Faith-Driven and Fearless: Elenee’s Rise in the Canadian Gospel Scene

In this episode of Behind the Music, we’re joined by Elenee—a JUNO-nominated, multi-award-winning Christian/gospel artist, producer, and songwriter—for a raw and honest conversation about the journey behind her rising success.

We dive into her recent experience attending the GMA Dove Awards (often called the Grammys of Christian music) and what that moment represented for her as a proud Métis and Greek Canadian woman in the gospel music scene. Elenee opens up about performance anxiety, the importance of staying steadfast in spiritual discernment, and how she continues to push past fear to embrace her unique voice and calling.

She also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her upcoming projects, including a new EP and a viral worship covers series, and drops powerful music marketing tips for independent Christian creatives. As the founder of the Canadian Christian Artist Accelerator, Elenee is passionate about mentoring artists and equipping them with the tools to thrive both spiritually and professionally.

From writing songs at age 8 to performing the national anthem at the National Prayer Breakfast in Ottawa, her story is a testament to what happens when faith meets purpose.

If you're an aspiring gospel artist, a fan of Christian music, or simply love stories of faith and perseverance, this episode is for you.
