Sandra Oh Inspiration (Montage To Credits) [MULTIGENRE]

Electronic music is only one shade on Elysha Zaide's (better known as the EDM artist ill-esha) palette.  With a lifetime of deep appreciation for classical, world, jazz and anything cinematic, it was natural that the art of scoring would catch her interest.  As a child, she completed Royal Conservatory piano training to a Grade 10 level; sang soprano for a stint in the Vancouver Bach Children’s choir; performed musical stage productions with VYT and Carousel Theatre companies and studied flute in the school band (but did not go to band camp with it).

In 2007, Elysha’s songwriting efforts were recognized when she placed in the top 3 finalists for Best Electronic in the John Lennon International Songwriting Contest.  A year later,  she was granted the Screen Composers Guild of Canada apprenticeship award for Vancouver, which sponsored her training and subsequently led to work with renowed composers Daniel Ingram (Martha Speaks, My Little Pony), Graeme Coleman (BeastMaster) and Brian Carson (Hot Wheels, ChopShop).  After several years of working as assistant music editor on series such as Martha Speaks, Combat School, and The Week the Women Went, Elysha’s electronic music career began to demand her full attention and she relocated to the United States.

Finally after almost three years of madcap touring, the dust has settled a bit and Elysha is thrilled to reopen her studio for new film, commercial and multimedia projects.  Below are highlights of her diverse composition range.  Feel free to contact her with your project for review!
