Elyssa Vulpes

Singer, Songwriter, Multi-Instrumentalist, Author and Mindset Coach

Elyssa's music is meditative yet motivational, with not only a classic singer-songwriter style but elements of Neo-folk, Indie-rock and Americana. Her older albums under the moniker "The Moon Whispers" and "Mjuk" are more Gothic and experimental in nature.

Born in Italy, now based between Scotland and New Zealand her music revolves around themes of life's sufferings hope and transformation.

Soaking up the cultural elements of these disparate places, from the Celtic Folk Traditions of Ireland and Scotland to the celebrated Italian singer-songwriters of the 1970s, her music showcases a variety of musical hues that go from sombre to comedic.

Influences include Amanda Palmer, The Pretenders and Martha Wainwright as well as In the Nursery and Eraas .

“Elyssa Vulpes is a likeable performer, and her singing voice has a beautiful clarity to it” The Scotsman (Edinburgh Fringe 2016)
"...bitter-sweet songs, delivered with simple clarity...which show off her own vocal talents to charming effect." All Edinburgh Theatre” (Edinburgh Fringe 2016)

SINGLES

The Night is Falling

Bjork like vocals, Eraas meets In the Nursery, a Gothic Tangerine Dream... Inspired by the TV Show Yellow Jackets, this track takes you by the hand and guides you through dark snowy forests into a night full of exquisite terror-filled magic!

We Shall Overcome

The Pandemic, Climate Change, Crazy Politics, Conspiracies and Misinformation... What to do when the world is coming apart?

Originally written in 2020 during the first 4 months of lockdown. However, we are not short of pandemics and disasters, so I figure it is still highly relevant...

Where Have all the Good Guys gone?

Desperation Bridget Jones style is not my idea of a good time... but it happens to the best of us! What to do? Take the piss out of the situation, have a good laugh and count yourself lucky you are not like the lady on this track!

Front Line

When you get hurt you have a choice: close up and shrivel or be a soldier of love. Give up or grow up and open to the lesson to be learned. The way through is compassion, vulnerability and making use of our sorrows instead of allowing them to make us into victims.

Holding On, Letting go

Have you ever given away your power in a relationship out of a desire to be validated? I have. This doomed the relationship to failure and at the time I saw that as a sign I was flawed. My choice was to either hold on to this unfulfilled promise or face reality and see it was time to let go
