TASTE IT: The Elysanta Creative Studio Sessions

A Soundtrack for the Creative Process, Born Inside the World of Creativos Coffee Co.

At Creativos Coffee Co., we have always believed that coffee is more than a drink. For us, it is part of the creative ritual. It is there before the shoot begins, while the files are loading, during the late-night edit, and in those quiet moments when an idea is still trying to become something real.

That is why our newest collaboration feels so natural.

Today, we are talking with Eli S. Santa, also known as Elysanta, the founder of Creativos Coffee Co., about the release of TASTE IT: The Elysanta Creative Studio Sessions, a new music project created as a soundtrack for photographers, designers, editors, artists, producers, and creative professionals who need the right atmosphere to work.

This is not an album designed to take over the room.

It was made to live in the background.

“It’s a soundtrack for your next project,” Eli explains. “Something you can play during a shoot, in the studio, while you’re setting up lights, organizing gear, editing photos, or simply trying to gather your thoughts before starting creative work.”

There is music we play to entertain ourselves. Music we play to sing along. And then there is music we play because we need to enter a specific mental space.

TASTE IT was born from that third place.

The album was created with the working creative in mind. The kind of person who needs music, but not distraction. Atmosphere, but not noise. Energy, but not anxiety. Something that supports the creative process without interrupting the conversations happening around it.

It is the kind of music you can play while speaking with a client, directing an assistant, preparing a set, reviewing a gallery, styling a product, adjusting a camera angle, or moving quietly through the rhythm of a long studio day.

The intention behind the project is simple: to help creatives enter a state of focus.

Not through pressure.

Not through intensity.

But through calm, texture, rhythm, and space.

Sonically, TASTE IT feels organic, ambient, and immersive. There are moments that almost feel underwater, like the sound is wrapping around you and creating a soft layer of isolation from the outside world. Eli describes it as “a kind of auditory compression” that helps the mind feel safe, relaxed, and focused.

The percussion is present, but never aggressive. The melodies move with intention, almost like a massage for the brain. The album is not trying to push the listener into productivity. It is trying to help them flow.

For Eli, the project comes from a very personal place.

“I have a hard time concentrating,” he says. “A lot of times when I’m editing or trying to move creative work forward, I need some kind of external support to help me collect my thoughts. I often play this type of music to get into rhythm, quiet the mental noise, and stay with the task long enough to finish it well.”

That personal need became the foundation for the project.

TASTE IT is for the creatives who love what they do, but still have days when their mind is running in too many directions. It is for the photographer trying to stay locked in after a long shoot. The designer working through revisions. The video editor deep inside a timeline. The entrepreneur preparing a launch. The artist who needs the room to feel right before the work can begin.

In that sense, this album fits perfectly inside the larger world of Creativos Coffee Co.

Creativos Coffee Co. has always been about the modern creative lifestyle: the beautiful, chaotic, funny, intense, emotional, sometimes sleep-deprived life of people who make things for a living. The coffee, the music, the visuals, and the stories all come from the same place.

They are tools for the creative journey.

This release also marks an important moment for Eli’s broader creative ecosystem. TASTE IT: The Elysanta Creative Studio Sessions helps introduce a new stage for Elysanta Creative, a platform focused on producing educational material for photographers and creatives in areas like business, photography technique, mindset, and creative life.

After 20 years as a professional commercial photographer, Eli sees this new stage as part of a bigger mission: to share what he has learned, open useful conversations, and create resources that help other creatives grow with more clarity, more intention, and more peace.

The album is produced by El Viaje Creativo Productions and released under Creativos Coffee Co., bringing together music, coffee, photography, and creative education into one experience.

And of course, the connection to coffee is not accidental.

For many creatives, coffee is already part of the process. It sits next to the laptop during edits. It is poured before a client call. It is brewed before the first light stand goes up. It becomes part of the rhythm.

That is why this soundtrack feels like the natural companion to a bag of Creativos Coffee Co.

Whether you are brewing our Colombian coffee, our Guatemala selection, or our Latin America blend, TASTE IT was made to be played in that same space where the coffee is working, the files are open, and the next idea is slowly taking shape.

More than a music release, this project is an invitation.

An invitation to create with more presence.

To build better atmospheres around your work.

To take your creative process seriously without making it feel heavy.

To give your mind the support it needs to stay in the room.

As Eli puts it, “I hope people download it, listen to it, and enjoy it. But more than anything, I hope it helps them create.”

TASTE IT: The Elysanta Creative Studio Sessions is now available wherever you stream music.
