Short Description

Hi, I'm Elie and I've been working as a singer songwriter for the past five years. I write my own songs and am signed to Ginger Dog records, my first Album GOLD DIRT came out in November 2019 and got to number 7 in the singer songwriter charts along with a lot of local radio play including BBC Essex and Suffolk. Ever since I switched to performing solo I've been gigging as a covers artist as well, mostly playing pubs. I learn songs I like and songs that get requested of me a lot, but, all the songs I do I connect with so I can deliver them will the proper feeling. I've sung in hundreds of pubs and my unique song choices always go down well with something for everyone whilst also being very hard to pigeonhole. I'd say it was a folk/pop thing, the sort of music you'd expect at a music festival and I can settle into the background at a wedding or get a crowd up and dancing and singing at a party as well. I'd pick this act if you're looking to uplift your event and add a cool element, as its just me its quite low key but will really enhance the atmosphere. Your friends /family /punters will feel relaxed and chatty and like they are involved with the music.

What to expect

You'll let me know what time you'd like the music to start and where you'll be. If possible we'll chat a bit on email before the event and you can let me know what sort of vibe you are after for the event. Then, I will turn up 60-30 minutes before the gig to set up my little PA. Hopefully someone will be able to tell me whereabouts you'd like me to sing but I can also guide you on where would be a good location within the venue for me to set up. When it's time to start I'll sing for 45-50 minutes then take a 10-15 minute break and I'll start up again after. If we've agreed different timings, for example you want 1 hours singing I'll do that instead, weddings are always different but feel free to book the standard 2 x 45 package and we can sort out what you want after. At the end I'll pack up quietly and slip out as best I can with the PA.
