'''Elisa Toffoli ''' (born 19 December 1977), known professionally as simply '''Elisa''', is an Italian singer, songwriter and record producer. She draws inspiration from many genres such as [[Pop music|pop]], [[alternative rock]],<ref name=":0">{{cite web|title=Review of Pipes & Flowers|publisher=Allmusic.com|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r375696/review|pure_url=yes}}}}</ref> [[electronica]],<ref name=":1">{{cite web|title=Elisa's biography|publisher=Allmusic.com|url={{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p224318/biography|pure_url=yes}}}}</ref> and [[trip hop]]. In Europe she is perhaps most recognised for the single "[[Luce (Tramonti a nord est)|Come Speak to Me]]", while American audiences may recognise the song "[[Dancing (Elisa song)|Dancing]]" as featured in both the 2006 and 2007 seasons of ''[[So You Think You Can Dance (American TV series)|So You Think You Can Dance]]''. On 18 December 2012, her collaboration with [[Ennio Morricone]], "[[Ancora qui]]", was featured in [[Quentin Tarantino]]'s film ''[[Django Unchained]]'' and on its [[Django Unchained (soundtrack)|soundtrack album]], which was nominated for a [[Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media]].

She won six awards at the [[Sanremo Music Festival]] in 2001, one [[Targa Tenco]], two Lunezia Awards, 13 [[Italian Music Awards|Italian, Wind & Music Awards]], one award at the [[Festivalbar]], one [[Nastro d'Argento]], one [[David di Donatello]], and several other awards, including one at the [[MTV Europe Music Awards]].

== Early life ==
Elisa Toffoli was born on 19 December 1977, in [[Trieste]] in north-eastern Italy. She grew up in [[Monfalcone]] (27&nbsp;km from [[Trieste]], 17&nbsp;km from [[Gorizia]], 5&nbsp;km from [[Slovenia]], 80&nbsp;km from Austria). Living in a border area, where she had the opportunity to listen to different languages and experience various cultures, was important for Elisa's later inspirations and helped her develop the ability to sing in multiple languages. 
Her early influences include [[Björk]], [[PJ Harvey]], [[Tori Amos]], [[Aretha Franklin]] and [[Ella Fitzgerald]],<ref name=":3">{{cite web |title=Elisa bio |publisher=MTV.it |url=http://www.mtv.it/music/archivio/newsiteBioArt.asp?ID=40462 |language=it |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081227055505/http://www.mtv.it/music/archivio/newsiteBioArt.asp?ID=40462 |archive-date=27 December 2008 }}</ref> and she has credited [[Rudyard Kipling]] and [[Jim Morrison]] of [[The Doors]] as lyrical inspirators.<ref name=":4">{{cite web|title=Anfiteatro delle Cascine: Bandabardò ed Elisa (Italian)|publisher=Nove da Firenze|url=http://www.nove.firenze.it/vediarticolo.asp?id=a0.07.10.22.34}}</ref> She began writing songs at the age of 11 and later played in several local bands. At 15 she appeared in a karaoke TV program, ''Karaoke'' hosted by [[Rosario Fiorello]].

== Career ==

=== 2000s ===

At 16, Elisa met [[Caterina Caselli]], who one year later signed her to the record company [[Sugar Music]]. At 18 she left for [[Berkeley, California]] (US) to work on songs for her debut album with record producer [[Corrado Rustici]], who has also worked with [[Whitney Houston]], Aretha Franklin and [[Zucchero]] among others.

Elisa's first single "[[Sleeping in Your Hand]]" was released in late May 1997, followed by her debut album ''[[Pipes & Flowers]]'' on 22 September of the same year. She was credited as a writer or co-writer on all tracks. The album soon went quadruple [[Music recording sales certification|platinum]] in Italy and won her two prizes: ''Targa Tenco'' and ''PIM'' (Premio Italiano della Musica). She was also a special guest on [[Eros Ramazzotti]]'s European tour. In 1998, the re-release of ''Pipes and Flowers'' included a new track, ''Cure Me'', recorded in Venice with British producer [[Darren Allison]] ([[Spiritualized]], [[Belle and Sebastian]]).<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=1 January 1998 |title=Elisa - Pipes & Flowers - la recensione |url=https://www.rockol.it/recensioni-musicali/album/346/elisa-pipes-flowers |access-date=31 October 2023 |website=[[Rockol]] |language=it}}</ref>

5 May 2000 saw the release of ''[[Asile's World]]'' (''Asile'' being ''Elisa'' written backwards). The album took a new turn in terms of musical influences and featured songs produced by [[Howie B]], Roberto Vernetti, [[Mauro Malavasi]] and [[Leo Z]].

In September 2000 Elisa recorded her first song in Italian, "[[Luce (Tramonti a nord est)]]". The song was initially written in English, but an Italian lyric was written in collaboration with fellow singer Zucchero. The song was performed at the 2001 [[Festival della canzone italiana|Sanremo Festival]] supported by the Solis String Quartet, and won her the ''Critics' Award'', ''Interpreter of the Year'' as well as the competition altogether. Both Italian and English versions were later included in a re-release of ''Asile's World''. In November she was awarded three prizes at the [[Italian Music Awards]]: ''Best Female Artist'', ''Best Single'' (''Luce'') and ''Best Song'', as well as taking home the ''Best Italian Artist'' at the [[2001 MTV Europe Music Awards]] in Frankfurt. She also received Premio Italiano della Musica's ''Best Female Artist'' and ''Best Single'' (''Luce'').

