About Elissa
From the click of train doors to the blink of car indicators, everyday rhythms become her orchestra- music isn’t just something she creates- it’s the lens through which she experiences the world.
Born and raised in Melbourne, Elissa has a music career that spans over three decades. Music wove through every corner of her life- whether curled up in the lounge listening to Stevie Wonder vinyls, or scribbling lyrics to film scores in her teenage notebooks.
A deep connection to faith stirred in her from a young age, drawing her into church communities where she discovered the power of singing together- experiencing breath and heartbeats aligning in a single, unified sound.
Elissa went on to receive her Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Education at Monash University, studying vocals in both classical and jazz genre.
These combined experiences opened her to creative expressions of painting and vocal coaching which continue to weave through and deepen her artistry.
Her influences stretch from gospel roots to the vocal artistry of Mariah Carey, rich choral harmonies of Boyz II Men, jazz great Ella Fitzgerald and the timeless pop of Michael Jackson. This blend shaped Elissa’s distinct musical language- emotionally honest, melodically rich, and marked by a love of beauty and connection.
Elissa’s previous experience has been performing to large crowds in Central America, Philippines and Mexico, whilst working with singers and creatives to develop their musicality and leadership. She has shared the stage with Marina Prior at Wyndham Carols and produced an original musical alongside Deborah Byrne.
Her series of shows celebrating the music of Sara Barellies have captured audiences at the Paris Cat in Melbourne, with a few of her own songs weaving through each show.
“My music and art is about openness, honesty, and holding space for layered meaning- a reflection of the life I’ve lived and the heart I bring to my work.”
Elissa is an accredited Mental Health First Aider and Vocal Health First Aider.

“Elissa has been such an amazing vocal coach. She is very supportive, non-judgemental, and gives amazing advice and techniques to help me reach my goals! I have loved working with her this semester. I have seen improvement in my own voice and have learnt so many new things about myself and singing. Considering how nerve wracking this process can be, Elissa has been so great at making me feel comfortable and confident. I absolutely recommend her as a vocal coach.”

“Singing lessons with Elissa is incredibly rewarding because of her kind and encouraging coaching. I've never felt uncomfortable because Elissa guards and provides a safe space. I am always so impressed with the extent of knowledge, vocal experience and dedication to me and so many other students. Ten weeks of vocal coaching has really launched my confidence in singing. Elissa works along side you to meet your singing goals and we always have a good time laughing during my lessons too! I would highly recommend Elissa to anyone who is considering vocal lessons!”
