BIOGRAPHY

Elena Shirin is a versatile vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, photographer, and audio-visual artist. She released her debut album From A to Be on the Berlin-based label Motor Music, showcasing her diverse artistic range. Through collaborations with producers and musicians such as Demuja (Austria), Moon Hooch (USA), and Oehl (Austria), Elena explores a wide variety of musical styles and artistic expressions.

Growing up in Vienna, Elena discovered poetry and music at the age of 12, finding them to be powerful tools for self-expression and personal transformation. Her songwriting is deeply rooted in themes of love, trust, and empathy. While her jazzy piano skills and soulful vocals are at the core of her music, Elena’s connection to electronic music has always been a driving force. By the age of 15, she began recording and producing her own tracks, integrating sound design into her compositions.

Her music today blends cinematic soundscapes with energetic beats, drawing from influences like classical music, jazz, tribal rhythms, and hip-hop. This eclectic mix serves as the backdrop for Elena’s subtle yet profound lyrics, creating a sound that is both captivating and emotionally resonant.
