Musician duo: The Ells
The Ells, an up-and-coming duo in the alternative indie scene, consists of Emmanuel Ndifon and Artwell Neusu.
Their journey began serendipitously, with each musician encountering the other's performances at various venues, including open markets, lounges and music events.
This mutual admiration led them to join forces, a collaboration Ndifon fondly described as "the rest is history."
Ndifon and Neusu's music is a refreshing take on alternative indie, blending unique sounds and a "good feeling" experience.
Their performances are characterised by an intimate and engaging atmosphere, drawing fans into their world with each performance.
Growth orientated
The Ells often perform at various venues, charging at certain events.
However, they make their music accessible and offer consultations on these charges to accommodate different audiences.
This flexible approach has helped them maintain a loyal following, eager to experience their live shows.
Despite their growing popularity, Ndifon and Neusu face the challenge of garnering support for their music outside of live performances.
They have released their work on streaming platforms such as YouTube and Spotify, but encouraging fans to engage with their recorded music has been a hurdle. This support is crucial for expanding their reach and sustaining their career in the digital age.
Nevertheless, the advantages of their journey far outweigh the challenges.
Their unique sound and compelling performances have earned them a dedicated fan base and acclaim in the Namibian music community.
