About Eli:
To: The Indie Street Cred Powers That Be From: Eli, musician, 24, female, blue eyes, looking.

Seeing some random girl belt her heart out every Tuesday to Billy Crystal lit a fire in me so strong I started singing on the internet (so not that strong). I got a record deal from it, but they tried to make me be Justin Bieber, so I stopped This time though, I started posting everything; every demo, most thoughts, some selfies… I was throwing spaghetti at the wall. Do you like spaghetti?
