Elisha Francesca is rising up and becoming a familiar face for Australian country music as she releases more music. She is already a CMAA Academy Of Country Music graduate and has worked with the likes of Lyn Bowtell, Kevin Bennett, Matt Scullion, Kacey Chambers and the legendary Joy McKean to name a few. Elisha started singing lessons at the age of 17 years with teachers Tania G and Tarryn Stokes (The Voice Australia Winner 2023), then wanted to find a different method of singing through Michael Paynter who taught her much about using different tones and chest voice and eventually branching out to classical opera singer Cosimo Ciccone who expanded Elisha’s vocal range in such a short amount of time. In 2015, Elisha moved to the U.S and started studying at a bible and music college where she was vocally coached by Madison Cunningham (Grammy Award Winner) and Genise Jarman (Matt Redman) along with piano tutorage by Leonard Jarman (Tori Kelly, Israel Houghton) and Danny Mills (Charlie Puth, James Marsden), drums by Spencer Kim (The Eagle and Child) and Paul Mabury (Lauren Daigle) and finally bringing Elisha to where she is today with guitar and song writing under the mentorship of Scott Cunningham, Danny Donnelly and Sherri Youngward. 2015-2018 saw the multi-instrumentalist travelling, studying and performing in the USA where she found herself surrounded by all kinds of music and songwriters. Highlights included performing at B.B Kings Blues Club in Memphis, jazz club Bamboulas in New Orleans and leading Christian churches and conferences across California in a time of praise and worship through music. By the time she’d reached Nashville, Elisha had fallen in love with country music and knew she’d one day be releasing her own songs in the genre infused with blues and gospel. Upon returning to Australia, Elisha applied for and was accepted into the CMAA Academy of Country Music which saw a line-up of shows and festivals throughout the year, however, a now all too familiar tale of 2020 cancelled all of Elisha’s live shows. This led the Melbourne singer-songwriter to EoR Studios and producer Damian Cafarella (Lachlan Bryan & The Wildes, Kasey Chambers) where she recorded her debut single "Home", debut EP "Thoughts & Feelings", "Wild Horses (Two Beautiful Souls)", "Don’t Take it to Heart" and "Hope". Her latest release, "My Rock ft. Ben Harris" was Elisha's first ever recorded song that has been hidden for over a decade, but is now officially released. There is a clear separation in music genre from her previous releases.
