Elisa started singing in metal bands when she was only 12 years old. She formed a few Spanish bands; Necrópolis and Five Cross and Sabatan which she recorded two E.P’s for in 1994 but the band split up and Elisa entered Dark Moor. Once with Dark Moor she recorded two demos until 1997 when the band signed a contract with the Spanish label ‘Arise Records’ and they recorded their first album ‘Shadowland’. In 1998 the second album ‘The Hall of the Olden Dreams’ was released and in the same year she recorded an E.P ‘The Fall of Melnibone’ which features unpublished songs, covers from other bands and bonus tracks from Japan. In 2002 she recorded a new CD called ‘The Gates of Oblivion’ and a few months later she joined the young French band ‘Fairyland.. as their special guest in their debut album. Elisa accepted their offer to join the band and in 2003 she recorded her first album with ‘Fairyland’ called ‘Of Wars in Osyria’, published for the French label ‘NTS’. Elisa came back to Spain and recorded the E.P ‘Between Light and Darkness’ with Dark Moor, the last album she would record with this band as for reasons, the band split up; three of Dark Moor’s ex-members formed her recent band called Dreamaker, which she recorded two albums called ‘Human Device’ (2004) and ‘Enclosed’(2005). At present Elisa is working on her first solo album.
