Żaren Ellul Ta' Fellusu.

is an improvised verse folk singer from Żebbuġ, Malta. He was born on the 7th February 1954 to Żaru L-Koppi and Karmena Ta' Fellusa.

Although his father is from Kirkop, Żaren was born and bred in Żebbuġ and has taken his maternal nickname. His day time occupation is that of a stonemason, a bennej in Maltese which stresses that he is not a bricklayer.

Born in a family of nine boys and two girls, he has another brother Żeppi Ellul Ta' Fellusu, known also as Żeppi Iż-Żebbuġi who folk sings. His mother Karmena folk sang il-għana tal-banju and left an impression on young Żaren, as did his older brother by nine years Żeppi. At fifteen he made his introduction to the world of folk singing by pairing with Duminku Scriha Qerrieda, from Żebbuġ

He folk sang with Jesmond Galea Tal-Kalora
