Squirrel Flower fight for the sun


For Ella O’Connor Williams, the journey as an artist continues to unfold, and while the road may not have gotten easier, the artistic output has only grown richer. Since first meeting Williams over six years ago, she has established herself as a formidable force in the music scene.

Her career trajectory is marked by significant milestones. She emerged as an established Chicago-based musician, releasing three full albums on Polyvinyl Records. Beyond the studio, Williams has taken a stand, leading an important boycott against one of the industry’s largest music festivals, demonstrating a commitment that extends far beyond the music itself.

As a musician, Williams’ writing has only deepened, her voice has become more dynamic, and her artistic vision continues to expand. Yet, despite this evolution, the core of her artistry remains fiercely intact. She continues to operate as a tenacious songwriter, expertly documenting the spaces and landscapes she traverses, using her music as a powerful conduit to move her spirit in return.
