Elise Trouw
was born to a South African father and a mother from New York in the very last year of the millennium. She was raised on The Carpenters, Green Day, and 80s new wave. Her music inspiration first occurred at six years old when she heard the haunting piano melody in “My Immortal” by Evanescence during a five-hour plane ride as she played it repeatedly. Trouw immediately begged her parents for piano lessons and her musical journey began, usually practicing at five in the morning before school each day much to her parents' dismay.

Life changed when her family bought the game Rockband for Xbox. After mastering the drums to The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ "Dani California” on Expert Mode, Trouw was determined to convince her parents that she now needed drum lessons. Honing her musical skills through The School of Rock and playing in her high school jazz band and the hard work of 10,000+ hours of practicing, Trouw has built a massive fanbase through her self-produced YouTube videos, social media platforms and touring both as a solo looping artist and with her band. She has performed on The Jimmy Kimmel Show and was commissioned to shoot a video for the Amazon Prime Academy Award nominated picture “The Sound of Metal” which also featured Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and Paul Raci, co-star of the movie.

Recently, Trouw had the honor of filling in on drums for Seal at one of his shows and has recently written with Andy Summers from The Police, Finneas, Hall of Fame Songwriter Steve Dorff and is currently working with Grammy Award winning producer Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves/Golden Hour) for new music to be released in the fall of 2022.

Jillian Dawn is a 24-year-old indie pop singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Rising from Mansfield, MA, she now lives in Nashville where her style has evolved to dance-driven indie-pop and flares of country and rock. Currently working alongside Nashville’s brightest talent, Jillian recently kickstarted a new chapter with the pop-anthem of the late summer “Watered Down,” and her debut as an original cast member of She Believed She Could, a Nashville-based musical revue. Since her graduation from University of Miami Frost School of Music, Jillian has toured with headlining acts and hit festival stages around the country, all while preparing for her next musical project due this year.
