I’m Ellisa — a Nashville-based vocal coach, singer-songwriter, yoga instructor, and professional musician. With 10+ years teaching voice, I want to help you build confidence, improve technique, and find authentic expression through singing, songwriting, and performance.

I hold a B.A. in Cultural Anthropology and Education from UC Santa Cruz. I trained with Whitney Nichole Cytryn at Songbird Studios (2013), learning contemporary, health-focused vocal methods and mind/body techniques. I became a certified yoga instructor in 2015 and use yoga’s breathing and body awareness in my teaching.

As a soul/jazz artist, I toured nationwide in 2018 (170 shows in an RV) and have had music placed in TV and film. I’ve played venues like the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco and The Listening Room in Nashville.

Whether you’re new to lessons or returning after a break, I’ll help you connect with your voice!
