Meet Vanessa

COO & Co-Founder

Vanessa's love for music began at a very early age, her family shares that she was singing before she could speak. Throughout elementary, middle school & high school she was always involved in choirs as well as discovering a love for song writing and live performance. This passion ultimately lead her to pursue a music degree at Central Michigan University. Under the guidance of her professors, she was able to expand her repertoire in classical music by performing pieces in French and German, as well as being casted in the University's Italian Opera, "Suor Angelica." She credits her college professor, Dr.Dewald for encouraging her to learn the techniques of classical music to further support her love of R&B/Jazz music - stating "She (Dr. Dewald) taught me how to learn and appreciate the rules so that I could break them correctly, learning how to sing in a healthy way to support my instrument as long as possible has left a lasting impact on me." 

 

Vanessa quickly fell in love with the recording studio experience when her and her husband Aaron began to write & release music at Moore Media Records on CMU's campus. After the passing of her father during her 4th year at university, Vanessa grew an awareness of the importance of capturing memories and her heart for ELEV8 is to do just that. Whether it's capturing a moment in time through song or audiobook, the focus on legacy is one that carries the most emphasis.
