As if the struggles of being a modern day musician are not hard enough, so much competition out there, everyone striving to be the next Ed Sheeran, Lady GaGa or One Direction and then there are those that life has thrown just about every obstacle it could.

As Ellen TV did, we heard from Dominic Ellerbee via a personal email, when he sent through his music for us to listen to, it seems as though he has been a bit of a STS fan for awhile which is humbling.

Ellerbee is 19 and lives in Denver, Colorado, a talented musician and songwriter/composer and multi-instrrumentalist born to a single teenage mother, so things have always been tough for him growing up. Dominic tells us he has gone through a lot of hard times in his life, with his father killing himself when he was 12, homeless at 16, and now at 19 he’s lost his job and his family are on the verge of losing their home once more. 

Ellerbee talks of trying to make a better life for himself and his family, but it is so hard...

“We've been struggling for as long as I can remember and I feel like this song and my music is our ticket to a better life.”

Ellerbee was excepted into the Berklee College Of Music and attended the Fall 2015 semester, now with a great new band Stella Nova and new music under his belt he has released his debut studio single Old School Radio, Ellerbee wrote and produced and played all instruments on this single.

With a full album complete with Marvel cinematic inspired graphics at the ready, Dominic is need of assistance to make this next step a reality in musical story telling.
