I think all of these are worth a listen; all of these artists have affected the way I think about music at one time or another.

My name is Elissa Mielke and I’m a singer/songwriter, currently living in Toronto. I have been performing for seven years and have happily shared my songs in over 40 different venues, including The Gladstone Hotel, The Central, Sneaky Dee's, The Free Times Café, Starbucks Concert Series, The Casbah, and the 2009 Rogers Spring Music Festival. Through these performance opportunities, I’ve developed a strong following in Ontario which has allowed me connect with a broader audience across North America.
I'm enthusiastic and grateful for new opportunities to share my music. I’m passionate about creating honest, engaging music that allows me to connect with my audience and share what I think is important.
I love to sing, I love to share my music. This is one of the ways that I feel most alive and experience true connection with what I love.
Seek beauty, love truth, love people.
