Ella Dunshea, a talented singer-songwriter from Melbourne's picturesque Mornington Peninsula, is an emerging talent often likened to artists like Phoebe Bridgers, Olivia Rodrigo, and Hatchie. That's a captivating description of an indie singer-songwriter, likely an emerging or underground artist, with a unique sonic identity that seamlessly merges her passion for storytelling with a distinct blend of indie rock and pop.
