Maggie Elysse is a pop artist who writes about real life experiences of life, love and loss. She can often be found performing covers and originals from behind her piano, guitar, or the microphone in the recording studio. Her songwriting is an infectiously melodic blend of pop and heartfelt lyrics. Maggie Elysse released her latest single ‘Worlds Apart on the 5th August 2023 on all platforms which is a chill pop track with dreamy harmonies and textures to draw you into the story.
Success with several major songwriting prizes for young artists over the past few years has spurred her passion for music. She was awarded a coveted spot in the Big Sky Girls Songwriting mentorship program in 2018 and was named the overall winner of the USQ Get Songwriting prize in both 2018 and 2019. Maggie Elysse has studied with songwriting masters such as Pat Pattison, professor of lyric writing and poetry at Berklee College of Music, Mark Sholtez, acclaimed Australian singer-songwriter and music educator, and Francesca de Valence, Australian artist, award-winning songwriter, speaker, and founder & CEO of I Heart Songwriting Club.
