In the seventy-eighth episode of the Hidden Driveway Show I had the honor of interviewing elliebell, a rapper and producer from Virginia! While I initially became familiar with her work in 2023 through her indietronica music, she has since taken those influences and infused them with hip hop, creating a cozy fun sound that I keep coming back to. I hope you enjoy!ELLIEBELL'S SOCIALShttps://x.com/ellie1bellhttps://www.instagram.com/01elliebell/https://soundcloud.com/1ellieHIDDEN DRIVEWAY SOCIALShttps://twitter.com/hiddendriveway_https://www.instagram.com/hiddendriveway_/Listen to Hidden Driveway on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3hSJP0juKCmJYHYmHVzS00?si=e4602b80dda54cf1Curated Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/07YUuoKvKv9J97PEyCDPTp?si=f0dbc4ded45a4586Curated SoundCloud Playlist: https://soundcloud.com/aamufr/sets/hidden-drivewayAAMU'S SOCIALShttps://twitter.com/aamufrhttps://www.instagram.com/aamufr/https://soundcloud.com/aamufrSHOUTOUT TO RESTLESS TOO FOR MAKING THE THUMBNAILhttps://x.com/restlessbaghttps://www.instagram.com/restlesslp/https://soundcloud.com/prodrestlessIntroduction - 0:00Dark Souls - 0:33Enjoying the recent snowy weather - 3:09Learning to be more comfortable with her music as her style has shifted - 5:17Putting work on her 2nd album on pause - 11:39How aamu learned about elliebell - 14:21How elliebell got into making music, and her influences - 21:17Appreciating SoundCloud for the community but not as a platform - 33:51elliebell’s writing influences - 37:22Her music feeling like its more “outside” now - 45:00Having friends in the scene who go to her college - 46:51Disliking the broader underground rap / online music community - 54:50Comforting routines that she has - 1:10:33Using movie samples in her songs - 1:16:42Things elliebell has been obsessed with - 1:18:07The process for working on Warfare - 1:25:24Things she likes to do to bond with others - 1:42:48Intense game of rock paper scissors - 1:49:25Being from New York originally - 1:52:05Things elliebell has forgotten - 1:53:51Her thoughts on being grouped into the “folk plugg” scene - 2:02:43Artists she wants to work with now that she’s collaborating more - 2:07:58What’s next for elliebell? - 2:14:13Shoutouts - 2:17:00Outro - 2:18:29definitely one of my favorite interviews ive gotten to do, nora is so lovely to talk to and her music is too :]#elliebell #hidden #driveway #show #underground #artist #interview #aamu #music #chapters226 #sentry #iv #feardorian #warfare #evergreen #moth #epiphanies #virginia #newyork #richmond #pencil #legs
