Fabienne Erni (11 Mar 1993 - present)
Associated Acts: Eluveitie (2017 - present), Tvinna (2017 - 2019), Illumishade (2019 - present)
Vocal Range: E♭3 - F♯6
{Vocal Summary}A swiftly rising star in the symphonic metal world, Swiss singer Fabienne Erni first burst onto the scene as the new female vocalist (and Celtic harp player) of acclaimed folk-metal institution Eluveitie. A higher-placed singer than her predecessor Anna Murphy (a dead-center mezzo), Fabi also is a more show-offy vocalist; she has powerful, ringing belt notes and loves to show them off, with numerous massive "money notes" demonstrated throughout the fifth octave. Her head voice can also hit some impressive whistle notes, although she seldom uses it in her work with Eluveitie. There's nothing much to report with her lows; she has decent control over them up to a point but seldom goes too far down due to her high placement. What sets her apart the most though, is how utterly clean a vocalist she is- both in terms of her immaculate tone and her precise control over her pitch and volume during live performances. This strength, more than anything else, has driven her well-deserved ascent into one of the strongest and most in-demand vocalists in the genre.
