I'm Elyssa, a singer songwriter from Italy, currently living in New Zealand after spending a decade in Scotland. My music explores themes of life's struggles, hope, and transformation. Right now I am writing art rock power ballads with my wonderful newly formed Wellington band :Justin Kim on guitar, Arianna Ceron on piano, Devyn Fowles on violin, Cathal Lennon on drums . Side projects I am involved with include Neo-folk, Indie-rock, Americana and comedy songs. My older albums, released under the names "The Moon Whispers" and "Mjuk," have a more Gothic and experimental feel.
Drawing inspiration from the Celtic Folk traditions of Ireland and Scotland to the iconic Italian singer-songwriters of the 1970s—my music ranges from somber to comedic. Some of my influences include Amanda Palmer, The Pretenders, Martha Wainwright, as well as In the Nursery and Eraas.
