Passion, Ambition,
and Commitment is what drives Eli
Barsi. It's these things
along with many other elements that make Eli a strong
independent International artist. Her original vocal, song writing
skills, yodeling talents and musicianship make her a hard working
artist that's in demand. Eli's enthusiastic performances deliver
high energy with an unclouded relaxed sound that audiences find
irresistible.
At the tender age of nine
years old, Eli stepped on stage of the Kennedy Saskatchewan Legion Hall to
perform for the Canadian Lieutenant Governor. Little did she know that
this performance was the start of a promising career. Since that
performance Eli continuously proceeds on making music her life career,
insisting on always giving her best in every facet of the business. She
says "I didn't pick music, it picked me". "It was always
there".
Eli, originally a farm girl, has always had this love and drive to perform
music. She grew up listening to music from Wilf Carter, Kitty Wells and
the Carter Family. It became very evident at an early age that Eli would
be destined to live a life of music. Eli started musically singing at the
age of three although her first live performance wasn't until the age of
nine. Throughout the years Eli started to learn various instruments
including keyboard and guitar. After a short while she was playing
mandolin, autoharp, tenor banjo and writing songs.
From playing
at school functions to playing at College functions, Eli took a giant leap
and experienced life on the road as a full-time musician. Now, with
sixteen years of steady professional playing and eight years recording
experience, Eli continues her climb in the music business.
Eli has successfully
released eight Canadian charting singles with three reaching the Top 20.
Videos were filmed to support three of the singles and received great
rotation from CMT Canada.
