Frances Elizee is Bigger Than...

About Me

Debby Frances Elizee. About me? I love God and myself; I bravely love others and love to laugh. The mission? To discover (key word) my niche of songwriting that positively reaches people at their core. I like to think of myself in no particular order as a songwriter, musician, singer, perpetual learner (go NYU!), teacher and a musical social worker...gotta give back to the community :). For bookings, songs, or you just want to help an ambitious Ladybug build, email: [email protected].

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 15/10/2004
Band Website: www.franceselizee.com
Band Members: Seul, Sola, Solo
Influences: My influences are self-discovery, love of God, passion & observing folk; my red guitar; pain & choosing the wrong men, and random talents. Oh, some artists are in the mix as well: Ella Fitzgerald, Nancy Wilson, Anita Baker, Sade, Lauryn Hill, Barbara Streisand, Beres Hammond, Mary J. Blige, Santana, Prince, Nina Simone, Celine Dion, Otis Redding, Al Green, Tanya Stevens, Quincy Jones, George Benson, the music of Gamble & Huff... Feel where I'm going? It is the sincere/raw emotion, the passion that comes out with the notes/words heard and sung, the instrumentation... the arrangement. Can you close your eyes and visualize the story or just get a rise? That's what inspires and moves me.
Sounds Like: Myself? It doesn't matter who I sound like.
