Musical Roots 

Born in Dayton, Ohio, Elisa began performing R&B as a teenager in her brother’s band, touring regional festivals and riverboats. Her early immersion in diverse genres shaped her multilingual artistry — she now performs fluently in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

As a bandleader, Elisa manages the logistics of bookings, hiring musicians, theme selection and payroll. Her live performances have graced iconic venues such as The House of Blues, La Ve Lee, Lunaria’s, Monsoon Café, and San Gennaro, Beverly Hills Hotel concert series, and more. During her six-year residence in Maui, Elisa held a four-year residency at the Grand Wailea Hotel Resort & Spa, and performed at prestigious island events, weddings, and charity galas including the Taste of South Wailea, Maui AIDS Foundation, Arthritis Foundation, and Epilepsy Foundation each year. Elisa remains deeply committed to performing for charities to uplift communities and inspire listeners to enjoy every moment.
