# Elizabeth Proteau > I am Elizabeth Proteau, a singer, songwriter, and multidisciplinary artist performing as ENDELLE. I create original music shaped by honest storytelling, emotional depth, and a love of sound, movement, and visual expression. Through intimate recordings, live performances, covers, and musical theatre, I connect with listeners who find beauty in both light and darkness. My work is personal, imaginative, and always rooted in the joy of creating something meaningful. - **What does a singer and songwriter do?** A singer and songwriter develops original songs through lyrics, melody, vocal performance, and musical interpretation. The work can also include performing existing songs while bringing a distinct artistic perspective to each piece. - **What can I expect from a live music performance?** A live performance combines vocal expression, musical storytelling, and a connection with the audience. The atmosphere may be intimate, energetic, reflective, or a blend of these qualities depending on the setting and material. - **How are original songs developed?** Original songs often begin with an idea, emotion, lyric, melody, or musical phrase. A professional songwriter shapes those elements into a cohesive piece, refining the arrangement and performance so the song communicates clearly. - **Can a singer perform both original songs and covers?** Yes, many singers perform a combination of original music and carefully selected covers. This can create a varied experience while allowing the performer to share personal work alongside songs that resonate with listeners. - **Why work with a professional singer and songwriter?** A professional brings vocal skill, musical sensitivity, and thoughtful preparation to the performance process. Their interpretation can help a song feel more expressive and create a memorable connection with the audience. ## Services - [Live Music Performance](https://endellejoy.com/services/live-music-performance.md): I perform original songs and covers for live events, showcases, and intimate music rounds. - [Original Song Performance](https://endellejoy.com/services/original-song-performance.md): I bring my original music and storytelling to stages, listening rooms, and curated events. - [Cover Song Performance](https://endellejoy.com/services/cover-song-performance.md): I perform selected covers and musical theatre songs for audiences and special events. - [Songwriter Showcase](https://endellejoy.com/services/songwriter-showcase.md): I share original songs and the stories behind them in songwriter rounds and showcases. ## Contact & Social - [instagram](https://instagram.com/endelle.joy_) ## Pages - [Home](https://endellejoy.com/index.md) - [Links to Explore](https://endellejoy.com/me.md) - [Personalised Live Cover Set](https://endellejoy.com/services/cover-song-performance.md) - [Personalised Live Set](https://endellejoy.com/services/live-music-performance.md) - [Original Music Listening Set](https://endellejoy.com/services/original-song-performance.md) - [Original Songs, Shared Personally](https://endellejoy.com/services/songwriter-showcase.md)
