more on Elise:

Elise Gargalikis is a soul singer, songwriter, born and raised in the east bay. Elise began singing at 6 years old and began performing on stage at 10. Her love for music and performing continued and she performed in over 10 musical theatre productions, dozens of talent shows, festivals, contests, and weddings throughout her teen years. Her favorite roles include: Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd, Amaryllis in The Music Man, Antonia in The Man of La Mancha, Lynette Fromme Assassins, and others. Her love for writing began early, around 11, she began writing poems and songs and creating melodies for them. With notebooks and notebooks filled with songs, at 14, Elise had an opportunity to write and record two original songs at a prestigious studio in Burbank, Ca- Encore studios. She later performed those two songs as an opening act for local Pittsburg, CA personality Joey Acuna on local broadcast television. As a senior in high school she competed in her school’s version of American I dol, “Liberty Idol,” and won first place. She has also competed in several torch song competitions, performing the amazing music of Billie Holiday and other torch singers from the past. This sparked an interest in combing those great songs and wonderful time period into modern music. In 2003 she was introduced to House music. Her musical influence was vast with favorites like Jamiroquai, Prince, Erykah Badu, Radiohead, Frank Sinatra, Billi Holiday, Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and many more but she had never heard House. Once she did, she was hooked. She began trying to sing with Dj’s during their sets and loved it. Over the next few years she performed at various parties in her hometown with Delta Funk Dj’s such as Rob Amorin, Dusty Carter, Izzy, and on a rare occasion Demarkus Lewis. In her live sets she would combine house music with torch songs of days gone by as well as her own original lyrics. In 2006 she met Dj Elz, by 2007 they were creating origi nal music and performing live improvised sets at various underground parties in the SF bay area and east bay. They submitted their first original song “Useless” into Test Press hosted by Pyramind, with Chris Lum as one of the judges and won 2nd place. Their second original song “Soul Power” also submitted later and caught the eye of judge David Harness. These two house pioneers created Harlum Musiq and gave Elz and Elise an opportunity of a lifetime. “Soul Power” was released for download on traxsource.com mid June 2010. Look out for “Useless” from Harlum Music next. Elz and Elise Elise will also be releasing “Move On” on Mizumo music with Dj Denise in 2011. Elise is currently working with SoSo Deep founder Stephen Rigmaiden on her highly anticipated release “I’m Not That Kind of Girl” and various other projects. 2011 will be the year to shine for this young singer. With multiple collaborations and projects in the w orks you don’t want to miss a “beat.”
