As a child, Elizabeth Bruce was told to grow a thicker skin. She chose, instead, to write music. She was an avid choirgirl in grade school, and by high school was using her self-taught piano skills to accompany herself and compose simple tunes. Folk sounds too wholesome and pop too flashy to describe her sound. This alt/folk/pop musician's inventive yet accessible songs aim to blur the boundaries between genres. Writing her own songs from an early age has allowed her ample time to perfect an original style which might accurately be described as sultry, intelligent and quirky.
Elizabeth has performed in a variety of venues, principally in Montreal and her hometown of Ottawa, notably at Montreal's Cafe Esperanza and Casa del Popolo.
Formerly a regular at Montreal's Yellow Door coffeehouse, Elizabeth has slowly started to branch out recently, working with other young artists around Montreal. All of her music to this point has been solo, but recently has begun seeking members for a band. In November she recorded a three song mini-cd titled Handmaden.
Elizabeth's work is not limited to the pop side. She has performed in several high-calibre choirs in Montreal, including Cantare and the choir at the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul. She received a B.A. in music from McGill University, and her grade 10 piano from the Royal Conservatory of Music. She is currently teaching music and working towards her graduate diploma in voice performance at Concordia University.
