Albany, New York is home to a new voice ready to make waves in the music industry—Tan Ellis. With family ties to funk royalty, she’s carrying a powerful legacy while carving her own lane. Her uncles, Kevin and Glen Goins, once played alongside George Clinton in Parliament, so music has always been in her DNA.
Growing up, Ellis was immersed in a strict musical household where the rule was simple: sing in key, or don’t sing at all. That discipline shaped her into not only a strong songwriter but also a commanding cover artist whose performances captivate audiences.
Currently, Tan is signed to Y Not U$ Records, the label run by her husband and manager, Albany Lou. Together, the two have already created standout records, including “RollTide,” a collaboration showcasing their chemistry. She has also been featured on high-profile tracks like “No Snitch Code” (Albany Lou x Crip Mac x Mud Babies) and its star-studded remix with Uncle Murda.
With a voice that recalls the soulful depth of Billie Holiday, the smoky edge of Amy Winehouse, and the effortless emotion of Lauryn Hill, Tan Ellis is quickly establishing herself as a force to watch. Her music blends authenticity, heritage, and undeniable talent, making her one of the most exciting new artists coming out of New York.
Keep your ears open—Tan Ellis is only getting started.
