Aaron Ellis

Developing from Huntington Beach California, Aaron Ellis has a musical style that is at times explosive with in your face melodic guitar runs and then is reined back to a nice and cozy sound that is comforting to listeners of all ages. His audience ranges from middle-aged people who find a sense of worshipful relaxation in his music to teenagers who like to rock out to the sounds of bands like Mars Volta. On Ellis’ debut EP, Soli Deo Gloria (Latin for To God Alone Be the Glory), the guitars are rocking with a warm overdrive, the drums flavor the style at times with complex rhythms and other times lay a solid foundation with familiar yet simple rhythms. The piano drives the song titled “Success” which has an artistic rock sound inspired by Radiohead. The lyrics on the Soli Deo Gloria EP cause people to think about Christian doctrine and the important priorities in life, like salvation and the role of a father within the family.

Aaron and his wife, Jackie, dwell in Huntington Beach California and together they have a one-year-old son named Boaz. With a Bachelor’s degree in music from Vanguard University of Southern California, Aaron spends his time leading worship at a local congregation and writing songs to use in corporate worship settings. He has much to write about and is dedicated to living out the concept of “Soli Deo Gloria” in his writing. Everything he does is for the purpose of bringing glory to God.
