 Elisa Furr started taking piano and vocal lessons at the age of 14. She cut her teeth in live performance at age 17 when she began singing and playing keyboards with her band Nightshift in her hometown Little Rock, Arkansas. As time went on, Elisa began touring the United States with various bands.In the 1990's she made a pit stop in Memphis and was a fixture on Beale street for several years performing with pop recording artist Kevin Paige who had two hits on the charts including "Don't Shut Me Out". In a chance meeting with Paul Taylor from Winger and Steve Perry, she was propositioned to move out to the west coast to pursue a songwriting career. In 1996, she made the haul out to L.A. where she began writing music. Many of her songs have been placed in over 1,000 TV shows and five feature films. One weekend she went to visit Las Vegas where an agent discovered her and told her she could make a lot of money performing in Vegas. So the fly by the seat of her pants kind of gal, moved to Las Vegas the very next weekend where she landed her first house gig that very week at the Paris Casino. She remained at the Paris performing in both live entertainment rooms and also was a featured singer/showgirl in Bally's long running vintage vegas production show "Jubilee". Her other credits include singing on many national radio jingles. Elisa soon realized that for all the production work which she did, she needed to learn how to produce music herself so she purchased a home recording studio and taught herself how to write and produce. She is now completely self contained if the need calls for it and can write, arrange, and produce entire albums by herself. After performing in every casino in Las Vegas for several years, she decided she needed a new challenge so she created her internationally acclaimed "Tribute to Celine" show where she dons custom recreations of Celine's outfits and does entire concerts as Celine Dion. She is proclaimed as one, if not the best Celine Dion impersonator in the world. Most recently she was flown to Malaysia to do a performance for the King, Queen and Sultan and helped raise close to $100,000 for some of the Sultan's sisters charities. To this day, her benefit concert was the most profitable for charity's out of all the entertainers that have been chosen by Allstar productions to perform there. |
