Star of stage and screen, Ella Simone Tabu is a triple threat - acting, singing, and dancing. She began her acting career at age two alongside Elmo on Sesame Street. Since then, this SAG-AFTRA actress has been featured in a host of productions from television commercials for Toys R' Us and Subaru to television roles on All American (Amina), New Girl (Ro-Ro), and Lost in Space (Young Judy). Most recently she played Monica Fruge in the feature, Survival. Little Mermaid (Seagull/Chorus) and Cats (Grizabella) are among Ella's musical theatre credits. She is also featured in the "Nana" pilot, starring Katey Segal.

Ella steals any room with her captivating eyes and warms the hearts of strangers with her wide cheery smile. When she's not on stage or screen, her nose is tucked in a book. She enjoys reading fantasy and science fiction novels and collecting dolls. Her favorite book is Cinderella is Dead. Ella is also a low-impact gamer, who never lets her high IQ stand in the way of her compassion and empathy. If she weren't an actor, Ella would love to be a fashion stylist. Each of her outfits is carefully curated, and she loves makeup!

Ella was discovered by a casting director at Broadway Casting in Santa Monica while she was waiting for her brother at an audition. She sang for her, told her stories, and even posed for her camera. The casting director strongly suggested that Ella's parents get her an interview with her brother's agent. They did, and the rest is history.

Ella would love to star in both comedic and dramatic feature films and have her own sitcom.
