Hello, my name is Elena, with an accent on the first "E"
Because accents matter when you write lyrics and so do notes, rests, chords, and repetitions.
I am a lyricist which means I do not only write nice and evocative texts but I write them to best fit into your songs. My aim is to bind the power of words with the power of music and make your songs super powerful. For this reason, you'll frequently hear me talking about accents, riffs, hooks, melodic and harmonic structures, because the lyricist is a musician that plays words.
But what makes lyrics great is a story. Think about your favorite songs, no matter what genre, you like them because they have a powerful message, an interesting story to tell. As a songwriter you may or may not have already decided what your song talks about, no worries in both cases I’m here for you.
It's great fun, let's play together.
At the moment most of my lyrics cannot be made publicly available, waiting for the songs to be published.

A few words from the people I've worked with
Elena is an absolute pleasure to work with, being very responsive to correspondence and consummately professional. Her gift as a wordsmith is deep, focused and wonderful. She has co-written an outstanding song for one of our label artists and we are privileged to co-write with her in the future. Thank you, Elena!

I've worked with Elena on some songs of mine that did not find the right form, magically with Elena's words they have earned their identity, the greatest satisfaction being that the lyrics now convey a stronger and deep message while maintaining the musicality of the first draft!!! Thanks Elena

Elena is an amazing lyricist. She is an extremely patient person and very understanding. She has a great connection in connecting with your story, feelings and is very passionate about what she does. I have really enjoyed working with her not only as a friend but as a singer songwriter myself. I hope that we continue to make more inspiring songs together

Been working with Elena on many different projects. She always brings efficacy together with passion and positive vibes for the whole team. She is punctual and reliable, when she sets a deadline you can count on that. I am always impressed by the creativity she shows through her lyrics, even when the song brings a very specific concept

Elena has transposed the lyrics of my songs from Italian into English keeping them accurate to the original meaning, making sure that the words kept the same groove and musicality and they worked perfectly with the arrangements. Elena has great skills and competences in her work but above all, she has been able to relate to me to better understand what my needs and goals were. Highly recommended.

Elena is an amazing songwriter. I worked with her on a few singles and I can't wait to write with her again! She tries to understand the exact concept you have in your mind and it's incredible how the lyrics she writes just describe your feelings. Empathic, hard-working and available every time I asked her for some help. I would definitely recommend working with her, you will be amazed.
