One of her earliest musical memories involves humming along to her aunt's tunes during family gatherings, fostering a lifelong love for creating heartfelt melodies. Growing up on SXM, surrounded by beautiful beaches, lively festivals, and a multicultural soundscape, she honed her craft in local open mics and community events. The island's rich musical heritage, from soca rhythms to reggae vibes, subtly infuses her work, giving it an authentic, tropical warmth.

Elona burst onto the scene in the early 2010s, collaborating with regional producers and fellow Caribbean talents. In 2025 she reached a major milestone with the release of her highly anticipated EP The Vulnerable Hour on June 27, 2025.
