Hello, thank you for your time, please introduce yourself in a few words!
Hey my name is Elias most people know me under ELI. I’m a 22 year old singer, songwriter and producer from Germany.
Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tourdates, new videos?!
After starting off as an independent artist, I just released the first two tracks together with Sony music. The first single is called SAD and my latest single is called Ghosts. Both songs are super important to me. They paint the perfect picture of my emotions during the writing process. SAD is about being sad and having a hard time to accept that feeling. GHOSTS is about that moment after a breakup when you feel incredibly lonely but you still have a feeling that this person you parted ways with is still haunting you, like a ghost by your side that doesn’t let go.
Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!
I pour my heart out in all of my songs.
My favorite thing about being an artist is playing live!!! I love to connect with the people directly.
III. Although I make music for myself I would say that I’m a peoples artist. It’s the best feeling in the world when the people are able to relate to the emotions and feelings of the songs I write/ sing.
I love the universe haha (I’m an absolute universe freak lets put it that way).
I’m always trying to be very self reflective in my music.
What can we expect 2020 from you?
A lot of new music!! I went through a lot of ups and downs 2019 and that helped me define my sound. So I finally know who I wanna be as an artist and how I want to sound! The music that I’m listening to has changed a lot and so has my own music. I listen to a lot of Bazzi, Lauv and Post Malone so my music is definitely heavily inspired by these artists.
Do you have bad habits? A guilty pleasure you cant seem to quit?
I’m late most of the time … working on it though… aaaand sometimes I’m too honest haha but that can also be good.. 😀
Beside music, do you have any special talents?
I’m pretty competitive so pretty good at any sports but other than that its only music haha.
Being on stage feels like….!
Heaven!
