Introducing Ella Tiritiello.
 

A year after being selected by the Tim Bergling Foundation to sing, perform and re-release Avicii's 2015 hit For A Better Day alongside the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, this 15-year-old is making waves worldwide.
 

The Tim Bergling Foundation was founded by Anki Lidén and Klas Bergling, Avicii's parents, after the musician died by suicide in 2018.
 

Tiritiello, who suffers from stage fright, sang the song in front of 16 000 people in what was her first-ever live performance at the renaming ceremony of the Avicii Arena in Stockholm in 2021. Later that year, at an Avicii tribute concert, she performed the song live for a second time, in a duet with Swedish singer Zara Larsson.
 

With both performances reaching millions of people worldwide, the stage was set for the singer from a small town in the south of Sweden with a big voice and artistic dreams.
 

Following the release of her first single, Say Something, Channel24 caught up with the Swedish singing sensation to get to know her a little better.
 

From revealing her music icons to what she would be doing if she wasn't a singer and how she overcame her stage fright – get to know Ella Tiritiello here.

REVIEW

"Jewel had good intentions, but the filmmakers fell victim to their own vision, losing the film's voice in the process. A coherent, well-placed and justified message can make any audience forgive shaky production, but here there are no solid straws to grasp for, and it will soon be forgotten in the churn of streaming content."
