Tina Turner: Elesha Paul Moses:

Elesha Paul Moses passion for singing began at just age 13. By 17 she was travelling to London to write and record with Sugarbabes management. At 18 she became a member of the girl group ‘Girls United’ performing in front of thousands, showcasing for Sony and other major record labels. From this experience Elesha went on to work alongside world famous producer and songwriter Nicky Graham, who managed & wrote songs for Bros, Let Loose, and the Nolan’s amongst many other artists. This gave her the platform to have her own songs showcased.

Elesha has performed backing vocals for artists such as, Haydon from Ultimate Chaos, Michelle Gale, and Lionel Richie. Television credits include, X Factor, The Voice, Top of the pops, The Ian Wright show, and GMTV. In 2008 Elesha travelled to Serbia to perform in the Eurovision song contest representing the United Kingdom. Backing the nations voted choice, Andy Abrahams in front of a crowd of 22,000 people and millions watching worldwide. In the same year Elesha recorded and celebrated club and commercial chart success with two number one hit records, ‘Don’t mess with my man’ and ‘if you love me’  the latter song went on to feature in the hit FOX film ‘What happens in Vegas’ starring Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher.

Elesha’s continued passion for song writing took her to Copenhagen to record her first Album working with hit producer Peter Biker. The Album was completed in just over three weeks. This led on to more television work and Elesha entered and won the London heat of a brand new T4 show ‘chancers’ where she then flew out to Houston Texas, and was mentored by Beyoncé’s Father.  

In 2010 Elesha successfully fought off thousands of applicants to get through to the final rounds of X Factor and was thrilled to reach judges houses in Louie Walsh’s over 25’s category. Matt Cardle went onto become that years winner.

With her success in the X Factor, Elesha was invited to apply for the hit BBC 1 show ‘The Voice’ in 2013. Here she became an instant hit and part of team ‘Will I Am’. She saw her way through to the battle rounds where her journey ended. This didn’t put Elesha off though, and saw her return to ‘The Voice’ in 2014 securing her a place with ‘Team Tom.’ Again Elesha performed her way through to the battle rounds, again it was not meant for her that time, but what an incredible opportunity and experience it all was!

With some time for reflection Elesha, went back to her roots. From a little girl she idolised artists such as Whitney and Tina Turner, so, decided to put together a tribute to the artists she loves. With her incredible vocals the reviews poured in, and nothing gives her more pleasure than seeing people enjoying themselves and singing along to all the vast array of songs.
