Ellysa's Experience

As a songwriter with over 11 years experience, I write both as an artist and with co-writers for pitch. I work directly with my A&R contacts to write songs for their artists – not only songs that will sell, but songs that will make the artist feel like they wrote it, and that connect with their audience. I am also a multi-instrumentalist and have worked as a session keyboardist and session vocalist. As a producer for the past four years, I have recorded and mixed vocals for independent clients, as well as for songwriting demos, which I also track produce. As an artist, I have toured regionally in the US as well as nationally in the UK. I self-produce all my music and just released my new single “Shattered”. I have a distribution deal with AWAL and will be releasing several more singles with them in 2019.
