Sabine Michaela Dünser was born on 27th of June 1977 she grew up in Schaan (Liechtenstein) with her family, consisting of her parents and her younger sister Petra.
Her musical talent was discovered pretty early. She started with a training of basic music skills, containing rhytmic clapping. Later four years of flute-training followed. Already at that young age some teachers supposed she had a great musical talent that was to be encouraged.
During primary school Sabine started playing the piano, and kept playing it until her graduation. It is her piano/keyboard-playing you can hear on Elis’ CDs.
At about the same time she started singing increasingly. She sang in different choires, such as her school-choire and “Divertimentoâ€, a choire for young people in Schaan. She was a founding member of both choires. Since voice-training was very important for her choiremaster, Sabine started classical singing lessons at the age of 19. She participated in the “Liechtenstien Musical Companyâ€- version of the musical “Hair†and in addition her wish to sing in a band strengthened greatly.
In order to be in a position to study logopedics Sabine had to attend a voice-therapy because her voice had been constantly hoarse, a result of it’s excessive usage. During this therapy the reason for the hoarseness was found: nodules on Sabine’s vocal cords. This diagnosis signified a hard time for Sabine. She needed a surgery to get rid of her problem. The consequence was that she wasn’t allowed to sing for six months, her throat was physically affected, so her voice was often entirely gone in the morning and swallowing caused pain. Furthermore her studies of logopedics delayed. In the meanwhile she studied therapeutic pedagogy for a year.
When her voice was finally OK she could put her actual plan into action and studied logopedics. Later she became a speech therapist and worked in a school near her home in Triesen (Liechtenstein), where she lived until she died.
In 1999 Sabine could also realise her plans of singing in a band. Together with Pete Streit (Elis) and Oliver Falk (Erben der Schöpfung, Weltenbrand), who started the project, she founded “Erben der Schöpfungâ€, which turned into “Elis†later.
Being in a band, and music in general, always meant a lot to Sabine. Elis enabled her to perform in front of many people and to express herself in lyrics and melodies. She didn’t just make music, she lived music. It was pretty obvious how much she enjoyed the time she spent composing, recording and touring. She could easily be met at the merchandising table after concerts, always smiling. She was always very kind to fans, gave them autographs, took pictures with them or just talked to them. She was very open and honest, so there was never any doubt about her great personality.
Elis were just in the recording process of their album “Griefshireâ€, which Sabine called her “babyâ€, when her life was ended by a cerebral haemorrhage.
Two weeks before Elis were supposed to play at the “Battle of Metalâ€-Festival in Germany the band was rehearsing when Sabine suddenly broke down. She wasn’t unconscious, but felt sick and suffered from headaches. On top of that she became hemiplegic. She even said “I think I had a strokeâ€. Her condition got worse, so the Elis-guys took her to the hospital.
Because of her bad state she had to be taken to another hospital with a helicopter. But within short time she was actually braindead. She had suffered from a cerebral haemorrhage.
After her death Elis decided to release her “baby†Griefshire. Her voice and thoughts live on with it and her other music.
