short space of time. Ella is a professional performer and teacher. Thank you for everything. X

OVER THE RAINBOW
GOING FOR GOLD
Ella Jay recently had the enormous privilege and honour of singing one of the first televised renditions of the new National Anthem at the opening of the 2022 Cazoo
St. Leger at Doncaster Racecourse.
Ella Jay is a member of the Rainbow Connections Singers, who were the winners of the BBC Open Choir of the Year in 2010, 2014, & 2016.
The choir were also the winners of the Manchester Amateur

on BBC TV and Radio.
This year will mark their 9th consecutive season as the in-house entertainment at Center Parcs, Nottingham, where they perform twice weekly for holiday makers enjoying their magical Winter Wonderland breaks.
Attaining both a London College of Music Diploma and a LLCM Diploma was a significant accomplishment for Ella Jay, in particular, as she was one of the first people in the country under the age of 17 to achieve this.
Ella Jay was the winner of the prestigious Robin Hood Music & Drama Festival in 2015.
