BRIEF BIO
β’ elise was born in bearwood england to two loving parents
john & marianne taylor. john being much older than marianne a former
hippie and touring musician turned music teacher. marianne an artist and spiritualist.
to constantly question and never settle. also a cultivated space that their love of music and the arts. elise was exposed to views and ideas that more often than not are not understood by the main populace.
β’ constantly traveled mainly due to both their parents
desire to find some new inspiration and to escape the static nature of life. elise's parents constantly viewed their lives as an adventure. a trait which was carried on to elise.
β’ has lived in several places across americas and the uk from the time she was twelve. has lived in phoenix , utah, washington state, california, and currently new york.
β’ went to nyu to study music education, wanted to teach
others the joys of music. its there where she met the other members of monarchs.
β’ is generally the forgotten member of the group by fans mainly due to their nature as a keyboardist. nobody really notices the person behind the keys with a mic.
THE CORNER STONE OF MONARCHS
compared to the others in monarchs elise has a gentler personality. they consider themselves to be the anchor of the band. the level head, the voice of reason when everything seems to go to shit. it seems elise is just seen as the girl on the side with the keyboards more than anything. though despite that she never complains and plays their part well. the keys depending on how they're implemented can either clash with the music or create something harmonious .
elise would consider themselves to be one of those more sensitive players. she doesn't just bang keys and notes to see whatever works, instead she plays it by feeling. getting a feel for the song and trying to work with it rather than against it .although to the fans elise may seem as unimportant her keys are another part of what brings monarchs their unique sound. the way it brings out another color and life to the song to contrast against roxie's vocals. while most of the time they are seen on the far side of the stage with their keyboard elise has much more talent to offer.
besides being the band's primary keyboardist elise can also play guitar, write lyrics, and even contribute backing vocals. in this way she's seen as the hidden gem of the band. and while she is more than content with her role in monarchs there is a part of them that often years for more. though there's this fear, not many people make it after splitting from their band. plus she's not as charismatic or charming as roxie. in their eyes it would never work. with all their drama and scandal the music makes it worth it. with their fourth album in the works elise wonders how much time until everything bursts again.
HEADCANONS + FAST FACTS
β’ elise is the mediator in monarchs, compared to the other band members she'd rather take life as it comes and not get involved in conflict
β’ she's a cat person, owns two cats
β’ after the band has some personal conflicts elise offers them all a healing session to clear any negative energies, it usually works. most of the time anyways
β’ elise would say the organ was their first love, while not classically trained they did recieve lessons from their father
β’ speaks with a distinctive birmingham accent from growing up
in the area
β’ with the money from monarchs she opened a small pyschic shop & studio where she sells crystals, tarot decks, etc. but also a place where she can conduct readings and do deity work.
β’ is an apprentice under the goddess hectate, has an altar and offerings to use while contacting hectate.
β’ is probably the more approachable of the six members of monarch, appears to be quite homely. genuine a good head on their shoulders and not much of an ego.
β’ looks up to other great keyboardists in rock like christine mcvie, jon lord, ray manzaek, john paul jones, etc.
β’ their favorite albums include Fleetwood Mac's Rumors, Led Zeppelin IV, Beatles Rubber Soul among others
β’ grew up listening to a lot of classic rock and hard rock influenced by their father & mother.
β’ practices wicca and paganism, is known for keeping a deck of tarot cards on hand and a crystal pendulum in hand.
WANTED CONNECTIONS
β’ mentor - perhaps an older more paternal figure who could offer elise some guidance as she navigates the music industry? someone who looks after them, advises them, and in general looks out for them.
β’ assistant - elise would consider themselves to be fairly kind . they have no need for an assistant and is seen as being far too nice to order anyone around. this would be an awkward relationship. in which said person wants to do their job and help, but elise can't bring themselves to let someone. .to all the hard work alone.
β’ collaborators / industry friends - i figure that elise might not always be playing keys for monarchs. sometimes they'd likely do session work for other artists in the label or help someone write lyrics and produce a track .
β’ role model- someone who elise looks up to and admires? doesn't have to be a musician in the label, can also be an employee. but overall someone who inspires elise to be better.
β’ other ideas? i'm
open to any other ideas if you have them or if anything about elise inspires you!

