David Ell announces himself with his debut album, Wreckingball, a record full of dark, brooding and beautiful acoustic songs. A subtle arrangement of guitar and piano lead melodies reflecting heavily on themes of loss of innocence, faith and love, this is an album by turns powerful and bold then moving and gentle.

“I felt like something was happening to me over a period of time. I was unfulfilled and I needed a creative outlet from every day life” says David. “I taught myself piano when I was growing up. I was never interested in playing other people’s music, I just didn’t see the point, it was more fun making up my own tunes. Somehow it never occurred to me do anything about it.

“But I began to think about what I would feel like at the end of my days if I looked back on my life to this point. Whether I had achieved what I wanted. Instinctively I knew I hadn’t and I needed to do something about it. I just felt it was something I needed to do. So I bought a cheap guitar and started writing songs – they seemed to come naturally.

“Now I feel that Wreckingball is only the beginning of what I want to do. It’s all in my head – it just needs to come out……”
