Jelisa: Sometimes
JELISA is a multitalented artist. She is a singer/songwriter born in Amsterdam with South American / Surinamese roots. At a young age she was Inspired by jazz, soul, the 70's and artists like Prince, D'Angelo, Fleetwood Mac, Nina Simone and Stevie Wonder. That's probably why JELISA infuses neo-soul, alternative R&B, pop with a splash of funk and a raw & jazzy sound.
Dancing was her first love. She studied performing arts, went from dancing to acting in film and television and working as a model, but she has always been writing songs. JELISA has always been expressing her self through art, piano, dancing, acting, painting and writing. Last year she decided to create her first EP to describe the way she feels including the struggles, confusions and heartbreaks. You will hear the perspective of a young adult in her 20’s. You'll feel it comes right from the heart, she expresses that easily, with an acoustic, flowing, rhythmic and dreamy vibe.
Jelisa describes her brand new single “SOMETIMES’ is a song about the confusion of a young adult trying to understand love and relationships while being a balanced independent individual. How do people blend their lives together?”
