Ella Duff Visits Section 36 Music!

I'm so glad that Section 36 Music had another visitor! Ella Duff is a wonderful artist whose recent single is one that you want to listen to again and again. I was so thrilled she was willing to visit with us and discuss her music, challenges, and a bit more. I'm sure you'll love what she had to say.

So, let's see what happens when Ella Duff visits Section 36 Music!

I love your latest single, “Let It Happen”. What can you tell me about it?

“Let It Happen” is my latest single released on March 3, 2025. I began writing this song in early 2024 when I was living in Southern California. I had just graduated high school, and had moved to LA as part of my gap year. The song talks about a lot of the feelings I had moving all the way across the country and whether or not that would change who I was. As much as it was my dream to move somewhere new after high school, I still felt it was difficult to leave behind things I had back at home. When I moved to Nashville in the fall of 2024, I sat down with a friend Hope Deluca, to finish the song. This song is sort of a “coming of age” song for my discography, and I really feel like it encapsulates a feeling that many people have when moving somewhere new and hoping to change. 

Do you see more studio work in your future?

Yes! My long term goal is to continue releasing music, and I hope to be back in the studio soon. Right now my priorities are songwriting and live performance to grow my audience and repertoire. I love being in the studio and seeing my songs come to life so stay tuned for that!

What do you enjoy most about performing live on stage?

Performing live has always been one of my favorite parts of being a singer/songwriter. I think there is something so special about allowing the audience to connect to your music on a deeper level and hear some of the heart behind what I’ve written. I feel so at home when I am performing on stage and every time I finish a show, I feel even more inspired to continue making music. This year I had the chance to perform at the iconic Bluebird Cafe in Nashville, TN, which was one of my greatest experiences as an artist. Being in a room full of so many talented songwriters was truly inspiring. 

What would you say is your biggest musical challenge?

I would say my biggest musical challenge is the fear that others won’t like the music I put out. I really try to be as vulnerable as I can in my songwriting, which also comes with a lot of nerves whenever the time comes to release my songs/post them on social media. The reward is always so great when sharing music – one of my favorite parts of putting out music is hearing people’s responses and reactions to my work & it makes all of the nerves worth it.

What are your immediate musical goals?

Right now I’m super focused on writing a ton of music. I am hoping to record an EP in the near future and want to compile as many songs as I can to start narrowing down for an eventual EP. I’m currently based in Nashville, TN which has opened up a lot of doors for co-writes and collaborations which I am excited to continue as well!
