Elaine Rojas

Voice TA

Elaine Rojas is an independent singer/songwriter, recording artist and music teacher. Elaine’s original music is a fusion of her jazz roots and more recent immersion into R&B and alternative genres of music.

As the granddaughter of a jazz musician, Elaine was raised among professionally trained musicians. At an early age she began studying classical piano with her aunt and by her early teens she began to study voice and guitar as well. Upon her admittance to the Regional Center for the Performing Arts in 2011, she dove deeper into her studies of music theory, arrangement and performance with a special focus in jazz music. Since then, Elaine has studied at Berklee College of Music and SUNY Purchase’s Conservatory of Music where she graduated with a B.Mus. in Studio Composition (Contemporary Songwriting).

Over the years Elaine has studied with distinguished vocalists such as Nicole Zuraitis, Alexis Cole and most recently, international Broadway star, Natalie Weiss. Elaine has also had the privilege of developing her songwriting craft under the mentorship of Grammy award winning musician Rebecca Haviland (Rebecca Haviland and Whisky Heart) in recent years.

Elaine currently resides in SoNo, CT and is in the process of recording her debut EP, set to release in the new year. Elaine is excited to share the most intimate and revealing music she has yet to release in her career, stayed tuned for ‘Writing to Home’.
