Elisa Caleb

Born to Barbadian and Philipino parents, Elisa began singing at a young age in school choirs and at church. Music in her early years consisted of listening to The Carpenters and Motown artists like The Four Tops and The Temptations. It was as a teenager, when she got her first stereo, that she was introduced to Jazz and began listening to the music of her favourite vocalists; Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday.
Elisa went on to study Law and Theology, as music had primarily always been for enjoyment. It was not until the autumn of 2005 - upon the encouragement of her husband and fellow musician Jo Caleb - that she finally made the decision to pursue music professionally. Since then she has performed to considerable acclaim in Paris, Moscow, Barbados, Belgium and Italy, in addition to numerous venues across London and the UK. She has shared the stage with such artists as Tony Kofi, Seb Rochford, Jo Caleb, Soweto Kinch, Guy Barker, Mike Outram, Julian Siegel, Phil Robson, Troy Miller, Mike Gorman, Mornington Lockett, Gary Husband, Mike Mondesir, Jim Mullen, Gareth Lockrane and Stan Sulzmann. Elisa now performs regularly around the UK and also hosts a high-profile jam session in West London.
