In the artist's words:

ELSA - that's the four-piece band of singer and songwriter Elsa Steixner. Her second album "JUMP!" tells a story with subtle nuances and great emotionality. These are songs that move between catchiness and enigma, between intuition and musical finesse. All four musicians have a sound jazz education (Academy of the Arts, NL) - but their own music cannot be reduced to one genre. Their sound moves confidently between the poles of art-pop, folk, blues and improvisational openness. Organic arrangements meet airy melodies, electronic textures meet acoustic warmth - a sound language that remains emotionally accessible without being predictable. The band has received several awards since its formation, including the Start Scholarship from the Federal Ministry of Music (AT), the Audience Award at the Avignon Jazz Festival (FR) and the Sparda Jazz Award (DE). The band released their second album JUMP! in 2025, with which they have been touring Europe ever since. This was followed by concert appearances at renowned venues such as the Porgy & Bess, the Wiener Konzerthaus, the Wiener Festwochen and recordings at Abbey Road Studios London.
