Lily Elise born February 20, 1991 in Berkeley, California is an R&B/Pop singer and a former contestant on the first season of NBC’s The Voice. Elise is a founding member and contributing songwriter with The Beat Advocate, an active alternative R&B Hip Hop band at University of Southern California. She has worked in the music industry as a studio reference vocalist and a backup vocalist for various up-and-coming acts.

Elise auditioned for the 2011 reality competition series The Voice (U.S. TV series), featuring celebrity judges/coaches Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, Christina Aguilera, and Blake Shelton. In the second episode, she performed “If I Ain’t Got You” by Alicia Keys, advancing to the Battle Rounds as one of eight members on Christina Aguilera’s
