About Eliza
Originally from Buckinghamshire, Eliza showed a natural flair and passion for music at an early age. She started playing piano at 7 then started singing and songwriting into her teens. She plays and teaches by ear and holds a BA Hons Commercial Music Degree from Bath Spa University as well as Grade 8 Distinction in Rock School Vocals. With a soulful voice, her musical style has a jazz edge, focusing heavily on intricate harmonies.
​
Eliza's mission is to get everyone singing! After being inspired by choirmaster Gareth Malone's BBC programmes working in communities, she began by getting students together to form a choir at uni, then cut it down to an a cappella group, Chicapella, which is still going strong nearly a decade on. She also runs singing workshops at workplaces such as the BBC & Silverback in Bristol.
​
What better way to showcase Eliza's students' hard work over the months than to bring them together for a recording and music video. Students each sang a line of their choice from "Perfect Day" by Lou Reed, picking a Bristol location that meant something to them. Eliza then brought all the students together to feature as a choir at the end of the song. The track was produced and mixed by Alf Cole and the video produced by Daniel Edney.
