Elle's heart sung from first breath. As a child her love for music, dance and acting lead her into many classrooms, group lessons and private teachings in voice, piano, drama and dance. At age 17, she moved to Toronto, Canada from small town Ontario in search of a stage, with a long time passion for the new urban sounds, soulful vocals and heavy bass-lined beats.
Once settled in the city, Elle was discovered in Toronto's fashion industry and after spending a couple years with Nine West Canada, Toronto Fashion Week and a handful of high-end ladies fashion clothing lines, she focused more of her efforts on a more youthful urban wear. Working for once an online magazine, TorontoJungle.com, she directed photo shoots, planned a couple club fashion shows and supported Drum & Bass and Jungle music. The website went to print as Rinse Magazine in 2002 and Elle stayed on as Fashion Director. In their 5 year run, she showcased fashion pictorials with clothing lines such as Triple 5 Soul, Miss Sixty, Etnies, Parasuco, Big It Up, Akademiks, Ecko, Baby Phat, Circa, Spiewak, Ben Sherman, Zeto, Aaron Chung, Freshjive +++
During her first year with Rinse, Elle met an aspiring choreographer who taught classes in salsa, break-dancing, hip hop, jazz and urban tap & stomp. The two quickly became close friends and set off to work on the concept of a girl's Drum and Bass dance troup Jungurlz. With a new stage name, LauraBean, she took on the role of group's co-owner, manager and stylist. The troup performed all over Toronto in various shows and Drum and Bass clubs, with LauraBean as their prized dancer before breaking apart in 2004.
Elle's success and popularity found her introduced to a breakbeats producer in 2003. Upon discovering her vocal talents in singing, songwriting and rhyming, Pronobozo (www.pronobozo.com) took her to a different level in studio recording and stage performance. The Pronobozo Collective, including MC's J-Wan and Gatchaman, made waves with their collaboration titled Full Flex and took the stage at the 2004 Dark Knights car show. The Pronobozo album, "Zero Equals One Equals Everything", has reached fans all over the world and and continues to inspire her and the group.
Always dreaming of the stage and her love of music had Elle step to the mic again in early 2005. There present were the co-founders of one of Toronto's longest running Drum and Bass weeklys, Chronic Soundsystem. Resident MC, promoter and part-owner, Delirious D alongside his partner and CSS mastermind, DJ Wigs, invited her to test her talents even further as a live freestyle vocalist and MC. Since then, LauraBean now known as Elle Be MC has been soulfully rocking the mic at venues across Toronto and it's surrounding areas.
In fall 2008, Elle was awarded Best Local Breakthrough MC at the Toronto Drum and Bass awards by popular vote and performed live with Toronto's Best International acts Nicky Blackmarket and MC Fearless. She is presently the host of one of Toronto's most prominent Drum and Bass weeklys, Surface Sundays, helps assist with production and promotions of Urban Artist Television (www.uatv.ca), and is writing and recording her vocals with various Toronto-based producers. She is also in the process up setting up her own home studio, singing with a live Drum and Bass act called Instrumental and performing at this years Cutting Edge Music Festival brought to you by Destiny Productions.
