Artist Showcase: Elise Eriksen
Elise Eriksen, originally from Norway and raised in Manhattan, has been gaining recognition for her stunning vocals and heartfelt songwriting. Having grown up surrounded by musicians, Elise gained an early understanding of “the reality of how hard they work, and that they’re real people with real talent.” Her first single, "Less," instantly showcased her natural talent, blending a breezy pop feel with memorable melodies and a standout feature from up-and-coming producer and artist Shoffy.
The strong debut left fans eager for more, and Elise delivered with her next single, "Smile." This track not only confirmed her vocal strength but also highlighted her gift for writing deeply personal and introspective lyrics with a moody, emotional tone.
Elise’s 2021 EP, Golden Boy—a collection of her earlier singles plus a brand-new title track—showcases everything that makes her such an exciting emerging artist, from vibrant production and captivating vocals to some of her most infectious melodies yet.
What’s even more remarkable is how Elise already sounds like a seasoned pro, despite being so early in her career. Golden Boy ties together her past work while offering a glimpse into the limitless creative directions she could take next.
