About Me


The VELVET ELK is the brainchild of singer-songwriter/producer, Don DiLego. Years in the planning, it is the independent artists dream escape. Acting as an independent label, recording studio, and free-form radio broadcast, The Velvet Elk has become the perfect haven to get away from the madness of the city and record an album in the most relaxing atmosphere, undeterred and at your own pace. That is, unless the wild turkey and deer start fighting in the back yard or get spooked by the occassional black bear mauling.
Oops. Did I just say that outloud? Anyway, it's a cool place and everything is covered in crushed red velvet wallpaper.
So there.
