ELISA’S BIOGRAPHY

Born in Trieste on December 19, 1977, Elisa grew up in the town of Monfalcone, in the Gorizia province.
At the age of sixteen, one of Elisa’s demos found its way to Caterina Caselli. Charmed by the girl’s voice and the emotions it evoked, Caterina decided to fly her to the States to record her debut album Pipes & Flowers, which was released in 1997. The album, produced by Corrado Rustici, was a critical and commercial success and the recipient of several prestigious awards, such as the the PIM and the “Premio Tenco” for Best Debut.

The year 2000 saw the release of the follow-up Asile’s World, produced by an eclectic team including Darren Allison, Howie B, Roberto Vernetti, Mauro Malavasi and Leo Z. Asile’s World replaced Pipes & Flowers’s carefree style with a more visceral sound, highlighted by electronic and vocal experimentation.
In 2001, with the help of Zucchero “Sugar” Fornaciari, Elisa wrote her first Italian song Luce(Tramonti A Nord Est). The song was performed with the Solis String Quartet at the 51st Sanremo Festival, where Elisa was awarded first prize.
The singer’s Sanremo triumph was followed by several prestigious accolades, including the Sanremo Premio della Critica, an Italian Music Award and an MTV Europe Music Award.
In the same year Elisa went back to a more simple sound and message with her third album, Then Comes The Sun, once again produced by Corrado Rustici.
In 2002 the singer took part in two memorable events, performing at the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and at the Pavarotti & Friends concert, where she sang a duet with the Maestro himself.

In 2003 Elisa was asked to cover the classic balladAlmeno Tu Nell’Universo, written by Bruno Lauzi and made famous by Mia Martini, for Gabriele Muccino’s powerful drama “Ricordati Di Me”. Elisa’s introspective version was a hit, spending several weeks at the top of Italian radio and sales charts.
In November of the same year Elisa released the self-produced Lotus, a collection of live hits including some previously unreleased material and cover versions featuring a 1970s-inspired sound.
After a 40-plus date theatrical tour, Elisa flew to the states to work with producer Glen Ballard. Their collaboration evolved into Peal Days, Elisa’s fifth album, which was released in 2004.

Between 2004 and 2006 Elisa’s music was featured in a series of successful movie productions: Swan, a new original song, appeared in Luca Guadagnino’s “Melissa P.”, while Teach Me Again, a duet with Tina Turner, became the main theme for the 2005 anthology film “All The Invisible Children”.
The 2006 single Gli Ostacoli Del Cuore, written by Luciano Ligabue, preceded the release ofSoundtrack ’96-’06, a greatest hits collection celebrating the first decade of Elisa’s career. The album included the previously unreleased Eppure Sentire, written by Paolo Buonvino, which served as the main theme for Giovanni Veronesi’s romantic comedy “Manuale D’Amore – Capitoli Successivi”.

In June 2007 Elisa burst onto the U.S. musical scene with the single Dancing, previously included in herThen Comes The Sun album. An eponymous collection was released shortly afterwards exclusively for the American market, and supported by a 16-date tour through October and November of the same year.

On April 21, 2009, Elisa joined 55 of Italy’s most famous musicians in recording Domani, a song benefiting the victims of the devastating Abruzzo earthquake. On June 21 of the same year, Elisa performed with Laura
Pausini, Giorgia, Gianna Nannini and Fiorella Mannoia at the “Amiche Per L’Abruzzo” concert in Milan’s San Siro stadium.
In November 2009 the singer released her sixth album Heart, co-produced by her guitarist partner Andrea Rigonat. The album’s 14 songs included a touching duet with Antony Hegarty and the hit singleTi Vorrei Sollevare, featuring Negramaro’s lead singer Giuliano Sangiorgi. Exactly one year later Elisa released Ivy, an acoustic collection of her greatest successes.

In November 2011 Elisa released Love Is Requited, the main theme for Roberto Faenza’s drama “Un Giorno Questo Dolore Ti Sarà Utile”. The song, written by Andrea Guerra and Michele von Büren, also served as the first single for Elisa’s second American album Steppin’ On Water.

October 15, 2013, was the release date of L’Anima Vola, Elisa’s first full Italian-language album. The new project included a duet with Tiziano Ferro and songs written with Giuliano Sangiorgi and Luciano Ligabue, as well as a new version of Ennio Morricone’s Ancora Qui, featured in the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained”. In 2013 Elisa also wrote a full original score for Giovanni Veronesi’s drama “L’Ultima Ruota Del Carro”, including the song Ecco Che.
