Biography

Elizabeth Chan is a touring and session drummer from New York City, based in Nashville, Tennessee. She has traveled with a variety of artists, including eight-time GRAMMY Award winner Carrie Underwood and eight-time ACM Award winning powerhouse trio Lady A. Elizabeth has also appeared in the house band for the CMA Awards, CMT Awards, and ACM Honors, supporting acts including the Jonas Brothers, Avril Lavigne, Keith Urban, and Lainey Wilson. Whether playing to anthemic rock and country melodies or accompanying folk and pop ballads, one thing is consistently evident: There is never a lack of passion in what Elizabeth does. Music has long been a part of Elizabeth's life. Growing up in Brooklyn, New York, Elizabeth became highly involved in the rich local music scene of New York City. Under the direction of drum teachers Paul Tso and Phil Bloom, Elizabeth began diving into genres from rock to R&B, jazz to hip hop, and gospel to latin. By the age of 17, Elizabeth was offered a full-tuition scholarship for music; and by the end of her college career, Elizabeth had graduated summa cum laude, played more than 270 shows across the United States, participated in 7 tours, garnered multiple endorsements, and worked with several notable artists and songwriters. Elizabeth now resides in Nashville, Tennessee, where she has established herself as a sought-after musician, accompanying numerous artists on tour in the pop, country, and CCM genres.
