A poet at heart, Anna Elyse is a singer/songwriter/producer who draws inspiration from prolific songwriters like Neil Young and looks to modernize her sound with influences from producers like No ID, Mike Dean, and Illangelo.
"I always found solace in music, especially when I connected to the stories. And I hope to provide that for someone else."
After graduating from UCLA, with a concentration in Creative Writing, Poetry, she went on to Audio Engineering School and found that one of her very favorite places to be were in the studio. She was used to spending many hours in the dance studio growing up, and stepping into the recording studio was like slipping into an immersive world she knew she fit.
She worked behind the scenes in recording studios and serendipitously ended up on a few prominent hip-hop albums. But, it wasn't until a couple of years ago that she decided to let go of her reservations and release her own music. Her self-produced and mixed debut single, "Trading Glances" landed her on several upcoming folk-pop playlists.
