‘Melbourne’s soul/pop prodigy’ - Amber Mic
Elisha is a soul and blues inspired passion project based in Naarm (Melbourne) fronted by Australian songstress Elisha Labriola. Debuting her sweet and soulful voice onto Melbourne’s independent music scene in 2018, Elisha has been captivating audiences with her sound, while also displaying a great talent for song writing. ‘My songs a basically a diary entry.’
After supporting acts like Karise Eden, Kosmoblu, Lace De Bridge and more, she released the ultimate break up song and her debut single ‘Better Without You’. Since then she has performed at some of Melbourne’s most prominent music venues, bringing audiences the sultry soul and pop music she is now known for.
Indie-pop singer songwriter Bares has been on the scene for a number of years making waves in the Melbourne live music scene with her memorable melodies and heart wrenching lyrics. Deeply influenced by enigmatic writers like Nai Palm, Lorde, Pheobe Bridgers, H.E.R, and Lianne La Haves, Bares has a distinctive genre-bending style with roots in Soul and Indie-Pop. Bares prides herself as a songwriter first and foremost, ‘Fruit’ being the latest chapter in her lyrical storytelling, and is often seen sharing the stage with other local female powerhouses like Romaine, Jade Alice, Velvet Bloom, YARA, Jazure, among others.
Trad Ukiyo meld elements of soul, hip hop, jazz and rnb to create a sonic hybrid that holds you like a sweet dream that you never want to wake from. Since forming in 2019 the group have hit strides with their live shows. Delivering tight, cohesive performances that range from soft and euphonious, to high energy jams with soaring vocals and blistering solos.
