Ella Mai: Biography (Age)
On the 3rd of November, 1994, Ella Mai Howell was born in London, England. Not much is known about her life before her teenage years other than the fact that she was a member of the church choir and that she used to audition for school musicals.
A year before she turned 13, Mai moved to New York City with her mother who got a new job stateside. During this time, she attended Queens High School of Teaching in Glen Oaks, Queens. It is said that the young girl stopped singing around this time because she got conscious of her accent in a new country. She instead chose to take to playing soccer, both for her school and for a club.
At her high school graduation ceremony, Ella Mai opted to sing the national anthem, where she wowed everybody with her voice, prompting her to give singing another chance. Following her return to England in 2014, Mai enrolled at the British and Irish Modern Music Institute London. While there, she formed a music trio called Arize who competed in the season 11 of The X Factor. The trio did not seem to have found their feet at the time as they were not able to go beyond initial auditions for the judges. The trio soon later went their separate ways but Mai did not shelve her ambitions of making it in music.
Ella Mai continued to work on her music and in 2015, she released a four-track solo EP on SoundCloud titled Trouble. Her music caught the attention of numerous people, but it was Los Angeles music producer, DJ Mustard that signed her to his label, 10 Summers Records, which is under Interscope Records.