Elisa's third album, ''[[Then Comes the Sun]]'' was released on 9 November 2001, with Rustici returning as producer. The album saw a return to a more pop/rock sound and went triple platinum. The following year she performed both at the closing of the [[2002 Winter Olympics]] in [[Salt Lake City]], Utah, singing a jazzy version of the Italian national hymn, and at the 2002 ''[[Luciano Pavarotti|Pavarotti and Friends]]'' concert, singing ''Voglio vivere così (col sole in fronte)'' with the world-famous [[tenor]].

In August 2002, Sugar Music released an international album simply titled ''[[Elisa (album)|Elisa]]''. The album is a selection of songs from her first three albums fronted by ''[[Luce (Tramonti a nord est)|Come Speak to Me]]'', the original English version of her hit ''Luce''. The single received high rotation on [[MTV Europe]] as well as fair airplay and moderate attention in several European countries, but still failed to establish Elisa as an international artist.

In late 2003, Elisa released the album ''[[Lotus (Elisa album)|Lotus]]'', an acoustic album featuring new, stripped-down versions of some of her songs as well as a handful of new ones, including a cover version of [[Leonard Cohen]]'s "[[Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen song)|Hallelujah]]". The album was followed by an extensive acoustic Italian tour as well as a double DVD set consisting of an ''MTV Supersonic'' concert and ''The making of Lotus''.

Elisa's fourth studio album ''[[Pearl Days]]'' was released on 15 October 2004. All tracks were produced by [[Glen Ballard]], known for producing [[Alanis Morissette]]'s [[Jagged Little Pill]] and tracks for artists such as [[Anastacia]], [[Michael Jackson]], [[Shakira]], [[Christina Aguilera]] and [[The Corrs]]. The album was more rock influenced and sported more electric guitars than her earlier records. One of the songs, ''Life Goes On'', was later translated to Italian (''Una poesia anche per te'') and became the fourth best-selling single in Italy in 2005. The single was accompanied by a self-directed video which won the ''Premio Video Italiano'' for ''Best Female Artist''. In the summer of 2005, Elisa appeared at the [[Live 8]] concert in Rome alongside [[Zucchero]], [[Luciano Ligabue]] and other major Italian artists.[[File:ElisaMechanical.jpg|thumb|Elisa during the Mechanical Dream Tour, Milan 7 October 2008]] Two non-album singles were released in 2005 and 2006, ''Swan'' and ''Teach Me Again'' (duet with [[Tina Turner]]). Both supported major Italian films, namely ''[[Melissa Panarello|Melissa P.]]'' and ''[[All the Invisible Children]]'' (Segment 9: ''Song Song & Little Cat'' directed by [[John Woo]]). Elisa also performed ''Luce (Tramonti a nord est)'' at the [[2006 Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony|closing ceremony]] of the [[2006 Winter Olympics]] in [[Torino]].
On 17 November 2006 ''[[Soundtrack '96-'06]]'' was released, a collection of hits from her first ten years as a recording artist. The album also contained four new songs; three in Italian and one in English. The album peaked at number 1, was certified diamond and became the third best-selling album of 2006 in Italy, with more than 700,000 copies sold. A revised edition titled ''[[Caterpillar (Elisa album)|Caterpillar]]'' was released in September 2007, aimed at the international market. Several of the songs had been remixed, rearranged and partly rerecorded, and it featured an entirely new cover version of [[The Rolling Stones]]' song ''[[Wild Horses (The Rolling Stones song)|Wild Horses]]''. The box set ''[[Soundtrack Live '96-'06]]'' was released on 23 November 2007, containing a CD and DVD from a [[Milan]] concert during the 2007 ''Soundtrack Live Tour''.

In the wake of Elisa's increased popularity due to her song ''[[Dancing (Elisa song)|Dancing]]'' appearing on ''[[So You Think You Can Dance (U.S. TV series)|So You Think You Can Dance]]'', yet another compilation album appropriately named ''[[Dancing (Elisa album)|Dancing]]'' was released in the US on 15 July 2008. Being the singer's first album available in the US, it is recognised as her American debut.

Elisa released her next album, ''[[Heart (Elisa album)|Heart]]'', on 13 November 2009. The first single was ''[[Ti vorrei sollevare]],'' with [[Giuliano Sangiorgi]] from Italian rock band [[Negramaro]]. The album also contains a collaboration with [[Antony Hegarty]] from [[Antony and the Johnsons]] on the song "Forgiveness". On 30 November 2010, Elisa released ''Ivy'', an album in the same vein as Lotus, featuring three new tracks, acoustic versions of her past songs and covers such as [[1979 (song)|"1979"]] by the [[Smashing Pumpkins]]. The album sold over 80,000 copies in Italy and was further supported by a tour. In the same year Elisa collaborated with music producer / musician [[Gaudi (musician)|Gaudi]] for the track "Brainwashed Again", included on his album "No Prisoners".
