Robyn went viral in 2020 and was propelled into the spotlight with her song/video called F-150, written about an ex-boyfriend and the feeling you get when you see an ex in public.

She treated the audience to a fun medley of songs from her formative years, which included Smashmouth’s “Rockstar” and “Best of Both Worlds” by Hannah Montana.

Ell started playing the guitar at age 8 and writing songs at 10. She was influenced by guitar heavyweights like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Keith Urban and John Mayer. In fact, she made a track by track cover of John Mayer’s “Continuum” album in its entirety.
