Local teenager releases new single plus music video Elle Brightly takes latest step toward stardom
everything that has happened since.
By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – Get ready to hit play and listen as Seguin’s next big star comes to life with her new hit music single “Figure It Out.” It has been a year and half since Ellery Twitero, a.k.a. Elle Brightly, has been traveling on this road toward stardom. Tonight, Brightly’s newest single drops on all music download and streaming platforms. Her mother Angela Twitero says at the start of it all, her daughter had no previous experience just the passion to pursue a career in music. It was then that her daughter relied on that passion to successfully get through a series of online and in-studio auditions to land herself a spot with an all youth music group being coordinated by an England talent company.

"The beauty of all of that was, that first song and video got her a lot of attention. The Voice, the producers from The Voice called and wanted her to come audition for The Voice. They let her skip the prelim audition stuff and brought her straight in the studio in Los Angeles. She auditioned and the judges took time with her and ended up telling her that 13 was just too young at that point they felt and so they wanted her to possibly come back if that was something she wanted to do but getting something like that straight out of the gate was really amazing and then this producer that she is working with now. His name is Alex Cantrall and he does the music producing for Disney and Nickelodeon and a lot of those shows but his daughter is Kylie Cantrall and she's one of the new Disney stars and Alex brought her in to kind of do this test single and see how it goes. I think that he's hoping that he is going to be able to launch this song into some type of placement in television or movie or TV series but also that it will gain her attention for management so that's kind of where we are now," said Twitero.
