Elisa Rose is an international DJ, singer songwriter, and live performer known for crafting immersive, journey driven sets rooted in deep musicality and global influence. She is the founder of Ojai Ecstatic Dance and has spent over a decade shaping music led experiences that move fluidly between DJ culture and live performance.
As a DJ, Elisa works across tempos and styles with precision and intuition, moving from slow, groove based selections and soulful cuts into melodic, organic, and Afro influenced house. Her sound draws from rhythms and songs of Africa, South America, and the global underground, with sets shaped by the energy of the room rather than a fixed genre. She frequently weaves original compositions and live vocals into her performances, creating a dynamic and responsive musical arc.
Raised in Ojai, California within an intentional community, Elisa’s musical foundation is informed by both live musicianship and electronic production. Her original work moves through folk, soul, and electronic influences, carried by a warm and expressive vocal style. Her debut LP Breath & Bones is available on all streaming platforms, along with a range of singles and collaborations.
Elisa has performed internationally at festivals, retreats, and cultural events for over 14 years, with appearances at Burning Man, Envision Festival, Lightning in a Bottle, Meadows in the Mountains, and numerous events across North America, Europe, and Latin America.
River & Rose is Elisa’s newest collaborative duo with her partner Noah Rivers. They blend intimate vocal harmonies, acoustic instrumentation, and subtle electronic elements. Rooted in folk and devotional influenced music, the project centers on original songs and stripped down arrangements, offering a more intimate live performance format alongside Elisa’s DJ work.
In addition to her performance work, Elisa has a background in coaching and movement based facilitation, which informs her ability to read rooms, build long form musical journeys, and hold cohesive experiences on the dance floor. She had a long practice of playing music in ceremonial containers and has a long-standing devotional music practice. She is based in Ojai, California, where she continues to produce music, perform, and host a weekly dance.
