Singer- Songwriter Elisa Fiorillo Dease (a.k.a. Elisa Fiorillo), who has credits to her name including: Top 10 Single "Who Found Who" with Jellybean Benitez... Top 26 Single "On The Way Up" that she co-wrote with Prince... has toured with Savage Garden ... and is currently a member of Prince's band The NPG, teams up with 20-year-old guitar phenom, and Nashville session player, Tyler Reese to form The Dease & Reese Project.

The first full-length CD for The D&R Project, “Life in 20”, will be released on June 3, 2014. The first single to be released to radio May 31, 2014, “All Over the World”, was written by Dease during a very turbulent flight while on tour with the NPG. Reese was able to interpret the song with aspects of traditional, acoustically based, R&B and a rock edge.

Dease was first introduced to the young virtuoso from Berklee when she received a guitar track from Reese to write lyrics to. Longtime friend & producer Jeff Silverman (former producer and lead guitarist for Rick Springfield) made the introduction. After some initial collaboration, Reese flew out to Las Vegas and the duo commenced an intensive writing collaboration resulting in “Life in 20”. The goal became to cut a live, acoustic album filled with Pop, R&B and Jazz-infused flavors into one melting pot. Not only does the music work, but the two personalities together on stage have a very special chemistry and charm. You will be entertained and inspired by The Dease & Reese Project. All ages are welcome to climb aboard and enjoy the music and the ride.
