Meet Ellen Alexander, a Russian model/singer set in the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. She has been travelling since the age of 14 years old, realizing her dream of success Stateside. Now seeing the US as her home, she travels the world for her career, notably having worked in the US and the UK. It has been all go since her arrival, but now she has another project in sight. Because why stop at just one goal?
She started off her early days of modelling being her father’s muse, the scientist and avid photographer took photos of his daughter, which helped kick start her modelling career. She went on to doing national commercial shoots or on television. Nowadays, she’s travelling all over for all sorts of shoots – her favorite being editorial campaigns for fashion publications. You may have seen her on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam, FHM, Playboy and Maxim Belgium and France but to name a few! Despite the long hours and loneliness from travelling, Ellen is more motivated than ever about her present and future projects.
She has had a successful career in television, having featured in many TV series such as Law of the Lawless, Poor Anastasia, White Famous, A Mother’s Sacrifice and My Husband’s Deadly Past. She has also turned her hand to producing, having produced and starred in The100Jokes, showing her versatility within the entertainment industry.
Her parents are prestigious second generation of scientists back in Russia, and she strived to be different from them. Her grandfather was even a significant figure within the Russian space industry. Despite that history, she was proud to make her own way in life.
After an economics degree that her parents wished her to do, she soon realized that her real wish was to work in the entertainment industry. Although modelling didn’t necessarily impact negatively her self-image, she is very careful to stay down to Earth and natural. She is determined to stay grounded, something so important in a busy industry. In fact, despite all the fashion campaigns she has shot for, she’s most relaxed in comfortable and casual clothing – you won’t see her dressed up just to head to the shops!
Ellen’s enthusiasm for the entertainment industry shines through, and her approach to her work life is refreshing. She is determined to have fun, love what she does, and to no longer dedicate time to projects that aren’t for her. We have all spent too much time worrying, or working on things that don’t deserve an ounce of our dedication – Ellen realized this very early on in her adult life and it has since become her mantra.
Next on her to-do list? Music. At a very early age, her passion for music begun, singing in a choir in Russia and writing poetry. Today, she is slowly but surely releasing her own music. She is also a talented songwriter and producer, writing all of her own songs and creating remixes. Although she still wants to continue her modelling career, she wants to show her versatility. Her sound? A genre to match each mood – EDM, ballads, tropical house… you’ll soon find a firm favorite amongst her track list.
Keep your eyes pealed for this lady, she means business! And her music won’t leave your playlists!
