Bio
You step off the busy street into a cosy dim-lit jazz club, only to find Australian Pop Songstress Elisa Kate captivating hearts with her powerful piano-based melodies and sneaky soul edge. But it’s that deep smoky voice with something to say that’s had you from the get go, and you’re not the only one.
Having been told she couldn't sing, Elisa was surprised when Sony’s Paul Dickson, the man who discovered Powderfinger, took a shine to her Debut Album ‘Treasure’ in 2009, deeming it “real talent”. Inspired by American Pop Rock outfit Switchfoot, at 13 Elisa had secretly begun writing uplifting songs of her own, keeping them hidden until years later when required to record a song for a Uni assignment.
From one song to a Debut Album, in no time Elisa Kate's dream was being realised, her sound turning heads winning multiple awards and having hit 'Any Smarter' chosen to feature at MUSEXPO in Hollywood 2011.
Elisa began working with an agent and performing at venues like Lizottes, Cambridge Hotel and Manly Boatshed, before wowing fans with a sold-out second album launch late 2011. 'Holding On To You' soon gained award winning status in the 2012 Australian Songwriting Contest, with a single featured on a Channel Ten TV Ad and strong airplay continued today on Newcastle Radio. Now it's Kate's much-anticipated third EP, a fiery soul-vibed surprise we're all excited for, due this December.
From performing to over 30,000 people in support of Kamahl, to recently touring (2013) with Australian legend Rick Price, Elisa connects deeply with any audience, performing weekly in Newcastle, Sydney and the Mid-Coast Region. With fans already in the US, catch Elisa before she heads there for her first overseas tour in March 2014. A down to earth farm girl who loves writing music to warm your heart, check out the debut music video, "Holding On To You" and you'll be hooked. For more info head to www.elisakate.com.
