Elsa was no stranger to the power of a melody. Growing up, she would usually travel back to her hometown with her mother and along the way, her mother would put on a playlist of the songs she loved. Of the many artists, the one that stood out the most to Elsa was the Taiwanese singer and musician, Jay Chou. Her mother was a fan of his music, and she would put a few of his songs into her playlist. More than just the songs that she would listen to, Elsa was mostly moved by his lyrical talent.
