Eli Secody

A Native Navajo born and raised in Page, Arizona. Eli Secody recorded and released his very first independent album, "Shinaana-Harmonized Prayer Songs of The Native American Church" in 2001. In 2002, Secody recorded and released his second album with Canyon Records, "Following Generation".
Secody released his third album in 2003, which would be his second independent album in his career. This was the release of the critically acclaimed, "Butterfly" which thousands were sold. Secody earned his first NAMMY (Native American Music Awards) nominations with this album. In 2005, "Butterfly" was nominated for "Best Traditional Recording" and Secody was nominated for "Best Male Artist". Among hundreds of other Native American Singers, Eli Secody was named "Best Male Artist" at The 2005 Native American Music Awards in Hollywood, Florida.
"Rhythm of a Songmaker", a beginning of a new chapter is his fourth album released in 2006. It has a bit of a twist to it. In this album, the Songwriter showcases brand new compositions with some Navajo Traditional style, a touch of Round Dance flavor, and the sweet harmonies of The Native American Church, all with a contemporary blend.
"Rhythm of a Songmaker" has a bit of surprise in store for those who are familiar with Secody's past work. He involves a very special hand drum, handed to him by a dear friend of his. Mark Barfoot handed Eli this special drum as a gift at the Santa Fe Indian Market in 2005. Secody had always dreamed to own a hand drum, but never searched to find one or buy one. He always told himself to be patient and it would come to him at the right moment in his life. This drum has brought Secody strength and creativity. In this album, Eli also has a couple of very special friends joining him. He features Mr. Keith Secola! Keith displays his talent with his guitar and flute. Featured also is the musician from The Martha Redbone Band, Aaron Whitby on keys. You can call it what you want, but the album is beautiful and amazing!
