Elise Hayes is one of those rare types who is a true professional all around. Her pitch is always spot on, her tone is pure, her performances are captivating, and her work ethic is unmatched. She has the ability to work quickly without sacrificing quality which is something I value most as a producer. Look no further.
I've worked with Elise for years and she remains one of my favorite lead vocalists and harmony singers. She has the skillset required to emulate many genres, but at the same time, her tone is unique and distinctive. I love how creative her harmonies are, and also how efficient she is at performing them!
Above all, she is professional and hard-working. She makes my job easy.
Just had a GREAT experience with Elise! She's a total pro and working with her could not be easier. A rich and very versatile voice and recordings are solid. Client loves her!!
Working with Elise is a dream! She knows her stuff when it comes to songwriting and comping. Very professional and quick on turn-ins and touch-ups or fixes.
Interview with Elise Kathryn
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Less is more! It's about the performance and the emotion behind it.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: All different kinds, to be honest. I have worked in country, pop, R&B, soul, music for ads -- you name it :)
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Above all, I am a singer. I pride myself on being able to deliver a really great vocal.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: As an artist, my songs are always heartfelt and soulful. I have worked in many different facets of the music industry so I understand the different markets and what is competitive in each one. My flexibility and ability to listen and really work with the client are two of my greatest assets.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I usually start by communicating with the client to find out exactly what they are looking for out of their project. If it's an emotional song for them, I want to know so I can tap into that. If it's for an advertisement or a tv placement, I want to know so I can approach it that way. I have worked in a LOT of different genres, so I am able to be very flexible.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I am inspired by so many people! I live in Nashville in a rich musical community and am inspired on a daily basis by my peers. I grew up listening to 60's folk music and later found myself immersed in R&B/soul & pop music. I love it all. In terms of production, I love styles that keep the song and the vocal at the forefront.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I love working with my clients to ensure that they are getting exactly what they want out of their songs. From recording vocals, to the songwriting and editing processes, I want to be as involved as possible.
