Bio
"I am a kaleidoscope I see the world in so many colors Mostly rose but I suppose Sometimes there are others" Piano Slamming. Roaring. Growling. Meowing. Artistry. Curiosity. Kindness. Elana Brody is a multi-talented songwriter known for her interactive live performances and her original musical style. From the mountains and wildflower meadows of Virginia, Elana grew up singing folk songs and performing musicals with her sisters in her living room. After 10 years of songwriting, her music now encompasses everything from country to soul to polyrhythmic-jazz, making it "adventurous while still pleasant to listen to." With a voice that hints at everyone from Ella Fitzgerald to Jeff Buckley, and piano playing that is energized with passionate improvisations, Elana's powerful sound prompted prompted George Massenburg, producer for Billy Joel and Earth Wind & Fire, to deem her work "Mind-blowing." ----------------------------------------------------- Her surprise-filled concerts are like experiences at the theater. Blending emotive music, with acapella sing-a-longs, dancing, drumming, strange noises, and spoken word poetry, the crowds are laughing, crying, shouting and stomping along with her. They guaranteed to leave the performance with a story to tell. "My goal is to have audiences leave the concert feeling just as empowered by their own creativity as that of mine. And at the very least, I hope my show will provide adults with an opportunity they rarely get to have: An opportunity in collective creativity; collective weirdness; pure spontaneous energy explored." ---------------------------------------------------- Susan Rogers, engineer for Prince, said "Elana Brody is my favorite genius! At first I heard Kate Bush and Freddy Mercury. Then I heard Ella Fitzgerald, Brian Wilson, Erik Satie, and even Jeff Buckley. And there's one thing all those people have in common." "Brilliant. She's trying to scare everyone else out of the music business!" ..- George Massenburg, producer/engineer for Earth Wind & Fire, James Taylor, Billy Joel "A great talent. I am not the first to see it, and I won't be the last." - Alla Elana Cohen, internationally acclaimed composer and pianist -

I am a sponge. Anything you put near my ear will influence me! Oh me! Oh my!But as an artist, I have been most influenced by those few who work to understand their deepest realities and then express them through their art.
