I’m Ellissé a 19 year old singer songwriter from East London. I typically sing jazz or Rnb but I dabble into any genre. I’m always willing to perform and I do perform on a regular basis so it is almost second nature to me. I love to put on a show, engage the crowd and just have a great time. I would love the opportunity to perform at this event and any upcoming ones.
