Elizabeth Inglese of YES Music Productions

Elizabeth Inglese is a powerhouse in Seattle’s alternative live music scene and the co-owner of YES Music Productions, a promotion company dedicated to bringing high-quality live music experiences to fans of alt-electronic, post punk and goth music. In just three short years, Elizabeth’s passion and vision have propelled YES Music Productions to the forefront of the scene, producing national and international tours and supporting regional artists across some of Seattle's most iconic independent venues, including Clock-Out Lounge, Madame Lou’s, The Central Saloon, El Corazon, and Substation.

Her ability to strategically align emerging artists with larger acts has been instrumental in helping them grow their audience. For Elizabeth, the reward is in watching the crowd become fully immersed in the music, sharing in the joy and energy that live performances bring.

Beyond music, Elizabeth wears many hats—she’s a visual designer for local government in Seattle, a strategic communications manager in the U.S. military reserve, and a volunteer at a regional animal sanctuary. With an impressive academic background that includes an MA in Communication Arts, a BA in Multimedia Arts, and an AA in Fine Arts, she brings a unique blend of creativity and strategy to everything she does.

Her journey from fan to promoter is a testament to the power of passion and persistence—building connections with talent buyers, bookers, and production specialists up and down the West Coast to turn a love of music into a thriving business.

As well, the absolute love and support she has for the live music scene in general is a beacon of light for any artist... A true inspiration.
