David Saenz, known professionally as
ELeNA, was born in Los Angeles,
California, and raised by Ecuadorian
parents. His early years were marked
by a deep immersion in music,
learning to play drums, guitar, and
sing from a young age. At 18, David
moved to San Francisco California
with a dream, to pursue a career in
music as a singer-songwriter,
producer, and audio engineer.

In January 2020, David launched his
new project,"ELeNA," assembling a
talented ensemble of musicians from
the Bay Area, each hailing from
different parts of Latin America.

This diverse cultural background is
evident in their music, which is rich
with a blend of influences and styles.
Lyrically, ELeNA addresses global
social, political, and ecological issues,
as well as personal relationships and
love.
