Elan Salcedo

Vocalista, escritora

Elan began singing and dancing as soon as she could crawl. As a natural born entertainer... she began her career singing for one of the toughest crowds... her mother's Puerto Rican gay and female friends. At 12 years old, a Sunset Park, neighborhood friend, "Ox" introduced Elan, to an emerging successful Brooklyn, producer named, "Todd Terry". Upon their first meeting, Todd immediately offered the singer/songwriter a production agreement. Elan was on her way. Soon after, her first single "Here's Your Hat" was released on "Freeze Records". Proudly enough, the B-Side to her single "Love Change", was recorded with a young and well known Latino singer, "Marc Anthony". Her stint at Freeze records was a short lived one... since the company folded. This was not the end of young Elan's career. At 15, Strictly Rhythm records came calling and offered Elan her second Contract. Her single, "Better Than you", produced by "Charlie Baby", soon followed and charted the Dance Charts. Elan, traveled and did what she knows best... get a crowd moving! Strictly Rhythm Records, was sold to Time Warner and Elan was again found herself without a home. After taking some much needed time off from the music biz, to enter "Life's School Of Training", Elan has emerged with a more intense desire to entertain the world. Her Puerto Rican, Nuyorican roots can be felt throughout her music and lyric. Her style is infectious. With your first encounter with Elan... you find yourself completely captivated and mesmerized by this Latin Beauty's life force! At 25 years old, Elan is ready to conquer the music world by injecting her sound and vitality. Her third record deal, is surely on the horizons... and you know what they say... "Three is a charm"!
