About Me

I'm Ann-Marie Elie; colloquially known as Annie Elie..
I'm more into writing my own music & singing it..
but until I get that recorded here are some tunes I've done with the extraordinarily talented folks at Fine Arts Center.
Scratch that, I'm fin'ly figuring out this thing called recording so I will have my originals up shortly.
"Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets." -Oscar Wilde
I love pushing the envelope..going where no one thinks I will go..talking about things that people do not expect me to talk about.
We all have a voice in some way, shape, or form. Singing & writing are the ways I get to use my voice..& I feel truly blessed to do so.
So I'm currently enduring my last year at Fine Arts Center.. it is the most intimidating, exciting place ever, & I am still loving the fact that when I wake up I get to go there every day. It's a different form of home to me.
I really just want to make a ton of records.
write on everything! (even on ledges that happen to take place on famous bridges..)
create & perform live perennial music for people.
TRAVEL! Help people around the whole entire world.
and live the way I should & ought to live.
Oh yeah,
& I also really want a tattoo.
Thank you for listening..
xxpeace
