Bio / Background
In addition to NY radio, native-New-Yorker Elli Fordyce’s earliest exposure to jazz was at the jam sessions of best buddy and then-drummer Bobby (“Darin”) Cossotto, which occurred while they surreptitiously cut classes! Soon she was singing with a local dance band followed by a summer with a jazz trio. But, months after a triumphant debut before a thousand other freshmen at the University of Massachusetts, Elli chose marriage and a family over career.
At 30, after returning to performing and studying Music Ed, she and fellow-student/musician Randy Fordyce helped form a jazz quartet. The next 14 years often found Elli “on-the-road” learning and plying her craft. From cruises to Playboy Clubs, hotels to restaurants or in concerts, both in the U.S. and Bermuda, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico and other islands, she sang – sometimes jazz, more often pop – in cover-, lounge- and show-groups which she fronted and emceed.
↓ more ↓That phase of her life ended on a snowy highway en route to a gig in Illinois when their drummer drove Elli’s car containing the band and equipment into a disabled truck, haulting a year’s tour by “Elli Fordyce And Her Favorite
Things.” She focused firmly on needed physical and spiritual healing and, tossing out a four-foot stack of sheet music and fake books, stopped singing for 15 years (“not even ‘Happy Birthday,’ not even in the shower”).
After naming her Yorkie puppy “Dindi” (Portuguese for “little jewel”), title of Elli’s favorite Jobim bossa nova, Elli would sing it to her, inspiring Elli’s return
to her first love: jazz. In a cabaret class taught by brilliant MAC-Award-winning recording artist Lina Koutrakos, Elli learned of renowned jazz pianist/magical educator Barry Harris’s workshops. Barry, her long-sought jazz guru, put Elli squarely on her path and made a comeback inevitable.
Elli has since performed in the NY-Metro area in “a tune here, a run there, a show or event somewhere else” including an appearance in the Town Hall Cabaret Convention. She’s trained in acting and voice-over, taken performance workshops and studied voice, music theory and jazz improvisation. Her first record in progress, Elli acts in films and on TV, interviews artists co-hosting a
local show and was in “Guys and Dolls.” As she says, “Hey, it’s never too late!
