ELSA CHAPMAN

- She is ready! Fantastic Soul Singer
 Singer/songwriter Elsa Chapman has entertained crowds across 4 continents, performed in 3 languages and has sung live for thousands of people. As an artist, she has opened for World Music legend Youssou N’Dour and has toured with him across Europe and in West Africa. Her voice has been heard on national television commercials in the UK, is heard regularly over the airwaves in her native Senegal and she has collaborated with multiple Grammy winners. Through Virgin Megastores, college campuses and national US magazine distribution, her music has reached an audience of over 60,000 people. This London-born soul singer is an artist who crosses many divides. To classify Elsa’s music simply as ‘piano-lead soul’ would be an understatement. Her soul-pop mélange hints towards her upbringing as a classical pianist, has reflections of a teenage addiction to RnB and a thick coating of badass pop. Melodically sophisticated, it combines playful rhythms with her innate soul sensitivities. Her words are relatable, honest and lyrically mature, reflecting the type of artist she truly is. As the sole composer of every track, Elsa has attracted the support of several top-rated musicians. Living up to her role as an independent artist, she truly is just that: artistically independent. The result is a unique sound that draws from her broad range of influences, but is still distinctly her. Classifying her repertoire as a collection of moods seems to suit her just fine: being defined as one thing has never suited this mixed-race, crossover artist. Now making her mark on London’s live scene, Elsa is set to further prove to the world that she is a talent to be reckoned with. Gifted, ambitious, hard working and headstrong, Elsa Chapman is here and she’s ready.
