About Me

Elisha (pronounced E – lee- sha) was born the 8th November 1985, in London, England.

Growing up as a child Elisha loved to ACT. Elisha’s love for acting was nurtured by her early years of performing in school productions and musicals. She began performing at the age of 7 and demonstrated a real passion and, more importantly, a talent for acting and performing.

Elisha describes her acting as raw, truthful and commanding. She admits some of her biggest influences and inspiration has come from watching some of her favourite actors and actress, including Julia Roberts, Denzel Washington & Whoopi Goldberg to name a few.

“My love for acting is like no other. It’s a way of release for me, living through another person. It’s something that makes me truly happy.”

Elisha has featured in a variety of theatre productions, short films, feature films and rehearsed readings.

Elisha is a creative & artistic solo singer & songwriter, and has taken part in a number of talent shows and events including: Hectic, Urban Idol (Equivalent to Pop Idol), Urban Sounds (in conjunction with Ms Dynamite), The Z Factor (Yes Z NOT X), Xpressions, Wandsworth Performer of The Year, Music Art & Life and Who Dares Sings (ITV) to name a few.

Elisha is also a poet so evidently she is multi-talented. Elisha’s an extremely focused and driven artist who inspires to make her dreams comes true. This young actress, singer, songwriter and poet has a very bright future ahead of her in the world of entertainment and she will take it by storm.

Quote by Elisha herself: “The sky is not my limit - I am.”
