As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of millennial angst and English Literature graduate, ettie possesses a unique talent for crafting storytelling through words and concepts embedded in our society.
In her latest single, “Miserable Life,” ettie delivers a therapeutic anthem for those who have experienced someone taking steps to make their lives miserable. The song provides a space for listeners who have maintained their composure and manners in the face of adversity to let go and vent, if only for three minutes, and wish that person the same treatment and a dose of karma without judgment.
Drawing inspiration from her pop punk roots, ettie dives deeper into the genre than ever before, channeling the influences of Blink-182 and Avril Lavigne.

“Miserable Life” is an instantly infectious pop punk gem that will undoubtedly captivate fans of Paramore, Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swift and Blink-182. The combination of a laid-back yet driving beat, complemented by crunchy guitar tones, serves as the foundation for ettie’s superb vocals. Her voice soars above the music, delivering defiant lyricism that serves as the soundtrack to a resounding kick back against anyone who has ever wronged you. Memorable, energising and relatable, “Miserable Life” stands as a modern rock anthem with a pop-focused twist, showcasing ettie’s undeniable talent as she continues to reach new heights with each release.
