Ely Oaks, Elle King – „Ex’s & Oh’s“ + Exclusive Interview

Thank you very much for your time! Before we introduce your new release to our readers – what kind of drink would you recommend to sip on while they listen to your new music?

Thank you so much for having me! Honestly, this will be kind of an unexpected answer, but get yourself some electrolyte water because you’re going to need it if you start shaking and sweating haha

Please give us an update about your recent and forthcoming releases. In October you released a remix for James Hype and a collaboration with Elle King on the remake of her „Ex’s & Oh’s.“ What the rest of 2025 holds for you?

This year was so full blast, that I will take it easy during December. I think that’s the month where everything winds down a bit and Xmas music is the main thing for everyone.

We live in times of many conspiracy theories. Which, harmless, theory would you wish were true? (For example Dinos living inside Earth or E.T. living in a home in California)

A very interesting question I never got before haha. I’m not into conspiracy theories so i can’t tell you which ones exactly but I’d love to believe that there is “alien” populated planet somewhere close to our solar system.

What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?

Oversized sweat pants and cropped top!

Tell us more about your songs! Do they have a universal topic or a message that you focus on when producing?

I think most of time it is a mix between underground vibes (i take a lot of inspiration from my city of choice, Berlin) and guilty pleasure pop songs, i absolutely love that combination. Screaming your heart out while going all crazy on the floor.

Beside music, do you have any special talents?

I wish I had some, but I was always quite bad at sports and stuff like this, I’m also a horrible painter. I used to be good at cooking, but since i moved to a big city and focusing so much on the music the delivery services took over for me.

Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist.

Coconut water is my favorite drink before a show

I answer all of my DMs myself (even tho sometimes i can’t answer them all) (+ all my posts are done by myself aswell)

I love taking fotos with everyone who asks me

I decided to become an artist because nothing else can give me the same emotions as music does, impossible

I’ve been fully sober since 2 years

The road so far…. who or what was your biggest support?

I’d need to name a few, definitely being raised in a very supportive environment, like my parents, but definitely some key figures over the past 3 years and also the big disappointments, because those kept me motivated to push even more.

A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls

Nobody ever asked me in an interview what my favorite animal is 🙁 And I love Penguins, but I also want to see Koalas and Quokkas very soon.
