Stunner Baby Magazine is proud to shine the music spotlight on a rising star in the R&B community named Elle Varner.  Elle’s “Only Wanna Give It to You” single is burning up the charts by registering an impressive number 20 on the US Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart.She was raised in Los Angeles, California by her mother and father who both happen to be songwriters and publishers. Elle Varner, spent most of her childhood sleeping on studio couches, running around green rooms, and watching her parents struggle to make a name in the industry. With music running through her veins, Elle was singing as soon as she could speak, playing the at 6 and the piano at 9. But it wasn’t until attending AGC (Amazing Grace Conservatory) that her ear for harmony, melody and complex rhythm truly developed.  At age 16, Elle picked up the guitar for the first time. Elle was frustrated that she wasn’t instantly as good as Hendrix, she dropped the guitar and became a part of The Hamilton Academy of Music’s Vocal Jazz Group.

Once there, she learned about the complexity of the voice, jazz music and talented jazz artists like Ella Fitzgerald. Elle was surprised to discover that she had been chosen to be a part of The Grammy in the Schools Mentoring Program. Through this program she was taken weekly to the Fox Studio, where she met with mentor Kelly Burgos, and President of Fox Music, Robert Kraft. Soon after, Elle hesitantly applied to NYU with her C average and was surprisingly accepted. Not only did she get in but also she was but also she was admitted into the second class of the Clive Davis Program of Recorded Music. Upon  graduating, she was awarded “most likely to get signed” and “most likely to win a Grammy.”

In October 2009 she signed with MBK/J-RCA Records along with a co-publishing agreement with Sony Music. Her debut single “Only Wanna Give It to You” features J. Cole and was released August 16, 2011. The song serves as the lead single off her upcoming album Perfectly Imperfect. In May 2011, Elle appeared as a cover model on Lip Gloss Teen Magazine. On October 7, 2011, RCA Music Group announced it was disbanding J Records along with Arista Records and Jive Records. With the shutdown, Elle (and all other artists previously signed to these three labels) will release future material through the RCA Records brand. Some of Elle’s inspirations are Prince, Sade, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, and Michael Jackson.
