Californian-Melbournian artist El Tee has been building a devoted following indie scene since 2018. The indie-folk artist writes songs about grief and love and loss, juxtaposing her dark-mood lyrics with unassuming softness and much-welcomed intimacy. In 2025, El Tee released her EP, ‘Kind Safe Cool’, accompanied by her second national headline tour, solidifying her reputation as a compelling live performer.
El Tee released her debut album, ‘Everything Is Fine’ in 2020, receiving critical acclaim, and celebrated with a sold out album launch. Her music has topped Australian community radio charts, garnered spins on triple J and US college radio, and rotation on KEXP. El Tee has secured multiple competitive national arts grants to support her EP in international markets as well as future projects, including a recent co-writing trip to Los Angeles in support of her forthcoming Sophomore record. With a growing international presence and a new body of work in progress, El Tee is poised to bring her intimate, emotionally resonant sound to global stages.
El Tee has been compared to the likes of Angel Olsen and Sharon Van Etten. Often backed by a four-piece band, El Tee has supported and graced lineups alongside Julia Jacklin, Good Morning, Blake Scott, and Ryan Downey. Playing various local notable gigs and festivals such as Delivered Live, Isol-Aid Festival, Music That Matters Bushfire Benefit, and Leaps and Bounds Music Festival, El Tee has been steadily gathering a wake of dedicated fans in tow.
