About Me

Who am I? My name is Elyse. I'm from Los Angeles, California. I am a concert photographer, former barista, current saluta, dancer, actress, singer, writer, no-sleeping, and very busy person. I am always doing something! If I'm not on set of some movie, television show, music video, I'm at a concert shooting and taking photos OR conducting interviews with the bands on their tour bus. If I'm not doing that, I am at the Macaroni Grill taking people to their seats. If I'm not there, I'm at Starbucks. If I'm not there, I am at a party getting my photo taken and last if I'm not there, I am DEFINITELY docked in front of itunes listening to bands no one has ever heard of. I am everywhere but I am no where.
I promote bands via www.thisyearsparty.com .
It's my baby. I usually meet and work with about 100+ bands a year and most of the time, I end up becoming buddies with them. It's my own little network and I love it. I work with bands signed to major labels all the way down to the beautifully talented and unsigned people of the world. If you want me to promote you, I surely will and if you want a photo shoot, I surely will. Just make sure to give me time so I can be sure NOT to be doing any of the things listed above.
