Influences

Mariah Carey, Evanescence, Whitney Houston, Pink, Lady GaGa,
One of Elena Vogt’s earliest childhood memories finds her at Carnegie Hall in New York City, and at age three, attending a performance of “Madame Butterfly” that was conducted by her famous grandfather, Vincent La Selva, a world renowned symphony and opera conductor who was knighted by the President of Italy. Two decades later, the multi-talented 22 year old vocal powerhouse is making her own mark in music, drawing on her dual passions for singing and dance/choreography to emerge with “Breathe Slow,” her highly anticipated debut on Dauman Music.

The infectious track, a dance revamp of British pop singer Alesha Dixon’s 2009 Top 5 UK hit, was produced by Adam Korbesmeyer and has been remixed thus far by Klubjumpers (Mariah Carey, Pussycat Dolls, Britney Spears) and the L.A. based tandem of DJ Drew G and Brian Cua, both Billboard chart topping producers who have individually and collectively mixed songs for Ke$ha, Ludacris vs. Afrojack, Jason Derulo, Lady Gaga, Ashanti, Solange, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Deborah Cox, Mary J. Blige and David Archuleta. “Breathe Slow” has already received rave reviews from the editor of DJ Times Magazine. Elena has had two previous tracks remixed by Klubjumpers, “Taste of You” and “Heaven,” both of which became popular videos on be.

A native of West Orange, New Jersey who grew up in and around NYC, Elena—who cites Christina, Britney, Whitney and Mariah as her chief vocal influences--has been building towards this breakthrough as a dance artist for a long time. As a young girl, she belted out Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” so often and so powerfully that her mother decided it was time for singing lessons—only the classical approach taken by Elena’s teachers didn’t fit the budding singer’s style. As she whimsically recalls, she “kept singing my favorite songs in the bathroom” and at 15, she began writing songs. Her beautiful pop ballad “All My Life” caught the attention of a writer from CNN and Fox TV and ultimately connected her to Jon Werking, a producer who worked with Donna Summer, ‘NSYNC and others. He professionally recorded Elena’s first songs, setting her on her distinct career path.

Passing up a full-ride volleyball scholarship from Polytechnic Institute of NYU to pursue music full time after graduating from a private high school, the singer joined ASCAP at 18 when her song “Dream About You”—which she penned at 16—received airplay on numerous smaller market terrestrial stations and internet radio. That song has also been a popular download on iTunes and has led her to have over 26,000 “Likes” on her artist page.

Elena’s track “Taste of You” has been featured regularly on Microsoft Windows Media Guide as a free download and was also picked as a featured song on the Heineken Ultimate Playlist for five consecutive weeks. It is also in heavy rotation on the licensed online radio station NRRradio (among other online outlets) and is being spun in nightclubs in U.S. cities like Cleveland (where the singer currently lives) and NYC and throughout Europe. Elena has also received an achievement award “Best of 100” for maintaining a spot in the Top 100 in Pop for one month on an MTV partner site. She has performed throughout her local region in New Jersey and was the only solo artist among 15 bands to perform at a Rock For Charity event in front of 2,000 people at Colston Hall in England.
