Bio

Hi! My name is Elsa (named before the movie, thank you very much) and I am one of five siblings. I was born and raised in Flushing, Michigan and if you don’t know where that is come ask me; I’ll show you on my hand. I moved to Portland in 2016 to pursue an education in music which I am currently doing with a focus in Vocal Performance. In the future, I hope to do dabble in everything I can. I love performing and plan to continue my training as an opera singer. I am also very interested in conducting and would love to conduct a choir or orchestra someday. Furthermore, I have a huge passion for movie music and look forward to exploring that more in the future. In my free time I love listening to music, reading, watching Disney movies, and sleeping for as long as possible.
