“Born in rural Ontario, calling Toronto home, Mielke began performing her own music at the tender age of 14. Her wealthy on-stage history translates to a captivating performance. In a move for the refreshing, at least in terms of chart compatibility, her songs are also unbelievably unique. Fused with emotion and evocative imagery – a penchant she’s picked up through her extensive travels – the Canadian is able to carve a haunting, delicate and beautiful marble masterpiece out of her personal experiences. Combined, her powers as a vocalist and songwriter make her unstoppable.” – xbEATZ
“Elissa grew up singing German hymns at her local church; the husk of choral folk still affects her voice. …Over the past few years in particular has drawn a likeness to Laura Veirs and Regina Spektor in her ability to manipulate her voice to imitate a song’s melody. She’s as original as her juniors, breeding a special concoction of Canadian Americana, folk, pop and sonic exploration in place of using a traditional piano and guitar arrangement.”
