Get to know Eli
Half Nigerian, half Welsh and born in Bath, Eli is certainly well travelled. She promised her father she’d follow a ‘reliable’ career path so took up banking, but when that fell through she rediscovered her love of music.
She’s a newlywed and is already finding it odd adjusting to the big shiny Voice stage one day and then work/home life the next!
She’s a massive Boy George fan so it was almost fate that our newbie Coach hit his buzzer and snapped her straight up for #TeamGeorge.
Quick fire with Eli

What is the best prank you have ever pulled? “I am very ashamed by this… but my older sister and I tricked my little sister into believing she had been adopted. Poor baby :( aww.”
