About Me

Eliot Rich's experience in the music business is as varied and colorful as the music he makes. As a hip-hop emcee with CYPHER:DISSIDENT, a rock and roll guitarist with Phat Camp, a producer and recording engineer at his self owned an operated studio Mr. E's Productions, as well as a show promoter, he has a diverse knowledge of all things that groove. His latest project does just that, grooves. From subtle and sweet harmonics to down and dirty drum and bass, Eliot uses a foot operated sampler, and tons of effects to transform his Les Paul Custom Studio into a one man band. In each unique performance Eliot will improvise over sampled drums to create a colorful pallette of sound. You'll hear hip-hop, rock and roll, drum and bass, funk and trance over the course of a performance. His lyrics reflect current events and self discovery...venturing into the political and the intellectual, but never straying too far away from the party. Listeners will watch intently as Eliot constructs each piece, while the dancers will just close their eyes and move.
What people are saying about Eliot Rich-
"I was checkin out your music, and I dont know if its intentional or not but your music reminds me of a trip. Like a serious trip. Like DMT or something. Not a fun and games trip like acid or shrooms, but like a serious no shit lets go down the rabbit hole and see just how deep our mind goes DMT trip. Its amazing."
