When do childhood dreams become a reality? Good question… for most of us, they don’t. The “dreams” we hatch innocently as kids to be movie stars, pop artists or even the once-popular cowboy slowly dissipate over time like a smoky exhale out of the Marlboro Man’s mouth.
Not Ellise Gitas. She’s going for it. First when she was a little girl performing for home video cameras. Then when she decided to finish high-school early and skip college to move to L.A. to pursue her dream.
Now, with her selection on the Uproxx original series, Uncharted, she’s gotten an opportunity to work with a Grammy-nominated producer to record her original song, “Break Down,” a track written about her relationship with her mom, an Iraqi immigrant.
You can see the fruits of that labor in the performance above. Watch, it’s catchy as all hell.
