ELSA is a four-piece band led by vocalist Elsa Steixner, driven by an insatiable curiosity. Courage, fear, longing, and chaos- their music flows from raw wildness to boundless tenderness. It’s music you want to immerse yourself in, feeling held, comforted, and embraced—as if underwater, for just a few breaths.

Influenced by the urgency of artists like Nina Simone and Abdullah Ibrahim and the compositional range and sophistication of songwriters like Paul Simon and Joni Mitchell, ELSA’s sound is built on a foundation of jazz, folk, and RnB. With this embrace of tradition combined with a curious and attentive perspective on the present, the band is creating a sense of timelessness while remaining deeply current.
