ELYSE SAUNDERS

Singer/Songwriter - ELYSE SAUNDERS is a country artist that blends her small-town Ontario roots with the bright lights of Toronto and Nashville – captivating crowds with her powerhouse vocals, dynamic presence and interactive charm. Catching one of her shows, it's easy to see why she's gained popularity at live music venues. Elyse Saunders has a decade of stages under her belt, with numerous singles to radio that have received airplay in Canada, UK, USA, The Netherlands and Japan. Featured in the Toronto Sun as being an artist "well on her way", Elyse is truly on her way with numerous impressive accomplishments under her belt. Some of these accomplishments include being a past CMAO nominee, a co-host for Dave Wood's 'In the Country' during the Canadian Country Music Awards red carpet, the recording of her FACTOR funded-album with three-time CCMA/JUNO award winning producer Joel Feeney at acclaimed Orange Lounge Studio (Justin Bieber, Amy Winehouse, Sam Hunt, Paul Brandt) and more.

In 2017 Elyse was invited to share the story of Equestrian Olympic medalist Jessica Phoenix and was inspired to co-write radio single, “RISE”. Inviting listeners to be unstoppable in their dreams, the single crossed-borders when Elyse was invited to perform it during the pre-ESPY Awards Show in Los Angeles and has been picked up for televised placement during the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. After catching the ear of Toronto’s DJ Danny D, he created a remix that cracked the Canadian Hit 20 Countdown for 10 weeks, reached 60,000 streams on Spotify, 35,000 Shazams, was added to z1035's Streetmix album and made available on Walmart's shelves.

2018 was eventful for this talented artist; consistently penning between Nashville & Canada, recording fresh music, headlining a number of stages throughout Ontario's top country clubs and festivals as well as sharing the same stage as Sam Roberts & Brad Paisley during Woodbine's acclaimed Queensplate festival. Not only was Elyse touring Ontario but Vancouver's coast with a sponsored Via Rail Canada tour.  Summer 2019 is showing to be an invigorating new chapter for Elyse Saunders with a growing tour calendar, brand new radio releases and polished music videos. The singles will be a sneak peak into her upcoming album release that is set to drop in winter 2019 and represents her boldest and most liberated group of songs yet.
