Elisa Rose is a singer songwriter, DJ and somatic facilitator. She beckons listeners into her inner landscape with tenderness, warmth and a honey toned voice. Her signature sound follows in the path of her alternative lifestyle, traversing the worlds of folk, soul, devotional and electronic music. The resulting listening experience is one of immersion, where lyricism trail blazes through themes of love, loss and our human journey and is backed by intricately designed, lush instrumental arrangements. A multi-instrumentalist, Elisa utilizes acoustic guitar, keyboard and her voice to craft her sound. To record both her EP, Emergence, and her LP, Breath & Bones, she teamed up with producer and multi-instrumentalist Oliwa~.  Together they forged a sound that is rich with vocal layers, acoustic instrumentation, synthesizers, organic textures and ambient beats.

As a DJ, Elisa loves to take her audiences on a journey with slow builds and ecstatic peaks. She plays grooves from around the world, favoring electronica that draws from the rhythms and songs of Africa and Central and South America. She weaves original compositions into her sets and often concludes her dances with acoustic songs.  

A student of many schools, Elisa’s upbringing and mentality have consistently registered outside the mainstream — from being raised by revolutionary parents on a commune in Ojai California to leading Kirtan and studying Indian classical music on the banks of the Ganges.  A true lover of humanity and an avid seeker of self-knowledge, Elisa's music is imbued with messages of awakening and healing.  She attributes the incantatory quality of her sound to her work with various plant medicine and shamanic traditions of the Americas.  Music is medicine.

The nameless woman in a sea of empty faces. I dance daringly for no human to control. I write to appease my soul. Using written and spoken words to enliven our codex. Using hands and heart to bring joy to the physical form. Using plants to intrigue the taste buds in a wild symphony of meals and baked goods. I am alive. I am human.
