Testimonials from some

Country Music Greats:

 

“Upon listening to Elyse's version of our song " Nobody's Watchin’ " I was taken in by the husky soulful tone she has. It's that kind of voice that makes you believe in what the singer is saying. And Damn!makes you feel good Having co-written the song with Cyril , I also sang the guide demo which can become a staple in one's mind. Elyse performance showed taste for the arrangement and vocally added her own soulful flair. That's what count's." I dig Elyse's Vibe.” John Acosta Pop RnB Latin- Artist/Songwriter Producer SKY-Canadian Idol- myspace.com   www.myspace.com/ja53 “I recently had the pleasure of working with Elyse Saunders at County Q Studios in Nashville and she was a real pro! She showed up extremely well prepared and ready to work hard to make her vocal performances shine. Elyse's voice has a soulful quality with cool phrasing and a maturity beyond her years.” Rob Matson Recording Engineer County Q Productions Nashville, Tennessee "I recorded with Elyse recently and she is incredible. I was very impressed with the originality of her voice. She has her own style and sound, and has that rare ability and talent to communicate with the listener. I've often thought that is the most important part of a singer's art; the recognition by the audience that the singer believes in what they're singing, so the listener can believe in the singer. Elyse certainly has that ability and it shows in her performances. She's a rare talent and will make quite an impact in the entertainment world."

She made it her own and sang it from the heart. I loved her performance on the song.” Thanx Gary Gary Breit Toronto based Singer/Songwriter and keyboard player for Bryan Adams, co-writer of Paris Is Burning.  www.myspace.com/garybreit "Canada has produced some great female singers over the years and I have been lucky enough to have been able to work in the studio with several of them, including Lisa Brokop, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Michelle Wright to name a few. I have also had the good fortune of having songs of mine recorded by some other Canadian female greats, most notably, Anne Murray and Alannah Myles. All of these great singers had some special quality about them that set them apart from the rest. I think Canada is about to add another young singer to that list. After working with Elyse Saunders in the studio recently, I watched a young girl go in a few short months from just being one of the rest to stepping in to that category with those few that really have that something special, that unique sound that has a way of pulling you in to a song and making you listen. She has evolved from just being a singer to becoming an artist that I am confident people will want to listen to for years to come. The comments on her pure warm and soulful tone that I have had from people in the industry along with my co-writers and musicians on the sessions, are all the same... What a great voice" Cyril Rawson Songwriter/producer  www.myspace.com/cyrilrawson “It's always nice to see someone so young with so much potential. It may have been her first time in the studio but it's obvious that she's a quick study by the way she handled herself with such maturity. The future is bright for Elyse!” Lisa Brokop Singer/Songwriter/Recording Artist www.lisabrokop.com "Americans have been inspired by Canadian artists for decades. Elyse Saunder's talent rises from that great tradition. These recordings reveal depth and maturity. She's a star in the making." Steven Sheehan Recorded with: Pam Tillis, Kathy Matten, Trisha Yearwood, Dirks Bentley, Montgomery Gentry, Rodney Atkins. Toured with: The Judds, Randy Travis and Trisha Yearwood.
