New Photo Shoot

Hey Everyone,

I'm running a little bit behind, so today is going to be a double post.I just wanted to post a few picks from behind the scenes of my Photo Shoot this past Thursday.

I'm getting ready to go network in Miami next week and I have so much to do, that I don't know what comes first. :)

I've been really happy lately and music has been running through my veins on a daily basis. It seriously heals everything.

My photographer was amazing...his name is Francesco and he really rocked this shoot for me!

Enjoy

Happy New Year!

I just wanted to drop in and send my wishes to everyone to start the year off right. I spent alot of time in 2010 trying to find inner peace with myself and to be honest I am still in the midst of searching for something that will help me find my way regarding my music. I am lucky to have the most amazing family & friends who support my every move and never lead me astray.

I worked on some projects that are still being produced in Europe and have been fortunate to work with some amazing talent right here in my home town of Toronto.
These projects are also in the works and i'll be in and out of the studio this month working on new tracks as well :) This makes me happy!

In the meantime, I've updated my website with links to where you can find me on the internet and I promise to be updating all of you as soon as some of the releases find a home!

I was featured on a new record with Toronto's MC Flipside in early December and he included the track on his Soundcloud Download "As We Enter". The track is titled "Outta Control" (Featured around the 45 minute mark) and i'll have more info on the release real soon. You can check it out on his page as well as keep in touch with his releases and my own on our Twitter accounts. www.twitter.com/elissamusic & www.twitter.com/mcflipside . He was a joy to work with and has an amazing ability to connect to the music that he produces.

So for now...here is the link and i'm hoping that 2011 brings alot of sick music your way, including my own! Enjoy!

This Is My Time....

Here are the lyrics to one of the projects that I am working on right now. It may be released October of this year, if not I will work on the finishing touches and music video for early 2011 Release.

The song is in the process of being remixed by some of my great friends and amazing dj/producers from around the world such as DJ Boza, Joey Seminara & Simon Gain, The Beat Thrillerz & Sander.

It will be released through my new label Muzikworx with my good friend and partner THEBEATMONKEY (Jason Fraser) and we will let you know where it will be signed real soon. THEBEATMONKEY is also the creator of the original mix.

I am blessed and excited to keep recording and keep releasing music for all of you. The words to this song explain where I am at this present moment!

Can't wait for you to hear it :)

THIS IS MY TIME

I'VE BEEN DOWN AND OUT
AND I'VE BEEN BLACK AND BLUE
BUT I WILL NEVER BOW DOWN TO YOU

SO READ BETWEEN THE LINES
I'M MAKING MY OWN RULES
NOW IT'S ALL TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE

I'M BEAUTIFUL, I'M STRONGER
WON'T LET YOU BRING ME DOWN
MY FREEDOM, SURROUNDS ME
THE TIME IS NOW

THIS IS MY TIME,
AND THIS IS MY LIFE
IT'S MY CHANCE TO SHINE
AND I WON'T LOOK BACK X2

AND I AIN'T WASTING TIME, TIME, TIME, TIME
TIME, TIME, TIME, TIME, TIME, TIME
NO I AIN'T WASTING TIME, TIME, TIME, TIME
TIME, TIME, TIME, TIME, TIME

I WON'T BE AFRAID
AND I WILL FIND MY WAY
CUZ I'M THE ONE WHO DARES TO BELIEVE

AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT
I WON'T HAVE A PROBLEM
CUZ I KNOW I WON'T BE DECEIVED

New Single "Go Your Own Way"

I've been in the studio over the past few months trying to find my way and figure out what type of record that I want to release.

I recorded an amazing track titled "Addicted" which you can hear on my website right now with my good friend Cajjmere Wray. More info regarding release dates should be coming soon :)

This week, I had the honor of going into the studio with record producer "Trust" and we layed down the most Slammin' song titled "Go Your Own Way"! Words can not express my gratitude for his hard work in the studio and I must say that it felt really good to be a part of a team again.
More info will be coming soon regarding my work with the First Entertainment Group and the hot tracks that we will be releasing together.

Here are my lyrics and once we set a release date I promise to post a clip as soon as I can :)

Go Your Own Way
(Words & Lyrics By D.Rubino/Elissa)

I find myself sitting, daydreaming and i'm thinking of you
I never thought you'd come along, but there you were
Too good to be true

But I made the wrong move, I pushed you away
There's an empty space in my heart
If I could, turn back time, I'd play your game
So now I say

You can go your own way (Go Your Own Way)
You can go your own way (Go Your Own Way)

I found my strength, i'm living life, I can't deny
I actually like this (like this, like this)
Then you re-appear once in awhile, my mind goes wild
I can't resist

But I made the wrong move, I pushed you away
There's an empty space in my heart (you weren't ready)
If I could, make things fine, won't cross the line
Until your mine

You can go your own way (Go Your Own Way)
You can go your own way (Go Your Own Way)
