Elizabeth Marvelly
Elizabeth Marvelly is a young woman of rare talent. She is being hailed as New Zealand’s new singing sensation, and it appears justly so. Only three New Zealanders have had international recording contracts with EMI Classics in the last ten years, Elizabeth being the third and most recent.
In September 2006, Elizabeth was hand picked by Dame Malvina Major and Sir Howard Morrison to share the stage with them on their 24 city “Knight with a Dame” tour. As a seventeen year old she held her own alongside the two veteran entertainers learning, as she says, an incredible amount.
Born and raised in Rotorua, New Zealand, Elizabeth has sung alongside artists such as Frankie Stevens, Rob Guest, Ben Morrison, Tim Beveridge, and many others. She has sung for the Labour party caucus with the Prime Minister in attendance, and in early 2007, sung for the Governor General.
Throughout her young life, Elizabeth has always strove to put her best foot forward in all endeavours. It was a dedicated girl who at thirteen drove with her father from Rotorua to Auckland every Sunday for singing lessons. This kind of dedication has become a huge part of Elizabeth’s life and has allowed her to follow her dreams of becoming a professional singer to the highest level.
Elizabeth performed at the Auckland Christmas in the Park Concert in 2007. In 2008 she will perform with Hayley Westenra and tour with British opera sensation Paul Potts.
Elizabeth’s debut album was released in December 2007.
