Elizaveta (Elizaveta Igorevna Khripounova), was born in New York, where her Russian parents were stationed as interpreters at the United Nations, and grew up in Moscow, Russia, playing piano but refusing to learn how to figure-skate. She left home in her teens, to roam the world and follow her musical dreams..
Elly’s music is a quirky and magical brew of musical styles, which, in addition to jazz, pop and rock, even features opera as a new ingredient and is as unique as the girl herself.
She worships at the altar of Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder and Elton John, still listens to Queen, and has written over a hundred of songs. The petite and deceivingly fragile pianist, and now guitarist, doesn’t like diamonds, has a thing for motorcycles, and you can easily find her pairing up an opera dress with a pair of Converse kicks, while reading Eastern philosophy and queuing up her favorite Japanese anime on Netflix (which would probably be by Hayao Miyazaki).

“A girl, a piano and a string quartet: a jewel of classically-inspired songs in an intimate, acoustic setting.” – CDBaby
