Biography
Elana Stone
‘Her deep fruity voice has flavours of soaring purity and sliding breathiness…and a stage charisma that has the audience singing along.' THE WEST AUSTRALIAN
Best Jazz Artist at the 2004 Musicoz awards, winner of the National Jazz Awards at Wangaratta in 2005 and semi finalist in Montreux Jazz Festival vocal competition in 2005.
A professional singer since the age of fourteen, Elana Stone has spent the better part of a decade writing and performing her own compositions.
After immersing herself in the technical base of jazz, her wandering eye soon saw the young singer drawing folk, funk, rock and modern pop music into her growing repertoire.
Elana’s borderless attitude to genre is reflected in Elana’s original music; a singer-songwriters intimacy voiced using a broad and progressive palette.
Despite her eclecticism, Elana remains at heart an improviser, and is most at home in the live environment.
