After graduating from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama two years ago, Elijah has established himself as one of the UKs most exciting male jazz singers. Elijah released his debut EP, One of Her Clowns in June 2023. The EP marks Elijahs first foray into writing and releasing original music, fusing his love of jazz with soul, singer-songwriter and folk sensibilities. Elijah has a wonderful voice - with an almost Randy Newman-like quality, yet with an engaging sense of fun and Swing. Expect classics from the songbooks of Nat King Cole and Mel Torm, selections from the likes of Kurt Elling and Muse, as well as Elijahs own writing from his debut EP and beyond. The other half of this excellent quartet are top rated drummer Mark Whitlam and bassist Paul Jefferies.
