Fun Fact:
Ela Martini loves hummingbirds! They visit her frequently, symbolizing good luck, love, and resilience. This inside joke between Ela and her grandmother's "messenger bird" turned into a family totem and her artist logo.
Why Ela Martini Chose "Shy Girl"
"I chose this original track because it's lighthearted, danceable, and fun to perform with my band. I wrote it shortly after a Glass Animals concert with my girlfriend. Feeling inspired by Dave Bailey (lead singer of Glass Animals), King Princess, and The Aces, I quickly penned this anthemic gem. It's a funky, flirty queer declaration of love."
Happy Pride Month from The MIC Music Group!
