  • "I've learned to be patient, respect my boundaries in our host countries, be polite at all times and dress well even during the day, it makes a world of a difference"  Jonathan Deschenes - Band Leader

  • "Before joining el-live my computer skills were very elementary. In a few short months I've developed the essential skills for recording, mixing, and mastering in Logic. Some of my band mates are Protools and Acid experts. You learn a lot more than performance."  Matteo Parente - Guitarist

  • "I have been in 3 different bands in el-live so I have learned to cooperate with 3 different band leaders and observe their different styles of leading. It's still all about maintaining excellence and getting the job done."  Vanessa Lee - Oxygen

  • "I've learned better communication skills between musicians and singers on stage and off. I've learned that being a musician is not just about music. It's about becoming a family with whoever your working with, practicing, looking and being presentable and professional."  Jonathan Fields - Sonic

  • "I feel thoroughly safe working at el-ive. Since we work in premiere venues that are securely guarded, I feel that I can share my peace of mind with my family and reassure them 100%. at the end of the day you have to use your common sense and not put your self in harms' way like you would in any city back home, there is only so much others can do for you"  Marie Denis Chalut - Liquid

  • "This gig has made me a better musician/performer/entertainer/person. I'm not only learning on stage, but off stage. If you were to ask me a few years ago if I would be overseas doing music....I would have said "no way". Everyday is a blessing and everyday I'm thankful for working and doing music in this environment."  Henry Mariner - Oxygen
