Elyse Saunders is a 23 year old recording artist originally from Peterborough, Ontario, currently residing in the Toronto area where she is rapidly making her mark on the country music scene. She has worked with some of the most talented people in the industry as seen on her current album where she worked and recorded with legendary hit songwriter Cyril Rawson (Lisa Brokop, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Reba McEntire, Keith Urban and others). A few trips to Nashville saw the recording of her debut album whom she also shared the recording space with musicians who've worked with all of the greats in country music. Elyse notes that, "It was a surreal moment to be recording in music city with these people who have worked with everyone who is anyone in country music, to know that they were playing on my CD was a thrill." A down to earth moment for Elyse is when she states, "They were all so nice too... they saw me the same as anyone else they've worked with and that meant a lot to me."
The album was a huge success on Canadian country radio where she received major air play for her 3 chart-topping singles on the “CMN Charts” Top 100 Cancountry Hits; “Nobody’s Watchin’”, “More of That” and her most recent single “Bittersweet”. Her music has been successful not only on Canadian radio but overseas in Japan, Australia, The Netherlands, Spain, UK and the U.S. The success wasn't only shared by many radio stations but by the website "Ourstage" for upcoming artists from all genres across the world. Based on fans of the artist voting, Elyse made it to #1 for her song "Nobody Watchin'" in the Country Channel and #1 for her song "What's Stoppin' You" in the Alternative-Country Channel. Some of Elyse’s other accomplishments include opening for Canadian country artist Deric Ruttan at the esteemed Festival of Lights with a crowd of over 10 000 people. From this she was then given the opportunity to be a feature artist in front of her own crowd of 5 000 people.
Currently she’s perfecting her skills as a songwriter where she is heading back and forth between Nashville and her home writing towards a new project. She feels that the next album will be able to showcase even more of her many talents and sounds. In the meantime she continues to perform in Toronto at various club and throughout Ontario at festivals, jamborees, concerts, fundraisers and more with her band. As well as writing and performing she is regularly working with a team in developing towards a new project. Elyse is no stranger to consistency, hard work and dedication. Along with her unique talent and abilities, Elyse has what it takes to make it in the industry and will only continue to rise to the top!
