Ellen Andrea Wang

Ellen Andrea Wang (b. 1986) is a Norwegian bassist, vocalist and composer from Søndre Land. With her genre-crossing musical expression she has distinguished herself as an inventive artist with a unique synthesis of styles — from collaborations with Sting, Manu Katché and Marilyn Mazur, via Spellemann Prize (Norway’s Grammy)-winning GURLS, to her own projects such as Pixel, Ellen Andrea Wang Closeness, and Kontrabassorkesteret (Double Bass Orchestra).
  She holds a masters degree in jazz/improvised music from the Norwegian Academy of Music in Oslo. Wang has received awards from TONO and NOPA for her compositions (Call Me and Be mine) and in 2022 she received the Radka Tonneff Memorial award.
  Wang composed the choral work Magnificat whilst serving as Artist-in-Residence at Molde Jazz Festival 2021. It was premiered together with The Women’s Choral Society of the University of Oslo (Kvindelige Studenters Sangforening — KSS) in Molde Cathedral as the festival’s closing concert.
