Bella Cole’s artistic journey began on stage, majoring in theatre at a performing arts high school, where she first discovered the transformative power of performance and human connection. That spark soon grew into a fascination with sound itself, leading her to study Audio Engineering at Trebas in Toronto. Today, Bella unites both passions—storytelling and sound—crafting music that resonates deeply whether she’s behind the mic in the studio or captivating a crowd at venues like the El Mocambo.
Emerging from Toronto’s vibrant music scene, Bella is quickly making her mark with a sound that fuses classic soul, funk, and pop. Her music nods to icons like Amy Winehouse while embracing the atmospheric edge of artists such as Billie Eilish—balancing timeless depth with a distinctly modern feel.
