Elaine “Lil’Bit” Shepherd, born in Bahrain, began performing at a young age. In 1997, she immigrated to Vancouver, B.C., Canada with her family, where she continued to develop her musical talents, transferring and blending the sounds of her origins with the West Coast Canadian vibes she met. Blessed with a confident voice and creative ability, Lil’Bit is recognized as “the little girl with the big voice,” as her iconic, sweet tone is pleasantly alluring and draws a listener into her world of dramatic presence and passion. Lil’Bit began seeing regular rotation on community airwaves across Canada, and in June of 2010, Lil’Bit received The Most Promising New Artist Award at the RMAA’s. This award – a milestone in itself – ultimately foreshadowed her acceptance of the most prestigious award in the Canadian Music Industry: in 2011, Lil’ Bit received a JUNO Award for Reggae Recording of the Year, an honour that she received graciously. Elaine “Lil’Bit” Shepherd’s accomplishments speak for themselves but her voice speaks louder, as she continually evolves as a professionally-minded strong woman and as a relentlessly passionate artist. Her sound is bold, and her humble frame exaggerates the beauty her soul speaks, making Lil’Bit a Canadian icon worth following closely.
