About Me

Part wood nymph, philosopher, poet, and songstress, Elissa Hawke is an original thinker and songwriter whose earthy wistful lullabies soothe the soul.

“Elissa Hawke is an extremely honest and brave person for whom music finds a rare muse. As with her other gifts, her ability to challenge with compassion makes her deep and simple songs directly affect heart and soul without any of the pretense that the sophisticated world can misconstrue … making her a universal creator channeling love through music.”
- CARL PANNUZZO, Musician


Elissa pours her heart and soul into her music, massage, screenwriting and comedy, charming the socks and jocks off audiences everywhere with her lightning wit and remarkable gift for improvisation.

“She’s very funny, I guarantee your satisfaction….”
- DAVE HUGHES
“...hot AND funny ...”
- TOM RHODES (USA)
