We had the absolute joy of having this incredible cellist(Elis) play during our wedding cocktail hour, and she blew us away. She was super punctual and really easy to communicate with from start to finish. Not only did she take the time to understand the vibe we were going for, but she absolutely nailed it. The classical music she played set the perfect mood. And to top it all off, she was pregnant while doing it—proving there’s truly nothing women can’t handle! We’ll definitely be booking her again for future events because her talent and professionalism are second to none.

Working with Elis was seamless. She was very communicative and worked with us on a late booking. She already had songs for us to choose from and played each really well. She was the perfect addition to a great night.

My communication with Elis was seamless and easy from the very beginning.
She is a confident and excellent musician. She was on time, came with everything she needed, including her own chair! And played the program beautifully and exactly as agreed. She even filled some timing holes, going above and beyond!!!
She was so easy going, but exacting. She's a dream to work with. One of the most enjoyable parts of our wedding ceremony! Thank you, thank you, Elis, for making it all complete!!! Best, best wishes!!!

We hired Elis to play the cello (solo) at our wedding ceremony. She was very responsive and communicative in the months leading up to the wedding to understand exactly what type of music we wanted. Elis arrived on time, performed a beautiful series of songs that were timed perfectly with our procession, and she ensured that the volume/vibe of the music stayed compatible with our event. I would not hesitate at all to hire her again!

Elis was simply amazing. My guest and I enjoyed her professionalism as well as her impeccable talent. I will definitely hire her for any of my occasions in the future.

Elis performed at UT Dallas for the African Student Union at our annual Fall Ball. Our students and faculty enjoyed her upbeat playing, and her classic take on modern music! Most omportantly, it was a new experience for everyone there. Elis herself was very kind, considerate, and flexible with both pricing and timing. I highly reccomend her for your next event, espicially if it is an academic one!
She was amazing and I thank God for this connection. my wife and mother in-law along with our friends moms cried it was so beautiful. Thank you again for your professionalism and for being transparent as well. My family loves you and we will be calling again.
Blessings unto you and yours

Influences & Inspiration
I have many influences because I belong to a family of musicians.
My older brother is a classical pianist and my other brother is a drummer. My father was a bass player.
I grow up listening a lot of jazz, classical music and Latin music because I am originally from Havana, Cuba. I love soul and R/B music too.
