When Ellen is not on campus, she is one-half of Worldwide Groove Corporation, a full-service music production team specializing in music production, string arranging, and remixes.  Though Ellen is one of the few “chick producers” in the music industry, her ability to produce and program her own musical ideas is more than just a novelty.  Ellen has produced and arranged for projects on several major labels as well as working with budding young talent fresh on the music scene.

 

In 2007 Worldwide Groove Corporation released their own CD titled “Chillodesiac Lounge vol. 1: Fever”.   This collection of old jazz standards reinvented into a downtempo electrolounge style was so well received by the downtempo music scene, they had already obtained 10 song licenses and global internet radio airplay before the record was even released.

One a different note, if you were to listen to one of Ellen's big band swing arrangements, you would never guess that she lives in Nashville.  Ellen is such a natural at big band arranging and composing that she was nationally recognized for her talents in the 8th Billboard Song contest jazz category, where her original big band song "Anyway" captured 3rd place. She is equally polished at composing string arrangements, as is evident on Third Day's "Christmas Offerings" album released in 2006 [Essential Records].  And in July of 2004 Ellen's unique production and arranging approach caught the attention of the organizers of the Belluard Bollwerk International festival in Switzerland where they presented and discussed 3 of her works with festival attendees.  Additionally, Ellen made her TV debut in February of 2004 as a professional songwriter for the pilot of CMT’s show “Score”.
