Ellie Temple is an independent artist from the suburbs of New Jersey.

With time also spent living in New York City and Los Angeles, the sounds of Ellie Temple are a reflection of these different environments.​

Her lyrics strike you with the blunt yet loving truth only a New Yorker could articulate. Her melodies leave you floating aimlessly away from these truths like the dreamy facade of Los Angeles. Her dialogue and story-telling make you yearn for a simpler time, romanticizing the comfortable yet sometimes draining day-to-day life in the suburbs.​

With influences ranging from Stevie Nicks to Elvis to Johnny Cash to Bobby Darin to Prince, the music of Ellie Temple is somewhat contradictory.

Fresh yet nostalgic. Heartbreaking yet charming. Pouty yet playful.

Modern rawness with a certain nostalgic flair.​

Ellie Temple’s debut EP, “Runnin’ on Empty” is a collection of five songs reflecting the downfall of a five-year relationship that encapsulates her duality magnificently – passionate reality and heartbreak in her lyrics juxtaposed with lofty modern-folk, pop and rock undertones.​

Her music though is best without a genre – a label would only limit the emotionally-charged experience that is the music of Ellie Temple.
