Ella Bric
Ella Bric, formerly known as Linda Briceño, is increasingly recognized in the artistic scene across the continent, especially after winning the “Producer of the Year” award at the 2018 Latin Grammy Awards—the first woman to achieve this honor. Originally from Venezuela, Ella’s professional background in music stems from El Sistema de Orquestas and her self-taught exploration of composition and music production.
Ella’s career spans her role as a trumpeter, soloist, and cultural leader, earning her recognition as a Young World Leader by the World Economic Forum’s 2011 “Global Shapers” program. Over the years, she has collaborated with luminaries such as Wynton Marsalis and Arturo Sandoval before transitioning into composing, arranging, and producing music. Her work reflects her personal journey as a woman in music and addresses contemporary societal issues through her art.
Ella has received multiple accolades, including the 2019 Grammy Award for producing “Balance” by Gustavo Casenave, and she was a finalist in the prestigious Rolex Mentor-Protégé program, where she exchanged ideas with Lin-Manuel Miranda.
Additionally, Ella received the Musa Award Elena Casals as a Revelation Artist and was part of Karol G’s “Mañana Será Bonito” tour, solidifying her presence in the international music scene. With a conceptual album underway, Ella Bric continues to break the boundaries of contemporary music.
