This is a documentary by the amazing Tim Thompson, coming out in 2008. It features 4 amazing singer/songwriters from the Toronto area... and me! :)
Hi. I'm Elissa. I'm a singer/songwriter from Ontario. A large part of my childhood was spent playing the piano for countless hours and making up songs in my head. One day, the piano and the songs in my head found each other and they’ve been inseparable ever since. I began performing when I was 14 or so, wherever and whenever I could. Since those early days of sharing my music, I’ve learned how to walk for hours with a 35-pound keyboard, played in over 40 different venues in Ontario and performed for audiences across Canada and the United States. Recent accomplishments include competing as a finalist in the Guelph Songwriter finals, being featured in “Born to Itâ€, a documentary by filmmaker Tim Thompson, (featuring Canadian artists Ron Hawkins, Stephen Stanley, Alun Piggins and Wayne Petti), and working with Hamilton’s Vibewrangler studio to produce some tracks that authentically represent where my music is now. I’m passionate about creating honest, engaging music that allows me to connect with my audience and share what I think is important.I love to sing, I love to share my music. This is one of the ways that I feel most alive and experience true connection with what I love.Seek beauty, love truth, love people.I just started a blog! No one reads it yet, but still, exciting: http://elissaingrid.tumblr.com/-Elissa
