Musical History

Eli has a very broad, massive history concerning music- A pianist at age 6, she didn't take it seriously until 4 years ago- she plays mostly by ear, aside from classical and jazz peices she plays at lessons.

She also of recent began playing guitar, as of May 2005. Mostly self taught at guitar, she hasn't gotten very far, though she can play enough to perform a song or two. Eli currently owns three guitars; - A very broken down acoustic Yamaha from God knows when. - A very horrible Jay Turser Strat Body Electric. - Most recently, an Alvarez acoustic, which actually sounds decent.

She has also has said in the past she'd like to play drums and bass guitar. Otherwise, she plays harmonica, recorder, xylophone, and a type of Israeli drum that anyone can play if they picked it up and tried.

As for her singing career, she was inspired by Amy Lee of Evanescence to not take any voice training, rather, develop her voice on her own- She is believed to have around a 3 octave range. She is originally an Alto, but extends to Coloratura Soprano range.

As for starting a band, she has stated many times a desire to form a band- the band would be an attempt to combine the unique Symphonic Metal style of Netherland bands Within Temptation and After Forever, with the political underground rawness of bands such as The Unseen and Anti-Flag- whether or not she can accomplish this, moreover, if ANYONE can accomplish this will be determined.

As of 2008, Eliana has moved on towards a solo career, gathering influences from various female vocalists such as Alison Sudol, Sara Bareilles, Floor Jansen, Sharon Adel, and Haylee Williams. Although she has certainly added pop to her repetoire, she asserts that she has not forgotten her punk and rock roots.
