So here’s the thing. I travel all over the world and get to watch mostly riders and their horses going around an arena. But every once in a while I meet up with a person who draws me in from having a totally different though just as captivating talent. I met and got to listen to Elizabeth the other day during my training sessions in the Toronto area. Though her day job at the moment is in the stables, I predict right here and now that this girl is going to be a big star, provided she gets the chance. Sadly, American Idol has not translated so well in Canada to produce the stars we have seen in our country, so I’m hoping that one of you, my loyal readers, who just may have some pull in the music industry, will see and hear Elizabeth and give her the big break she deserves!  Take a listen below.

Bio

Elizabeth began singing at the age of seven - training classically until the age of eighteen. During that time she completed two seasons with the youth chorus of the Canadian Opera Company, as well as lead roles in various professional theatre productions, including “Annie” in the play of the same name, and “Dorothy” in “The Wizard of Oz” for the Sunshine Festival Theatre company and the Stirling Festival Theatre Company, respectively.

She has soloed twice at Massey Hall in Toronto, performing the Canadian Premiere of “When You Believe” from the Dreamworks animated movie “The Prince of Egypt” and Gabriel Faure’s “Pie Jesu”. After living and performing in England for two years, she has returned to Canada to write and record with producer Rob Wells, in Toronto.
