"Elissa Mielke is a young singer and piano player who is taking the Hamilton music scene by storm. Her beautiful voice has a depth beyond her years that stands in contrast with her fresh and innocent stage presence." -frwy

I Love Jesus. I wholeheartedly believe in God. He is love & grace, my purpose and the reason that I am. I am one hundred percent lame without him. I owe everything to him. I mean that and I do my best live by it.
I think all of these are worth a listen, or twelve listens, come to think of it; (note: please be cautious not to decide who i am, based on what i listen to.)

it's okay to get uncomfortable... it's about time we did something. i think, sometimes we think, that because we can't see them, it isn't happening. but that's wrong. and it is.

I love to sing..I am unsigned. I really don't mind
Hi.
I'm Elissa. I'm an amateur singer/songwriter from Ontario. All the music and all of the songs i've put up here are original songs that I've written and performed.
Don't hesitate to add me or message me. Even if it takes me a day or three, i'll do my best to get back to you. come out to a show if you're interested- my recordings suck for the most part so i usually sound better live. haha.
As for bookings, feel free to message me. I love new venues and audiences.
I do mostly local shows, venues and events, in Hamilton and the GTA but I love traveling. All I ask is that you are honest and open when criticizing my music.. tact is appreciated, and so is constructive criticism.. I haven't been doing this for a very long time and I am learning and enjoying doing so. I'm working on a demo right now.. I'm excited to have a recording I can be proud of. i would rather hear; "you suck!" spoken honestly than "oh. my. you. are amazing." spoken ungenuinely. (if that's a word.. i've been told it isn't.)
Hello We have a new song up "The Light of Your Love", recorded last month in Germany at SupersoniXS studio. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it! Thanks for being our friend and for your support!
