"Secret Lives of Women" celebrates six of history’s most famous and infamous femme fatales: Princess Diana * Mata Hari * Cleopatra * Anne Boleyn * Sappho * Sarah Bernhardt.

Ella Leya has toured with her Jazz orchestra SELAH across Europe and the United States.

Her songs have appeared in a variety of movies and TV shows, such as Ocean's Twelve, PU-239, My Sassy Girl, Dirty Sexy Money, Samantha Who.
