- Elley describes herself as “melomaniac” – a person with an abnormal fondness of music.

- Elley distinctly remembers growing up near the ocean, eating seafood, and listening to jazz, blues, and classic rock music performed by musicians who came from a nearby town of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States.
- Her dad bought Elley her 1st guitar when she was 14 years old. The very next year, she began to play and sing at coffee shops. Those opportunities helped her get in touch with songwriters from Nashville, Austin, and Los Angeles, which significantly helped her nurture her talent.
- At the age of 17, a bully in high school badgered her so much that she decided to drop out and pursue music. Both of her parents saw she was unhappy and supported her decision.

- Elley often talks in code, sometimes even to herself.
- Zedd created the “most organic sounding song” with his single Happy Now (2018). Besides deciding that Elley’s vocals would be perfect, he also decided to make the majority of music using real instruments, instead of synthetic ones, generated on his computer.
