ELI

There’s an undeniable surge of authenticity that ensnares you with ELI – an alternative artist whose music blends pop, RnB and electronic influences into a sound that feels both nostalgic and new. Heartfelt and rebelliously vulnerable lyrics are projected by a powerful yet tender voice that soars over a gigantic wall of pop production. His music recalls the raw power of Medium Build with the experimental edge of Caroline Polachek.

Taking cues from his parents’ diverse record collection – spanning from Prince and Whitney Houston through to Radiohead – ELI crafts songs that balance intimacy with a drive to break his own victim mentality.

Early singles Dummy, 15 + Alive and Imagination introduced his emotionally charged style, while Rough and Slow earned BBC Radio 1 support from Jess Iszatt. His recent Mahogany Session struck a chord with queer audiences and beyond, racking up over 150k views in its first month and paving the way for his first UK headline shows.

His latest release, DELUSIONAL – a confessional look at recognising your own toxic relationship only after projecting it onto someone else – was mixed by Richard Wilkinson (Adele, Amy Winehouse, Kaiser Chiefs) and has been featured on Apple Music’s New Music Daily & New In Pop. These singles are stepping stones towards his highly anticipated debut album in 2026.

With Dance With You set for release on Jan 20, ELI continues to evolve as one of the UK’s most exciting new voices – an artist building momentum through each release, each performance, and a growing community that craves connection.
