Living in a border area, where she had the opportunity to listen to different languages and experience various cultures, was important for Elisa's later inspirations and helped her develop the ability to sing in multiple languages. Her early influences includeBjörk,PJ Harvey,Tori Amos,Aretha FranklinandElla Fitzgerald,[6]and she has creditedRudyard KiplingandJim MorrisonofThe Doorsas lyrical inspirators.[7]She began writing songs at the age of 11 and later played in several local bands.

In September 2000 Elisa recorded her first song in Italian, "Luce (Tramonti a nord est)".The song was initially written in English, but an Italian lyric was written in collaboration with fellow singer Zucchero. The song was performed at the 2001Sanremo Festivalsupported by the Solis String Quartet, and won her theCritics' Award,Interpreter of the Yearas well as the competition altogether. Both Italian and English versions were later included in a re-release ofAsile's World.In November she was awarded three prizes at theItalian Music Awards:Best Female Artist,Best Single(Luce) andBest Song,as well as taking home theBest Italian Artistat the2001 MTV Europe Music Awardsin Frankfurt.

The single was accompanied by a self-directed video which won thePremio Video ItalianoforBest Female Artist.In the summer of 2005, Elisa appeared at theLive 8concert in Rome alongsideZucchero,Luciano Ligabueand other major Italian artists.
