Elisa Melendez

Elisa Meléndez was born and raised in Puerto Rico by way of Miami, where she discovered her love of the stage—first as an actress, then as a rock singer/songwriter with her band Crimson Echoes. A lifelong learner and consummate nerd (ask her about her bowling and Trivial Pursuit tattoos!), she channeled her passion for music and video games into a Ph.D. in Sociology along with careers as a college instructor and video game marketer. Elisa now enjoys lending her bilingual voice and crimson curls to everything from audiobooks to commercials. She currently resides in Dallas, TX where she makes music with her guitar player husband and black cat on background vocals.
