Career
Elin's musical roots began with her mother Nest Llewelyn Jones, who was the lead vocalist of popular Welsh-folk band Bran. Just as Elin would do 24 years later, Bran became known for winning Cân i Gymru in 1978. Elin also took inspiration from her father's favourite artists who included Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen and her personal favourite Janis Ian. In her teens, Elin wrote her own rock songs, describing herself as "rebellious".
Elin began taking part in local Eisteddfodau from the age of 3 and became a familiar name in National Eisteddfodau thereafter. She later studied criminology at Bangor University.
Cân i Gymru
Elin participated in Cân i Gymru in 2002, the 33rd edition of the competition. She won the competition with the song "Harbwr Diogel" ("Safe Bay") composed by Arfon Wyn - the same composer who wrote the 1979 winning song "Ni welaf yr Haf " ( I won't see the Summer ) for Elin's mother and band Pererin.
