Eli Rose

The French-Canadian pop star translated her experiences into energetic and emotionally charged anthems, Eli Rose tells unforgettable and undeniable tales through catchy and candid urban-influenced Francophone pop on her 2019 self-titled full-length debut, Eli Rose [Maison Barclay Canada / Universal Music Canada]. The 10-song album includes collaborations with Ruffsound (Koriass, Loud, Zaho), DRMS (Ariane Moffatt, Fanny Bloom), Realmind (Loud, Allie X), Banx & Ranx (Sean Paul, Ella Eyre), June Nawakii (Nicki Minaj), Billboard (Britney Spears, Shakira) and Mike Clay (Robotaki, Clay and Friends). A near-decade career prepared her to share such a candid story. She first made waves as one half of Eli et Papillon releasing two albums in 2011 and 2015. She dove into creating her proper debut in 2018 and prefaced the album by dropping "Tôt ou tard” and the follow-up single “Carrousel” written in collaboration with Montreal duo Banx & Ranx.

The ISU Skating Awards, which combine the excitement of the traditional exhibition gala with the glitz and glamour of an awards show presented by Anouk Meunier and Elvis Stojko, were created to honor the world’s best Skaters competing at the ISU World Figure Skating Championships 2020.
