“I didn’t initially think of it as an empowering song, but that’s definitely how I felt performing it,” says Toronto’s own Bella Cole. “I hope anyone listening feels that same confidence and energy.” From the first note of “Got Your Number,” Bella captures that feeling of knowing exactly who you are and refusing to settle for less.
Bella Cole started out on stage, majoring in theatre at a performing arts high school where she fell in love with the power of performance and connection. That love evolved into a deeper curiosity about sound itself, leading her to study Audio Engineering at Trebas Institute in Toronto. Now, she brings both worlds together by blending storytelling and sound in everything she creates.
Emerging from Toronto’s vibrant music scene, Bella fuses classic soul, funk, and pop into a sound that’s both nostalgic and now. Inspired by artists like Amy Winehouse and Billie Eilish, she’s creating her own lane with songs that feel timeless but alive with modern attitude. Whether performing at iconic venues like El Mocambo or writing late into the night, Bella is always chasing the real, moments that connect and resonate.
Her new single “Got Your Number”- over 50,000 YouTube views in just 3 weeks – showcases that spirit with sharp wit and unapologetic swagger. “Every time you wanna come around, there’s one thing on your mind,” she sings, before flipping the script with the infectious hook, “It’s a game, I’ll make the rules, and you should know, that I’ve got your number!”
The song is playful and fearless, layered with smooth retro grooves and bold vocals that burst with confidence. “You hit me up, you’re playing the fool, cast a spell, I’m not going under,” Bella belts, turning a classic story of flirtation into a celebration of self-worth. It’s a track built to soundtrack every late-night dance party and mirror singalong.

“Got Your Number” represents everything Bella stands for, energy, empowerment, and authenticity. Her lyrics, full of charisma and personality, reveal a young artist who knows her voice and isn’t afraid to use it. Each verse feels like a wink and a nod to every listener who’s ever taken back their power.
Bella’s rise has been fueled by both talent and vision. Having studied sound design and engineering, she knows her way around every layer of a track, shaping her music from the ground up. Performances at Toronto landmarks have built her reputation as one of the city’s most engaging new voices.
With every release, Bella continues to connect with fans looking for music that’s as confident as it is fun. Her storytelling, rich with emotion and humor, has already caught the attention of the local scene and beyond.
Looking ahead, Bella is focused on creating songs that bring people together. “This project has been pure joy,” she says. “I’m so excited to finally share it and see people sing and dance along.”
