TOCCA is a Brooklyn-based musical project created by singer-songwriter Risa Elledge. She collaborated with Alex Zhu, a guitarist and producer (Future Islands, Bambara), on this debut release. They enlisted Chris Meyer (Electric Lady Studios, Water Sound) to co-produce and engineer the record in Princeton, NJ at Zhutopia Studios. A cast of talented musicians recorded live instrumentation on the album. This intensely collaborative spirit is a testament to the healing power of music, and a reminder that songs transcend human language. Risa Elledge is a native of Houston, who moved to Austin at 18 to start her musical career. After playing numerous shows, including Austin Psych Fest’s Levitation, and releasing a string of Soundcloud hits, she decided to pursue her artistry in Brooklyn. Risa also channels her passion into her fashion designs and other forms of multi-media art.
