Elli

Fast emerging artist, Elli is taking the music scene by storm. With a soulful blend of eclectic influences, his original sound is easy to enjoy and impossible to categorize; and that’s just the way he wants it.

Born, Nkruma Kojo Nkuah in Ghana, Africa in 1995, Elli moved at the age of four to Toronto where he began his music education singing, playing drums, bass guitar and keyboards for his local church.

Elli comments that he started recording songs in his basement in 2009 and since then has been committed to his art. With both singing and rapping making appearances on his track list, Elli doesn’t pigeonhole himself into any one genre. He considers the craft of music an open-minded pursuit and lets the art take him where it will.

With influences as diverse as Drake, Chris Brown, 50 Cent and Lil Wayne, as well as soul artists like Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway, Elli makes it his point to bridge gaps between musical worlds.

Elli’s new EP, Millennials, sheds light on current trends and issues and creates a song base that everyone will relate to. Ranging from topics as diverse as mental health and relationships, his songs capture the pulse of this generation.

Already opening for acts like Sean Kingston and Peter Jackson, Elli has already laid the groundwork for what is sure to be a promising career. Featured on Toronto’s 93.5 hit radio station The Move, people are starting to take notice. And they like what they hear.
