Singer-songwriter Elena Coats' story begins in the sleepy town of Twin Falls, Idaho. Despite being born into a family-run business far from the realm of entertainment, music was an integral part of the Coats household - something that was 'always a part of our everyday lives.' It therefore comes as no surprise that Elena caught the music bug at an early age. From four years old, Elena was displaying her vocal talents around the family home; and at just six she picked up her first instruments, teaching herself the piano and guitar.