QUICK FIRE!
full name: jasmine simone banks
preferred name: jazzy
nicknames: jaz, simon , tenacious
age: 24 ( twenty-three)
d.o.b. : september 5th 1999
hometown: la county
gender: non-binary
pronouns: they/ she / he
occupation: vocalist in sovereign
education: los angeles city college
BRIEF BIO
β’ born in la county california to aaliyah banks and marcus wright. their mother was quite young when she had them just barely finished with highschool. though despite that she had no regrets about carrying a child. she saw jasmine as a gift.
β’ jazzy's father marcus was wrongfully accused of possesion of illegal substances. the wrong place at the wrong time. while he maintained his innocence he wound up going to jail when jazzy was around five years old.
β’ in the ten years that followed jazzy was raised alone by their mother aailyah. aaliyah often worked two jobs to keep them both afloat the whole time never losing hope that the two of them would be able to see marcus as a free man.
β’ during the time that marcus was jailed and aaliyah raising them alone she had found solace in religion, it is through that jazzy found their love of singing and music.
β’ from the age of ten she began singing gospel. from their jazzy also looked into their mother's old records and found music from the greats such as aretha franklin & tina turner. they also grew to love 90s acts with tlc & en vogue becoming their favorites.
β’ eventually by the time jazzy was fifteen their father marcus was freed from jail and the family briefly reunited for a short period of time. just a few months after marcus was freed aaliyah dies in a tragic car accident.
β’ this leaves jazzy gutted and the rest of their remaining teenage years under the car of their father marcus. marcus tries his best to atone for his past and it is during these years jazzy sees that their father is not the man their mother said he was. he had changed a lot within a decade.
β’ after completing two years of an associate's degree at los angeles city college jazzy hears of a singing competition. at their father's urging they audition and wind up as a member of sovereign.
SOVEREIGN
when jazzy met the girls of sovereign it was clear to them that there was already a close bond between the two members emmy and ximena. though that didn't seem to bother them much. they tried to get on with everyone as best as they could. it was slow couple of months in the beginning, trying to fathom that they were no longer trying to compete against each other as solo artists in a competition but rather as a group. things looked up for the girls and eventually they wound up signed with revolution records.
two full studio albums later and a third arriving soon thereafter came some ugly drama and feuding between the members. it was a tumultous time which eventually resulted in the departure of the fourth member of the group and for them to continue on a three piece. after taking a well deserved three month break from recording and the public eye to heal from the aftermath it was back to the studio for the fourth album. the passing of ximena's grandmother was sudden and lead to the album being halted to give them all time to process things.
during that time jazzy finds themselves flying back out to la to spend some time with their father. truthfully there was a part of them was tired with the seemingly endless amount of drama that came with being part of the band. though perhaps the music made it worth it. soon enough the trio wind up regrouping in new york in an effort to finally finish that fourth album that was delayed after so long.
HEADCANONS & FAST FACTS !
β’ if they weren't a vocalist in sovereign jazzy would likely be a lawyer striving to change the system within the system.
β’ jazzy is percieved as being arrogant and selfish. but perhaps that's their way of keeping other people at arm's length.
β’ they're quite difficult to get to know and generally doesn't like to dwell on the past too much. rather they're someone who'd rather move on and get things over with.
β’ jazzy's idea of their own gender is generally quite fluid, however in terms of labels they identify with the non-binary label as they see themselves as not fitting within the cis binaries
β’ although jazzy will accept any pronouns they usually refer and default to they/them.
β’ during the time where sovereign was on a three month break jazzy learned electric guitar. they got inspired by slash of guns & roses.
β’ jazzy owns a doberman pinscher
WANTED CONNECTIONS !
β’ haters- any fans or people who generally don't like jazzy. believe that they don't deserve to be in sovereign. possibly blame them for the departure of their fourth member. they're definitely not the publics favorite.
β’ ride or die- at times jazzy can feel left out mainly due to how close the other two are. perhaps they can have a person like that for them. someone who sticks by them and who jazzy feels they can trust in confide in.
β’ rivals - someone who is jealous of jazzy's sucess? possibly a fellow musician in the label. these two characters never seem to get along. when they're both in the room together it will implode.
β’ other ideas? - any other ideas you can come up with while reading jazzy's bio i am all ears.
