Singer, composer, pianist, and artist from diverse cultural background, Elika considers herself a world citizen. Her music blends eastern and western musical styles and is inspired by the lyrics of the poetic and profound treasures of the Baha’i writings, exploring deep subjects such as life, love, family, difficulties, the soul, afterlife, spirituality, and the progress of humanity. Accomplishing the near impossible, Elika takes these subjects and creates music that is sophisticated and yet breathes with simple, heart warming melodies and soaring harmonies that swell over the lyrics in elegant, diverse waves lifting the listener to ever higher realms.
