el. at Boolah Radio in exclusive set

Born in Alabama and now living in Phoenix, el. is a beatmaker, producer, graphic designer, writer, videographer, editor, Member of the Ninetofive and one of the co-founders of the global creative community Pass The Drive @passthedriveworldwide  along with DJ Quezs  @therealdj . With “too many musical influences to name them all“, el. says Thank You to Blackmilk, Madlib, Jay Dee, but most of all, his father.

His father was the first one to put music in his hands so “most of my influences are derived from him.” He’s passionate about music “above all else”, but beyond that, el. believes in leaving an imprint on the world, both as an artist and as a person. You never know who you might inspire, even if it’s after you’re gone.

el. – Hard to pin point the exact moment (where he first started making music), but a significant moment happened as a kid while trying to rap with my cousins and they elected to put me in charge of finding beats for them.

I was curious about music well before that, but being assigned the task of finding music definitely is something that allowed me to dive a bit deeper into music…ultimately leading to my Pops gifting me FL Studio.
