Big Machine Label Group has announced the signing of 15-year-old singer/songwriter Ella Mae Bowen to the label group’s roster.
“We couldn’t be more excited to have Ella Mae Bowen join our Big Machine family,” says label President and CEO Scott Borchetta. “She blew me away the first time I heard her sing.”
According to BMLG, original music from Bowen will most likely surface sometime in 2012 but the young performer has a remake of Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding Out For A Hero” on the upcoming Footloose soundtrack. Bowen will be assigned to one of the label group’s three imprints in the future.
The South Carolina native has been singing since childhood, and performing onstage since she was seven. She is currently working on debut music for BMLG, and will attend the Nashville premiere of Footloose tomorrow (10/6). She is being managed by Tracy Gershon (Red Light) and Kip Krones.
