Xela (Official)

Xela (pronounced Zella) is a Sydney-based, New Zealand-born singer and songwriter versatile across the genres of neo-soul, r&b, pop and electronic dance. Described as a ‘sublime and sultry’ vocalist, Xela writes catchy melodies and uses harmonic vocal layering to reflect her jazz background and inspiration from gospel and soul. She leans towards touching on topics outside of mainstream discussion, including spirituality, self-healing/trauma, feminism and systemic imbalance.

“The laid-back, soul-infused R&B record sees her exuding confidence and pouring out her true intentions in a world that seems to lack real communication… Bolstered by a smooth and warm backdrop, Xela delivers a sultry and soul-stirring performance peppered with detailed songwriting.”
