About

Hey there! I'm Elvann! I'm a Canadian-born harpist and singer residing in Helsinki. I have over 15 years of experience as a professional musician doing live performances, session work, and private lessons. My specialty lies in electric harp and vocal covers of metal classics by bands such as Nightwish, Iron Maiden, and Metallica, and video game music from Baldur's Gate, Zelda, & the Witcher.

I studied classical music in Montreal and earned my Bachelor's degree in 2016. My repertoire includes vocal and ambient instrumental music, featuring songs from metal, rock, video games, folk, and pop genres.

As a content creator, my YouTube channel has gathered over 5 million views, and my music has been streamed more than 200k times on Spotify. I've recorded vocals for bands all over the world, leading to my vocals being featured on over 100 tracks.

How I got here

Every chapter shaped the music I make today. Click any milestone to read the story.

2004 The first spark for music!

I heard Nightwish for the first time, and it completely changed my life. I wanted to learn how to sing just like Tarja, but I was way too shy to do it in front of anyone, so I started recording little bedroom videos for YouTube instead.

2010 Music College Admissions

I made the slightly unhinged decision to study music at Cegep de St-Laurent with very little formal experience. I made the decision only 3 months away from the audition. I survived on theory drills and stubborn determination, and somehow, I got in! This was the start of everything.

2016 Bachelor's degree in classical performance

After years of lessons, rehearsals, and way too many music history classes, I graduated with a degree in classical performance. The technique was there, but metal was already yelling my name from the other room.

2018 Featured musician at TwitchCon

I traveled to San Jose, California, and performed as a featured musician at TwitchCon. It was one of those wild “wait, this is really happening?” moments.

2019 Moved to Finland, land of metal and saunas!

I moved to Helsinki, joined Far n Beyond as lead singer, and fully committed to building my music career. Scary leap, but I never looked back.

2021 YouTube era unlocked

This is when I started posting regularly: covers, reactions, experiments, and a lot of trial-and-error that turned into momentum. The channel grew faster than I expected, and so did opportunities to collaborate with musicians from everywhere around the world.

2023 Rusalka entered the chat!

A huge personal milestone: I got my rainbow electro-acoustic pedal harp, the literal harp of my dreams!!! I had been dreaming of it for years never thinking this would actually happen to me. It opened up a whole new world of sounds and possibilities.

2025 Released my debut EP: Through the Mirror

I released Through the Mirror, my debut EP, with five songs living in that dark, cinematic symphonic-metal world I love. I poured my heart and soul into every note. It felt like finally opening the door to a sound that had been living in my head for years.

2026 5M views & 100+ collaborations

The channel crossed 5 million views, and somehow my voice and harp found their way into 100+ collaborations around the world. Every project still gives me that same creative rush!

A few things about me

Baldur's Gate 3, hands down one of the best games ever made!

Nightwish, Tarja era. The nostalgia is real.

Helsinki, but Montreal is always close to my heart.

I designed & developed this very website by hand myself with AstroJS & React.
