Performing as an artist has allowed me to discover who I am, my sound as an artist and the type of songs I create. ” “ artist. I didn’t have to get the “real job.” I just put in the work.

Spotlight on Business: What is the biggest lesson you have learned along the way in your professional journey? Elyse Saunders: Definitely to invest in yourself. These things don’t happen overnight, but if you believe in what you do, you don’t take no for an answer because you love what you do, and you are your biggest champion in the end. You can’t be afraid to make mistakes, or else you’ll never start. It’s really all about the journey of perfecting your craft, knowing who you are, learning the business, and eventually things will pay off. It hasn’t been an overnight success for me; but after ten plus years in the making, I can truly say that it does work out, and when the timing is right – when you have the right song and the right team, it comes together, it connects. I did this all on my own and that takes time and investment. The worst advice that I ever was given, was to get a real job. I believe that life is short, so why work a job that you don’t enjoy, when you can do something that you love, and something makes a difference in this world. Sure, there is risk, but after working many part-time jobs to make the dream work, I can now say that I’m living the dream as a successful full-time
Spotlight on Business: If you could go back in time, what advice would you give yourself? What’s the best advice and/or worst advice you were ever given? Elyse Saunders: As long as you keep putting one foot forward, keep working hard, be yourself, and work on becoming even better every day, everything is going to work out. Spotlight on Business: If you had the chance to do a duet with another artist, who would it be and why? Elyse Saunders: This one is always so hard to answer because there are so many I would love to duet with. I think it’d be so cool to work alongside my icon, Shania Twain, and write a duet with her, or Lainey Wilson, because I do really love both artists and their journeys. I think I could learn a lot from both of them. Lainey and I both have a similar career journey, I think we could create something special based off of that. So, either of those two ladies would be absolutely amazing to work with. Spotlight on Business: It’s been a few months since Heartbreak Rodeo. When can fans expect new music to drop?
