Armed with her unique blend of country & rock, Ella Langley grabs her audience from the first lick. Raised in Alabama, she has opened for legends like Montgomery Gentry, David Lee Murphy, Jamey Johnson & rising stars Riley Green, Parker McCollum & Lainey Wilson. 

With assertive timing, Ella took her unapologetic authenticity to Nashville & locked in her first publishing deal with Sony Music Publishing Nashville in 2021. Since relocating, Ella has hit the road with Randy Houser, Koe Wetzel & Jamey Johnson. Her breakup anthem “If You Have To” has quickly grown her following & her second single, “Damn You” showcases all the confident energy Ella has to offer to country music fans. 

While paving the road for her touring career, Ella has hit her stride in songwriting. Elle King's latest single, "Out Yonder", co-written with Matt McKinney and Bobby Hamrick, has earned Ella her first label cut. Then with her newest track, "Hey Ma I Made It", fans will discover the tender side to her lyrics with her family relationships.

Discover the groundbreaking influence of Anike, formerly known as Wande, a pioneer in Christian music and the first Christian female rapper with major commercial success. Formerly known as Wande, she has embraced a new chapter, dedicating her life to glorifying Yahweh and letting go of her birth names "Mutiat" and "Yewande" that reflected Muslim practices & African spirituality roots.

Anike, the first female Christian rapper to tour with icons like Lecrae and collaborate with artists like TobyMac, has a unique blend of hip-hop, R&B, and pop. She was the first female artist signed to Reach Records and has been featured on GRAMMY-nominated projects and Billboard's #1 album "The Mav Way." Influential figures like Michelle Obama and Kirk Franklin have recognized her contributions on their playlists as well.

Anike's versatility extends to appearances in ESPN and Apple commercials, performances at the Essence Festival, and hosting "Girl Talk" on TBNx, focusing on women's spiritual empowerment. Her engaging comedic content and life talks, like "Hallelujah Roll Call," have amassed millions of views. Anike—a visionary with millions of streams on Spotify alone—continuing to shape how Christians engage with culture.

In summer 2024, Anike changed her legal and artist name from Wande, noting "This change is deeply meaningful to me, reflecting a departure from my old legal names, Mutiat and Yewande, which carried meaning not aligned with my faith such as reincarnation, and devotion to other gods. The name Anike means "someone you cherish, care for, love, and don’t take for granted." It serves as a reminder of my inherent worth, cherished by my Creator, and this affirmation is something I wish to echo through my music.”
