Elle Cordova Biography

Elle Cordova is an American singer-songwriter, writer, and digital content creator based in Los Angeles. Her work spans folk rock music, comedy sketches, rhyming spoken-word poetry, and short-form videos that explore literature, space, technology, and nerd culture. Cordova began her career as a musician by posting original and cover songs on YouTube while in college. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature from the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities and worked as an editorial assistant for University of Minnesota Press, establishing a foundation in language and storytelling that informs her creative output.

Cordova initially built her audience under the stage name Reina del Cid, releasing five full-length studio albums with creative partner and lead guitarist Toni Lindgren: "blueprints, plans" (credited to Reina del Cid & the Cidizens), "The Cooling," "Rerun City," "Morse Code," and "Candy Apple Red." Songs from "The Cooling" were featured on NPR and Paste, which highlighted the single "Death Cap" and its music video filmed in Iceland. She also launched the "Sunday Mornings with Reina del Cid" video series, featuring weekly acoustic renditions of folk originals and covers that amassed over 24 million views on YouTube. Cordova and Lindgren ran their own independent record label and toured internationally, building a fanbase through live performances and a consistent digital presence.

Cordova later began releasing material under her own name to reflect a more personal approach to songwriting and poetry. As a self-described English major with an interest in science fiction TV shows, she has produced poems, skits, and songs about science, space, sci-fi, and literary themes, some set to hip-hop beats. She is recognized as a digital content creator and writer of viral comedy sketches, rhyming spoken-word poetry, and other short-form videos, with a following of over two million people across social media platforms.

Cordova appeared at TED in Vancouver, presenting "Poetry and music that reaches across the digital void," where she performed her original song "Carl Sagan" and discussed social media and human connection. She shared a poem about the Big Bang and, joined by Lindgren, performed "Carl Sagan," a song about the endless scroll of social media and the desire to connect. Her YouTube channel has approximately 670,000 subscribers, with more than 350 videos and over 187 million combined views, while her Instagram account has over 1.2 million followers.

Cordova continues to explore themes of science fiction, artificial intelligence, and extraterrestrial concepts in her music, with an album of "curiosity songs" planned for self-release on her independent label. She and Lindgren also launched the video series "Full Moon Tunes," posting a new cover every full moon. Through her work in folk rock, digital content creation, and science-inspired songwriting, Cordova demonstrates a multidisciplinary approach to music, poetry, and storytelling.
