Elly is Chinese-German, born and raised in Hamburg, Germany. After completing her German school education, she moved to Scotland to pursue her undergraduate degree at the University of St Andrews. Elly started posting cover songs online at the age of 16 and has since amassed an audience of more than half a million across various platforms with diverse video content, including multilingual cover songs. Beyond music, Elly has extended her influence to address xenophobia and Asian hate crimes, especially during the Covid pandemic.

In this 7th episode, Elly and I discussed her upbringing as an Asian-German in Hamburg, her success in amassing millions of views on TikTok, and the impact of being a content creator on her university life.
