December 8, 2024Talented Artist I Would Work With Again
Elis played cello for my recent wedding in Dallas, TX. I would (and plan to) hire her again without question. She is such a talented artist and the music she played was key to our ceremony. She took three Spanish song requests that my wife wanted and learned to play them specifically for our wedding. The other music she played was so tasteful, ranging from soft and romantic music to upbeat and fun spins on Hip Hip, RnB, etc. She herself had a cool style and I know my wife and I appreciated the contribution she made to our wedding. Our other guests asked for her information to work with her in the future. She was kind, respectful, and communicated well with us.

Additional booking notes
Normally I don't require too much if I play acoustic cello.
If I play electric cello, I have my own cables and speakers. In addition, I have my stand with my iPad to read my music.

Influences and inspiration
I have many influences because I belong to a family of musicians.
My older brother is a classical pianist and my other brother is a drummer. My father was a bass player.
I grow up listening a lot of jazz, classical music and Latin music because I am originally from Havana, Cuba. I love soul and R/B music too.
