    Gypsy Elise is the rarest form of vocalist; a beautiful female contralto~ With her 3.5 octaves, and silken, throaty lower range, occasionally Milady Gypsy is mistaken for a male singer. Nothing is further from the truth! And then...you see her... it becomes crystal clear that she is not only 100% gorgeous female vocalist, she is keyboardist Ryan De Sade Way's wife and is also the very proud Mama to two beautiful children, 33 years apart!. Gypsy Elise is a force of nature, a super-charged rose to be reckoned with!

    My journey to the coveted #1 spot on the Billboard charts with my Smooth Jazz tune ‘Listen To This’ had a few stops along the way!  I had already performed all over the world, broken attendance records at Radio City Music Hall --how exciting-- performed on television and in movies, recorded an album of Great American Songbook favorites singing into Frank Sinatra's vintage microphone at Capitol Studios. 

    In addtion to writing Smooth Jazz tunes, I love creating a variety of musical styles – like Spa, Holiday, Solo Piano and standards.
