Elise Witt

Singer / Songwriter

Singer-guitarist-songwriter Elise Witt was born in Switzerland, raised in North Carolina, and since 1977 has made her home in Atlanta. She speaks fluent Italian, French, German, Spanish, and English and sings in at least a dozen languages. Among her ancestors, Elise claims "Wedding March" composer Felix Mendelssohn.

"Love Being Here" is Elise's ninth recording on her own EMWorld Records label. The title comes from a Peggy Lee song, "I Love Being Here With You." This CD marks a new musical direction for Elise, who for years has been known around Atlanta and around the country as an international folk songstress. "Love Being Here" takes Elise in a more jazz and world music direction, with accompaniments including piano, horns, accordion, cello, and southern African 'mbira.
