Elena Rose Biography Eléna Rose GENERAL INFORMATION Married Name: Ellen Rozsa Husband: William Rozsa Children: One daughter, Jennifer Rozsa Musically influenced by: Madonna Ellen was born and raised in Brooklyn NY learning how to survive city life. In the summer time, she spent her days with friends at Brighton Beach and nights at Coney Island. Some summers were spent with her family in Monticello at Bungalow colonies. This is where she first heard performers at shows and fell in love with singing. Her dad performed for 10 years as a semi- professional singer and was an inspiration to her. Ellen entered various singing contests and did some back up singing, but time went on and she attended college for the sciences, got married and was busy raising a family. Singing took a back burner but remained a yearning passion. One day as she was listening to songs on the radio, she decided to purchase a karaoke CD of one of the artists and record a karaoke version of a popular song. She played the recorded song in the car on the way to and from work and would sing along with it remembering her singing as a lifetime dream. It was around winter holiday time when miracles sometimes happen. Not knowing where to go from here and wanting to record her own songs, she asked God for a holiday wish to please point her in the right direction and put her on the path with people who could help her realize a lifelong dream. That week, on Friday night Dec.15, 2006 around 5:00 P.M., she stopped at the Bank of America in Bergenfield NJ where she lives. She would usually park and go into the bank but this night for some reason she went through the drive through ATM machine. Her recorded CD was playing in the car, as the window was open. A car was next to her at the other machine with a gentleman inside. She smiled and waved hello and could tell he was listening to the CD trying to determine who was singing. She looked over to the gentleman & through the car window said proudly That is me singing. He looked through his car window and said That is you? I am record producer. Ellen was so excited she almost drove her car into the ATM machine and a dream was born. Urban became her mentor & friend and produced this new artists first attempt at her own CD. As Eléna Rose states: The rest will be up to the Good Lord & history. Produced by Ira G. Craig aka Urban Hot Master Tracks Productionz; IGC Enterprises Inc , Teaneck NJ. Hitbound Records
