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!

Happy New Year!

2011-01-06T17:22:00.005-07:00

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....

2010-09-16T14:34:00.004-06:00

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"

2010-08-07T12:10:00.004-06:00

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)

Here Are Some Images From My Photoshoot With Julian Moniz Taken Early This Year!

Just Because

2010-01-24T20:21:00.003-07:00

I felt like writing for no specific reason.

I wanted to think outloud and I figured that my blog would be a cool place for it!

Through out the past few months, I've realized that when you feel like you have no direction,
the only person that can get you out of it is your self. Look into the things that bring you faith and the things that you believe in and they will lead the way. If you are a strong person, nothing can be too hard for you to get out of no matter how impossible things may be.

I guess as i'm writing this, it might just be a reminder to myself to look into the light and I will find my answers. It also may apply to a few of my close friends who I feel have lost their way and will find their place in this world if they just believe in who they are.

I've been set behind a few months working on some really cool projects with some great friends who have now become more like a family to me, but i'll be starting a couple of new tracks with some amazing Canadian artists in February this year.

My heart goes out to all of the people and especially the children in Haiti. Please give to your nearest charity and help rebuild their lives.

Your Love Still Haunts Me #1 On The BPM TV Charts

2009-09-30T08:43:00.003-06:00

Hey Everyone,

It's taken forever for me to sit down and blog to all of you!

It's been an amazing month. I've watched our music video slowly move up the BPM TV charts and this week it hit #1! That's an amazing feeling!

We put alot of hard work into the video and it's really great to see the feedback that the track is getting :)

The song should be released shortly on a SPG Music/Universal Music dance compilation coming this late fall/early winter 2009!

As for the song, it is currently getting remixed in Europe in hopes of a release later this year as well!

I just finished recording a new house record for my friends in Europe and i'll have more info coming soon. As for me, it will be back in the studio. I've been unsure of what to do next or who to work with so this might be a great adventure for me!

Until then, enjoy the video, enjoy the chart and don't forget to tune into http://www.bpmtv.com/

Your Love Still Haunts Me Ready 2 Go

2009-02-19T20:23:00.012-07:00

Hey Everyone!

I just had a minute to update my website. Things have been a bit crazy over the past few weeks, we finished shooting the video for "Your Love Still Haunts Me" and the remixes keep coming! I just wanted to take a minute to thank Mickey Bono for his partnership with the track and the amazing mixes, my friend Cajjmere Wray from Canada for his support and edits, Alessandro (Sander) from Milan and Jean Maxwell from Sweeden for the same friendship and support on the track.

The video was shot mostly in downtown Toronto with a breathtaking view of the CN Tower. Everyone involved has been so amazing and it was alot of fun shooting the video in a span of 3 days all over the Toronto area. Since i'm in a Thankful mood, I wanted to take a moment to say Thanx to Antonio (7T7 Media), Amanda (Amanda Sousa Make-Up), Moses, Olga, Aymen, Taz, Jeff, Mersed, Jessica, Marliese, Boom Studios and Gian Paolo for making everything possible.

I just found out that all of our promotional items are ready to go and will be serviced to radio next week and i'm really excited! :)

Here are some of my fave pics from the video shoot. I will keep everyone posted when the video will be completed and serviced to BPM etc..

Talk to you soon.....

Happy New Year Everyone!!

2009-01-09T17:16:00.003-07:00

So here goes my first post. I want to start off by wishing everyone a Happy New Year.

My year has started off on the right foot musically and I just came back from the record company not too long ago to finalize the details on my new release "Beat Thrillerz - Your Love Still Haunts Me". I fell in love with the song and production as soon as I heard the track as if it was supposed to be written for me.

So far the feedback has been amazing and i'm really excited about everything that is coming up for me. The song is going to be released on a Tony Monaco compilation at the end of February followed up by the release of my music video ( We are filming in in Downtown Toronto starting the end of January).

My album is also going to be re-released in Canada and you will be able to find it in all HMV locations sometime in February as well.

My music is my outlet that takes me away to another place, it's almost like I have two lives and music is the life that keeps me breathing. There is so much more ahead of me that I have left out of this blog, but by the time I return, I will have more news for you, photos from the video shoot and new promotional photos as well!

I hope everyone has a great weekend and you will check back with me real soon
