Is as Muineachán d’Eilís, a thosaigh a fhoghlaim ceoil ag aois óg agus a raibh an seans aici an chláirseach a fhoghlaim ag Club Píobairí Ard Mhacha. Lean Eilís ar aghaidh ag forbairt a scileanna ceoil le lear teagascóirí eile agus tá taithí ollmhór faighte aici mar sheinnteoir. I ndiaidh di a céim BMus a chur i gcrích ag Ardscoil Cheoil agus Drámaíochta Institiúid Teicneolaíochta Bhaile Átha Cliath, bronnadh gradam Leo Rowsome uirthi as an ghnóthachtáil is airde sa Cheol Ghaelach Thraidisiúnta. Tá mórán taithí faighte aici ag comhoibriú agus ag seinm le ceoltóirí ó raon leathan seánraí. Tá Eilís faoi láthair ag tabhairt faoi PhD ag Ollscoil na Banríona, Béal Feirste, ag díriú ar bhailiúchán ceoil Edward Bunting.
