About Ellen Hodges and Omayya Atout's love story

The University of Alabama graduate, Omayya, met Ellen on an online platform. They soon started a band, ended up falling in love with one another and tied the knot. Ellen was a Barista and Atout worked on the railroad in the city; up until they found Songlorious out of their apartment.

The two entrepreneurs grew up with a passion for listening and creating music. They started Songlorious because they knew that music had the power to tell a story as well as convey emotion.

Shark Tank contestants Ellen and Omayya realized that almost everybody has amazing stories for their loved ones, that they could tell through a song.
