Ellie Verkerk
Biography
Drawing upon over 20 years experience, Ellie's work as a musical director and supervisor is infused with a passion for creating positive, joy-filled and collaborative working environments, and empowering others to embrace and reach their potential.
She combines her background as a multi-instrumentalist, classically trained musician with contemporary musical styles, which has led her to perform as MD on keytar for Punchdrunk, to playing lead piano for Lea Salonga at the Royal Albert Hall, London and gigging with her rock band. She teaches in the UK, Dubai and Barcelona, and would love to travel to other countries to meet and work with like-minded musicians and creatives.
She is stylistically versatile, used to working and triggering click tracks, and a confident backing vocalist.
