Elli Berlin was born Elli Kasner in 1991. She grew up in a family involved with the arts and started learning piano and vocals early. By her teenage years, she was writing and performing her own songs.
Her debut single "Lieb Mich" came out in 2017 and found a wide audience in Germany. The song's straightforward pop melody and personal lyrics connected with listeners. She followed it with an album of the same name in 2018.
She works with a band that includes Stefan Richter on guitar, Felix Lampert on bass, and Jonas Rankl on drums. Other songs like "Oh Lord" and "Zu Wahr Um Schoen Zu Sein" show her leaning into pop with some electronic touches. She has also spoken publicly about LGBTQ+ rights and mental health.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
