From the moment she steps on stage, Ellisa’s presence is electric—so much so that she jokes about never wearing white, leaving her heart and soul on the stage for every audience to witness.
Ellisa’s artistry is steeped in rich influences, pulling from the raw soul of Amy Winehouse, the poetic brilliance of Joni Mitchell, and the jazz elegance of João Gilberto. Her sound is a kaleidoscope of R&B, soul, jazz, and bossa nova, tied together with her distinct voice and intimate lyrics. Over the years, her music has found a home on screens big and small, from Sony Pictures Television’s L.A.’s Finest to the CW’s Kung Fu.
