Biography

Elyssa is a bi-lingual (English and French) 16 year old urban pop singer/songwriter. While classically trained and having performed in operas with the Canadian Opera Company, she began writing and recording her own songs while in her early teens. Her songwriting talent and great vocal abilities have caught the attention of a number of producers who encouraged her to record a number of songs in Atlanta with Phil Tan and Marcus Kane. She is now promoting her songs on air across Canada with a view to expanding her audience to the United States and abroad. She recently recorded "I Dare You" with Canadian pop star Danny Fernandes (in both English and French). I Dare You will be ready in October, 2009 across Canada. Elyssa and her band plan to perform before larger audiences during the next year. See also www.myspace.com/elyssacg
