Elle Varner Biography

One of the most promising R&B artists to emerge during the early 2010s singer and songwriter Elle Varner grew up in a musical family -- one that spent much of its time together in recording studios. Both of Varner's parents were music industry veterans. Mikelyn Roderick her mother was a backup vocalist for Barry White and has written and recorded with Tevin Campbell and Rahsaan Patterson; she also released an album on the Dome label in 2007. Varner's father Jimmy Varner was a songwriter producer and multi-instrumentalist; he has collaborated with Gerald Alston Kool & the Gang and Will Downing.
As a child Elle Varner accompanied her parents to sessions learned the ins and outs of recording and would be asked for feedback on her parents' material. Signed to the J label -- home to inspirations and contemporaries like Monica Alicia Keys Marsha Ambrosius and Jazmine Sullivan -- Varner while in her early twenties debuted in August 2011 with Only Wanna Give It to You featuring J. Cole. The single peaked at number 20 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart. Due to label restructuring the J label was eliminated; Varner shifted to the RCA roster before year's end. The lyrically and sonically distinctive Refill hit the chart in March 2012 and within a few weeks had nearly topped the debut. A free mixtape Conversational Lush (its title taken from Refill) was issued prior to Varner's proper debut album August 2012's Perfectly Imperfect.
