Soon after receiving her Masters Degree in education, the teacher turned artist had a “moment of clarity,” that spurred her to do it herself and start Hot Sauce Records in 2000, her independently financed label. Ellee ven resigned from her teaching position and has since lived by the motto: “nobody can change yesterday but everybody can change today,” and has spread her musical harmonies worldwide.

Her own music is self described as 'groovetonics,' a genre of music she created that fuses elements of pop, rock, and electronica to lift your mood and make you move. With an album currently in the making, her set at Give Into The Groove is sure to be filled with a mix of fan favorites and new tunes. Throughout her music career, ellee ven has always made no attempt at being genre specific, instead putting forth an attempt to stretch out and try different ideas without yielding to commercial pressures or trends.
