Born and raised in South Minneapolis, Elena was singing before she could talk and dancing before she could walk. At seven years old she was inspired by LeAnn Rime's rendition of "Amazing Grace", which made her realize she wanted to pursue music. Not long thereafter she began her training in circus arts, and took to the stage a year later. At age 11 she began her training in Jazz and Hip hop, and fell in love with the aerial fabric. She has been in love with the stage ever since. Her free spirit has taken her around the globe. Through her music and aerial artistry she desires to inspire and uplift those who cross her path.
